Pumpkin Patches

We were able to hit up two pumpkin patches this Fall. The girls didn't have school on October 10 so we took a trip with some friends to Bloomsbury Farms.

Then, later in the month we made it to Colony Pumpkin Patch!

Run for the Schools!

Charlie, Evy and I completed the 1 mile fun run for our schools! We had to get up super early! The girls did great, starting and finishing strong. There may have been a little walking in the middle. After the race we enjoyed a big stack of pancakes at Blue Bird Cafe.

Book of Mormon

Scott and I snuck away from the madness for a bit and enjoyed Book of Mormon at our brand new Hancher Auditorium. Hancher was completely rebuilt after the flood of 2008 and I am thrilled to have this facility back online. The show was great and almost made us forget that we did not eat dinner that night. We went out to eat before the show but the restaurant was so slow at preparing our food we had to leave without eating!

Raking Leaves

We discovered that it is too chaotic to take all of the kids along to Evy's basketball games. So, one parent stays home with Charlie and Will while the other takes Evy. Of course this only works when both parents are available, but we're trying.

So, while Evy and Scott were at basketball I kept these two crazy kids entertained with a tiny pile of leaves. They thought it was so fun to rake the leaves in a pile and jump!

Basketball League

Evy was invited to participate in a basketball league this year. She is not a huge fan of basketball but we decided this was a great opportunity for her to build skill and confidence. Plus, the coach is her best friend's Dad so it's a great way to spend time with friends. 

Her team is called the Lady Bears. They practice once a week and have a game once a week. 

Fall Festival

We were able to spend the weekend with my parents and my brother's family and my hometown Fall Festival. 

Such fun touring a turtle farm. Evy is holding a baby turtle.

A pet racoon. Not kidding.

Home made "boat".

Evy got 2nd place in the 7 year old tractor pull. She and a boy had to have a "pull off" in the finals and he beat her by about 4 inches. She was pretty proud of her trophy.

Crazy cousins

Charlie gave her best effort in the 5 year old category.
