FAMILY COMES TO TOWN!!

We finally got someone to come to New England! Ok, so Spencer was transporting a prisoner and was only here one night but it was still about time someone came. We met him in Manchester,NH and went out to dinner. We had a fun visit, the kids were soooo excited to see their uncle Spencer. Thanks for comin to see us Spencer! Anyone else want to come visit? Anyone?? Keep in mind, I have travelled to see all my siblings/in laws. I'm just sayin.

THERE'S AN IDEA!!

I love it when my kids are really listening when we read scriptures. It's fun to see where the conversation will go. We have been reading the Book of Mormon Stories for the last few weeks. Friday we read the account of the three Nephites. Ella was very interested in this story. She was trying to wrap her mind around the idea that they are still here today and who they are when Cooper said,

 " what are their names? We could Google 'em."

I got such a kick out of that I had to share.

FALL FUN!!

It's that time again...

The annual raking of the leaves

It looks like any other perfectly raked pile of leaves.... or is it?

Yes!!! The long awaited reward for all their hard work, destroying all their hard work.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We went to a Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday.

The kids had a great time and have more candy than they can handle, but that's what mom and dad are for.

Never trust a Zombie

The Little Devil with her daddy

Trunk-or-Treat anyone??

We couldn't let the kids have all the fun dressing up.

How cute are we?

Not as cute as these little guys, ok, maybe cute isn't the right word to describe Cooper . Say hello to the Zombie, Winnie the Pooh's Hunny pot, Tigger, and our Little Devil

STARFISH

The leaves have all pretty much changed except for the ones in our backyard. For some reason they are always the last ones to turn. It worked out this year that they were so slow because we got a pretty cool picture out of it.

Getting ready for school a couple of weeks ago, Ella came running in to tell me she had found a starfish....

Pretty cool Ella!

TRIP TO THE APPLE ORCHARD

We didn't pick many apples this year but there was still lots of fun to be had

Jack is always up for tossing anything

Black Walnuts it is!

Tree swings are the best!

A little help here!

What big eyes you have!!

No corn maze is going to stop my boy, he'll just make his own way out.

I WANT TO LOOK JUST LIKE YOU DADDY!!

October has passed me by and I have failed miserably at blogging so here's my attempt to catch you up, starting with this little gem.

It's all about the hair or lack there of in this case. After Mason experimented with a mohawk he got to cut his hair short so he could look like dad.

A darling duo if I do say so myself
