Pumpkin Patches and more...

Pumkin Patching...
I think every family has a season where they come alive more than at any other time of the year and my family is a fall family. There is truely no other season that is looked forward to more than the autumn and everything that comes with it. Every October it is our my families tradition to go to the pumpkin patch owned by the little old couple behind Zions bank in Draper to pick out our pumpkins for Halloween. Everyone found a pumpkin they liked and Alex even found a leaf bug which was the highlight of the whole trip for him other than getting to pull the wagon full of pumpkins.

Another well looked forward to event is all the girls going out to gardener village to have some witchy fun! This year unfortunatly it was just Alex, my mom, and I but we had fun none the less.

Halloween!

Halloween!

Halloween is definitly a family favorite and this year especially. Alex has soaked in everything halloween all month and nearly came unglued when the time finally arrived to wear his cotume and go trick-or-treating in the dark. He literally ran from house to house yelling "happy halloween", "trick-ot-treat", and keeping a constant conversation with "Mr. Moon" telling hin all about the candy he was getting and how dark it was outside etc. We went around our entire block and then trick-or-treated my parents whole street. It got to the point where his bag was too heavy for him so he would drag it. We would ask him if he was all done and in a tired but determined little voice he replied "no need more candy!" I think he had more fun that night than he has ever had in his life it was truely our best halloween yet!


This is our pregnant pumpkin with the baby pumkin inside :)
