More Pumpkin Patch

 

Daddy felt like we needed even more quashes so he took some helpers and went back out. 

We do enjoy our squash. We are harvesting our garden and other friends grapes and apples in preparation to make grape juice and applesauce. We sure do enjoy the harvest season and all the amazing produce that can be grown in a summer. 

Pumpkin Patch

The whole family helped to harvest squash and pumpkins for Halloween and to eat throughout the winter. We are big fans of squash. 

Friends were showing us there dog, donkey, goats, pigs, cows and fruit trees. The kids were loving all the animals and the farm experience. 

This little goat doesn't know what is good for her and she keeps getting her head stuck in the fence. I and one of our friends were able to free her. Ezra was very concerned for the goat. 

This little park is in the town of Paradise, Utah and we go there  every week why Evelyn goes to her violin lessons. Stetson taught me a bit about Pickleball, the kids played on the slides and swung on the swings. The weather was a little cold at first but warmed up as the day went on. 

Evelyn has struggled to get back into a good practice pattern but I think that she has finally turned a page and has practiced 3 days in a row. 

Stetson and Hailey started piano lessons this week and they are off to a good start. 

Co-op is fun and we are getting lots of time with new and old friends. 

Evelyn is really enjoying gymnastics and loves that she gets to go with friends. She also loves to teach her siblings what she learns in class each week. 

 

Cousins Wedding

 

This is our family in front of the Pocatello Temple. We were so excited to get out of the car on our way home from Teton Idaho. We were surprised by the kindness of a lady who jumped out of her car and asked if she could take the picture for us. I love the kindness of others. 

Sage is now married and this is the inside of the tent were the reception was held. Unfortunately the weather and wind did not know about the family request for good weather. At least the rain held off until the next day. 

All of the girls helped me as we prepared the flowers for the entire wedding. It was a lot of fun to teach and create for loving family.  

Travel was short and school still happened. 

Homecoming

We looked outside our front door one Thursday and saw all of the high school marching band walking in front of our house. So i gathered up the kids and we went to the homecoming parade that started two blocks from our house. They threw out way too much candy!

Evelyn turned ten on September 3rd and she really wanted to invite all of her friends over for a royal princess party. This picture was taken as they were all going on a scavenger hunt to find the treasure, Evelyn's gift's to her friends. 

Dressing up is a regular activity in our house. 

All school activities are now going in full swing. 

Stetson is really liking his Rocket class and the opportunity it gives him to show off to his friends and entertain his siblings. 

 

Labor Day Weekend

So these kids have an awesome Dad who loves to go to new places. He planned a great trip to Louis Lake in WY. We saw a lot of nothing on the way to a beautiful mountain cabin retreat. 

On the way to our cabin we stopped in a very small town in WY called Farson where we met this famous owl 'Hoot" he has been in over 125 movies including the Harry Potter series. 

We payed to have our picture with him. 

The really cool part of our trip is that all of these kids grandparents were with us. We did some boating, hiking, genealogy, fishing, camp fires, Dutch oven cooking, knitting, church, swinging and exploration. We love getting away as a family and destressing in a new environment.
