Pumpkin Carving!

Sienna has been very sick all week and was still not feeling very good.  So dad was kind enough to clean out her pumpkin for her! And yes, Kade is standing on the table. There is a reason he is always looking beat up. He won't keep his feet on the floor. 

Notice how Landon is cleaning out Bronsen's pumpkin.  My kids have never really liked digging into pumpkin guts. 

 Finished products!




 Cutest Trick or Treaters Ever!
 The Avengers!!
 We added Thor to complete our theme. 
 Kade totally made my night!  He was so excited to go trick or treating.  We clocked him running about 5 miles an hour down the sidewalk.  He wasn't about to be left behind.  He was so excited that people were just handing him candy!
 Then he refused to come to the passenger door so that I could help him in. He climbed in the back hatch with the rest of the kids. 
 This house had a light on but nobody answered. Kade refused to leave even after all the other kids were back to the van.  At one point he sat down on the step to wait it out.  I eventually had to go haul him off, kicking and screaming of course.  


I've never loved the hulk so much.
It turned out to be a super fun night!  Then we headed home to a house that had been invaded by teenagers.  These are the ones we got pictures of.  I think there were about 40 kids there at one point. But it was fun and I'm glad they all came over.

Still the best month!  

Towards the end of September the Francoms invited us up to Camp Jackson for a night at the Lodge and some fun.  We stayed up talking, laughing and bugling elk.  Then spent the next morning riding 4 wheelers, playing by the lake and enjoying a crisp fall day.  It was so beautiful up there. I wished that I would have planned for family pictures!


 Kade can never get enough of 4 Wheelers

Bronsen and Bryant stayed out on the water most of the morning I think. 

 Just before she fell out of this tree!

Parker recruited some help in making his beaver dam. 

 Steve had to try fly fishing, but had no luck!


We left the mountain a little early and headed over to the farm to get a load of wood.  

 Some of us work a little harder at getting wood than others!

Some of us just sit and look cute!

Catching Up!  

I am a little behind on keeping up the blog.  As soon as soccer ended (which I didn't even get pictures of) football began.  Steve coached Parker's team.  They played hard and had a good time. Parker had some fun friends on his team. And Steve survived trying to direct 10 rowdy boys.   


The 3rd graders were all on the same team and divided up each week to scrimage and keep the teams evenly matched.  It was a great way for the kids to get some experience without one team dominating.  Bronsen had a lot of fun. I think he enjoys the social aspect of sports as much as the competition.  




This is the end of this year's sports for us.  It's nice to catch a little break before basketball and wrestling start with the new year.
