I Love Halloween!!!!...



These are a few of our pumpkins from our very first garden! I of course had no idea what I was doing when I planted the garden; so I planted about six or seven pumkin hills in about a five foot space, and did the same with watermelons, and also zucchini(much to everyone's amusement who knows better, and apparently that IS everyone else!) So needless to say we had pumpkins and watermelons growing EVERYWHERE, and zucchini coming out our ears! We have all learned to love zucchini bread:) Gavin was very excited to pick them and put them out on the porch. You gotta love fall. Crisp air, pumpkins, crunching leaves, and best of all Halloween! We went to the "Barnyard Boo" at Thanksgiving Point the other day. It was fun and of course completely overwhelming...I didn't know it was the first day of fall break for school kids so it was a barnyard in every sense of the word! But we made it through the crowds, Gav got a pumpkin tatoo, frosted a cookie, rode a pony, threw bean bags into an enormous pumkin, a kids dream, until it all becomes to much and then tantrums begin and it is very much time to go home :)Here are some pic's of the day.


Found this witch very amusing stood and laughed at it for ten minutes!




Look at my sweet tattoo!




Who needs to stand back at the throwing line?

Um...I never blog... so here's an update!

So it has been long while since I have blogged anything. So here are some pics of the last couple months. Gavin has found a new love of ducks, and we feed them at a cool little park behind Lone Peak Highschool. We also recently enjoyed Alpaca Day in Alpine...I know very random, but actually quite fun AND educational!(and free which was the best part!:)) Gavin and Rob rode a little train we fed alpacas and Gavin even got to sit on one. I got a sweet new camera for my birthday-Canon Rebel xsi -so now I have no excuse not to post pics. We are also expecting baby #2 as you can see by the obligatory blog countdown badge:) So I guess quite alot has happened although everyday I think what did I do today???!!! There are conveniently no pictures of myself because I am in the HORRIBLE TERRIBLE stage of feeling pregnant, ugh, but not yet really looking pregnant, just feeling like a chubster.
