What Have We Been Up To?

Well, get ready, because it has been a busy fall. We started out with the flu, not swine flu, just the good old fashioned yucky flu. So we did a lot of this...

...and a lot of this....
Then we finally got to move on with life. We helped gramps pick some apples. Yum!

Picked some good lookin' pumpkins to make jack-o-lanterns. Look at that cute little pumpkin in the back!

We went to Cornbelly's with some of Hunter's favorite pals, Hannah and Makenna. Oh, Hunter and his harem. Ha, ha. These kiddies had a blast finding easter eggs? Yes, black and orange easter eggs were hidden in the kiddie corn maze. Sounded odd to me, but they loved it! There was also a cutsey playground complete with a corn box. This is a sandbox, but filled with corn. Makenna was a huge fan of this. She spent quite a bit of time filling her shoes with corn and then dumping it back out. There was also a princess land with a bounce house and pumpkin coach. Hunter got to play prince charming to his two leading ladies. Super fun evening!

Craig played in a flag football tournement. No concusions this year, just a ruptured ear drum. Hunter had fun watching his daddy, and kept making a break for the field. "Put me in coach!"

Happy Halloween. We kicked off the day at Grandma Greats. Look at all these cute great-grandkids, and this is only half of them! What a legacy. Hunter is a dino, excuse me, a T-Rex. He was really good at staying in character all day.

And check out the Wicked Witch (oh I mean don't worry Hunter, mommy's a nice witch), a festive trick-or-treater, and the one and only Lady Gaga.

Here we are gettin' ready to go collect our Halloween loot.

With the thermomenter dropping every day, we decided to make a break for St. George. Hunter was loving Grandma Barnard's (he calls her Ha Ha Grandma) tub toys. The kid was a prune and the water had turned freezing by the time we coaxed him out of the tub.

We made a trip to the dino museum at Johnson Farms. This was really cool. My favorite was the mud imprint of a dinosaurs skin. That was amazing. Hunter is a big fan of anything dinosaur related. He impressed the volunteers with his dino knowledge. If you are going to work at a dinosaur museum you better know who ornithomymus and parasaurolophus are because some 2-year-old might come in and ask you about them.

And then we came home to this. Aw crap! Hunter is a bigger fan than I am.

We trecked down to Springville for Thanksgiving. The Bonds opened their home and were fabulous hosts. We loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa Barnard, the Zevenbergens, and even little Kai who is all grown up and camed down from Rexberg. The food was delish and the company even better. We gobbled till we waddled. Except for Hunter, he couldn't slow down long enough to swallow a single bite of turkey. Not will all those cousins to run around with. He especially loved wrestling with his bigger cousins. I just LOVE this family.

Fwew! Anyone make it down this far? Well that was fall.

BRING ON CHRISTMAS!!!!
