Marens Halloween Birthday Party

Happy 5th Birthday MarBear!

Maren is always making us laugh with her crazy comments and stories. She always has something to say and has such a funny personality. She's a little spitfire and is a determined little 5 year old. We love you Maren, We're so happy your part of our family. Happy Birthday !

Pumpkin Picking and Consuming Cookies

Alina and her boys came up to visit this week since the kids were out of school for Fall Break. We always have such big plans to conquer as much as possible when they come, and after it's all over we're always exhausted and didn't do everything we wanted. The kids are just happy being together and playing at Grandmas, but we did squeeze in some fun activities- Grandma made sugar cookies and we helped frost, decorate and of course eat them!

After driving for an hour and a half to get to Santaquin (don't ask) we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. We got to take a tractor ride to the patch and pick our own pumpkins.
The night before we tie-dyed all of the kids orange pumpkin shirts. Nathan said it was cruel and embarassing to make all of kids wear the same thing. They loved it.

Happy Halloween

Instead of carving pumpkins this year, we decided to do something different. Last night we painted our pumpkins and turned them into scary Halloween bats. They loved painting and I was the only one who spilled black paint all over the floor. Happy Haunting!
