Halloween Fun

Before Thanksgiving is upon us I thought I should finish up with my Halloween posts. On Halloween my mom and I joined Kollette and kids for some trick or treating in Kollette's neighborhood.
Eryk changed his mind during the week and went from being a Ninja to being a vampire.

Kaitlyn played the part of a fairy rather well.

Cheyenne was a good witch

Cheyenne's went with her friend Jessica, because after all 6th grade is to old to be hanging out with your mom, dad aunt and Grandma on Halloween.
Even Sadie joined us for the evening

After going door to door begging for candy we went back to Kollette's for Chili and doughnuts

Cheyenne was out a bit later than we were and got a bunch of candy.
Kacey and Kim came out to visit and to show off little Ruby
Who was dressed in the monkey suit her mommy made her.
She slept the entire time they were there.
She did enjoy the thoughts of her Halloween treasures
That conclude my Halloween fun this year.

Trick or Treat Street

Afer the trip to the pumpkin patch it was time to head back to Grandma's house, where we met up with Amy and the rest of her kids. We quickly got the kids in their costumes and headed down to Spanish Fork Main street for some Trick-or-Treating fun.

Our first stop was at the Wonder Bread out let

Where Ruby got her very 1st Trick or "Treat"

Ryan dressed in Grandmas old Clown costume

Gage was passing through on his way from a band competition in St. George.

Kaitlyn thinks her candy is super yummy!

It was sad to see the trick or treat fun come to an end.

Pumpkin Pickin' Time

On Saturday October 25th we set out for our annual trip to Rowleys Southridge Farm for pumpkin picking! We have been going here every fall since the year Eryk was born (about 6 years) Maybe even more. The weather could not have been more perfect for this trek

This year we were joined by Kacey, Kim and little Ruby.
Taking the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch

Our first look at what the patch has to offer. Somewhere in here is the perfect pumpkin.

Checking them all out
.
This one is a little too lopsided.

This one has a blemish on one side.

At last we spy the most perfect and beautiful pumpkin in the patch.

Kacey and Kim rush in to sweep her up

Kaitlyn found a few that were just right

Eryk got his rather quickly

Even Cheyenne managed to find one.

After we all found our pumpkins it was time for some picture taking fun.

The new family See I really do exist.

And at last the pumpkin picking was done and it was time to return to the barn with our pumpkins and wonderful memories. Until next year.

Halloween Cards

Happy November 1st. I cannot believe that is November already and that I am so far behind in blog posts. I am going to try my best to get caught up before all the holiday madness hits at work and I have no extra time for anything. I wanted to share some Halloween cards I made this year. I didn't make as many as I normally do but I did some by staying up late one night and I actually managed to send them out before Thanksgiving :) Lately I have just been running behind and all my cards seem to arrive after the specified occasion. I recently joked with a Friend that I would have a baby card made by the time the baby graduated from High School, it wasn't too far from the truth either :) So here are this years Halloween Cards! Thank for looking.

Now it's on to Christmas cards. Ordinarily I would make them for Thanksgiving as well but with all that has gone on this year I am about a month behind so it is best to move on to Christmas. I think I need to invest in some time management training. Then maybe just maybe I could get things done.
