Helping Hands

The children helped make this pumpkin patch dessert for dinner with the missionaries. We followed the recipe for "Dirt" and added the pumpkin patch on top with some green frosting, very easy and fun!






The boys help with the laundry...getting ready for their missions...




Our fall time wreath we made for the front door. We went for a walk and collected the leaves, then painted a paper plate, added handprints and glued the leaves on.
Brigham takes it upon himself to be the taste-tester for this batch of no-bake cookies.

Great Memories

Our kitten "cupcake", is always a welcome sight to the children, and Sydney loves to harness the dog, with anything she can find. The van is the newest member of the family and we love it! ( I don't know why the pictures never line up, and are in the strangest arrangements, I've tried to fix it)














The joy of the harvest











Fall time is my favorite time of year, I love the harvest. This was our first time pressing apple juice.

Ballet




Sydney started Ballet in September, she loves it!

September Birthdays!





























Celebrating our birthdays were Dad (4?) and I (29).

There's no time like family time!










































Our family trip to Great Wolf Lodge...Amber, her little ones, and Aaron join the fun! We swam almost every waking moment, the children loved their bunk beds, and Brigham found a great hiding spot.
