Carving Pumpkins.....

Every year we have a pumpkin carving party at my parents. They are definitely sports to let us all bring are pumpkins to carve. Oh the joys of carving pumpkins....the slimy hands, the big mess and not to mention pumpkin seeds everywhere!!! I'm sure glad Greg is willing to tackle this activity with the kids each year!!! I don't really have the patients for it. :) Along with carving the pumpkins we also frost and decorate sugar cookies...yum yum!! Now you know the kids love that!

We also celebrated Mandy and Devon's birthday. So, if the cookies and all the candy to decorate them with weren't enough we also had cake and ice cream to go along with all the fun!! What a great way to kick off the Halloween week!!! Sweets, sweets, and more sweets!!!

American Fork Canyon....once again!!

The Carson family invited us to go to the canyon for dinner....again!! With the weather being pretty nice for October and the leaves changing it actually wasn't to bad!! My mom and dad even joined us this time. It was a lot of fun....I really mean it!!! Of course the kids had a blast. My mom took them around to find the prettiest leaves, they had a pretty good collection. My mom absolutely loves the colored leaves, its her favorite I think she may have had more fun than the kids!!! We also played charades and of course had some s'more's!! Thanks again for the fun times Mom and Dad and the Carson clan!!!

Happy Birthday Brookie!

My niece Brooklynn turned 5 in September. For her party, April took them to Build A Bear!! As you can see, well kind of....they came home with Hannah Montana bears!! Now it wasn't just the bear, no no no they had the wig, the sunglasses, the purse, the shoes, the brush, and lets not forget the stroller!!! Thank you aunt April for everything, you really didn't have to do so much, but I know Ashlynn sure had a blast and she is really enjoying her Hannah Montana Bear with all the accessories!!!
