Pumpkin time

We went to the pumpkin patch for phoebes school trip. We picked out pumpkins for everyone. Luke wanted the biggest one I could find. Allie wanted the "perfect" pumpkin. Phoebe wanted a cute one. And Mac picked a tiny Mac size one!

If course they looked great on the porch!

Next it was time to carve them!  Our great friends dave and Renee asked us over to have a carving party!

These guys take it serious!  We had a blast!

This was the first year Allie carved by herself. She hates pumpkin guts!

Finished products!  Bat is phoebes Frankenstein is Luke's. Ghost for Allie and Y for Mac!

Crawdaddy!

We had the chance to join some friends crawdad fishing last weekend. It was so crazy and fun. It was nice because unlike fishing there's no skill involved. You get some string and tie a raw chicken drumstick to it. Throw it in the water let it sink to the bottom and wait a few minutes pull the string up and see if anything is eating your chicken!  Chances are something IS eating it!  We learned if as you're pulling your chicken up you put your net in and scoop under the chicken you'll catch anyone falling off the chicken. We had great success. Though we happily sent them all home with our friend Beau!  They ate them up at his house!

It was very pretty up at Scofield Reservoir!

These little guys are quite strong!

Big Sister...

 The other night I had put Mac down for bed, and he was crying in protest... well I ignored him but his Big sister didn't... Though I was doing laundry and didn't think too much about it... but then I noticed that his light was on in his room... so I open the door and find this!  Phoebe was reading him a book and he was LOVING it!  He was totally checking out the cool book!

 And of course Loving hanging out with his big sis

 Aren't they just adorable!

Watch out world!

Holy Cow, we are going to be in trouble come teenage years... Look at these girls they are Gorgeous! And they KNOW it! Worst part is these are just quick test shots before school this morning....

What eyes!

And of course not to be forgotten these handsome little devils!

Luke's Pumpkin Patch Adventure (with Bee)

Grandma and Grandpa had the "honor" or taking Luke and Phoebe to the Pumpkin patch with Lukes Preschool class, it was supposed to have happened on Friday but since the weather was rain and Freezing they changed it to Monday... So we were down in New Mexico and couldn't go!

The whole crew on a truck

They got to pick out pumpkins and go on a hayride...

The Maze was a big hit, Phoebe wanted to be ON the maze, Luke said he fell asleep in the maze... thankfully Phoebe came and woke him up...hmm, some storyteller he is!

Camping at Fish Lake

Fall is in the mountains, it is so pretty the weather was perfect.

Mac's first camping trip... our family at Gates Lake....

Everyone enjoyed fishing with Grandpa!

And this is Proof that my kids can sleep anywhere... on the way home from Gates.. (which is the bumpiest road ever) Luke climbed up on the folded camp chair, put his head in my lap and fell asleep! Allie fell asleep too... Seriously? Crazy kids!
