The Best Month of the Year , October

Just had to start the month off with this photo. It is actually from October 2006. It's a favorite of mine. Grammy brought the wax lips over for Halloween, and honestly don't they make for a great picture?




Now here is one from this October. Grammy and Papa came over for Jackson's football game or was it Addy's volleyball game? Either way we love having them and we snapped a great picture of them out with the pumpkins harvested from Cole's pumpkin patch.



Well here they are, all carved and ready for Halloween! We had a great family night with the Johnson's. We have a running tradition of an annual Halloween contest. Although the pumpkins are hard to see, Brent's and Addy's seem to be the favorites!

September Wrap

Good times on the Utah trip! Brent and I enjoyed a long weekend in Utah. He went to meet up with some friends for Golfapalooza while I did some serious playing. I met up with two great girlfriends for dinner one night and then shopped, shopped, shopped with my favorite aunts! Here we are enjoying a Thai lunch break! (Whitney joined us too!)


While we were living the life in Utah my mom was not only holding down the fort in Walla Walla she was making memories and new blankets for the girls! Here they are in this picture. Aren't they the cutest!


And of course we have to mention that our favorite babysitter and best friend, Katie, got her mission call! She will enter in the MTC on November 12 and serve in the Cleveland, Ohio Mission!

Cole's Pumpkin Patch

So had to post this pic from August as we have had our pumpkin harvest We had great luck with the garden this year, which by the way was grown all from seeds! Cole entered his pumpkin at the fair and got a red ribbon! Addy entered her watermelon and also got a second place ribbon. Elle and Jackson each had projects from school entered.
