Fall Fun

November 1, 2013

We had a blast this fall!

October 18-20, 2013

Visit from the Johnsons!

On Saturday we went to Way Fruit Farm for pumpkin picking. 

We had a tasty lunch there. 

Reuben enjoyed his hot dog in a very original way. 

"Are you laughing at me?"

Then the boys showed off their muscles

 at the Apple Slingshot. 

There was a truck out in the field to aim at.  

 Sawyer

Dad

And Uncle Scott

Reuben decided just to watch.

Then we went on the hayride. 

I love every face in this photo so much!

Pumpkins pumpkins everywhere!

Reuben really loves pumpkins!

Like a lot!

My pumpkins in the pumpkins

Then we went home and carved our pumpkins.

That night ate dinner at a local mexican restaurant. 

And went back to the house to eat Ashley's homemade 

apple pie she brought and celebrated Scott's birthday!

After the kids went to bed we finished carving the pumpkins, 

and watched Hocus Pocus while snacking on pumpkin seeds 

we had baked from our pumpkins earlier that day. 

The next morning we just hung out for a little while

 before they had to get on the road. 

Somebody snuck in their family photo. 

We sure love these guys!

Come back and see us again soon!

Halloween Festivities

We had a lot of fun Halloween activities this year.

CARVING PUMPKINS
Friday October 19, 2012

Scott and Ashley drove here to visit for our annual pumpkin
 carving, Hocus Pocus watching, evening tradition.
Since Scott's birthday was October 17th, we made him a cake!

Then we got carving!

We sure love the Johnsons!

Next year, we will head to Cleveland 

to keep this terrific tradition alive!

On Saturday we carved our other pumpkin

 since we ran out of time on Friday.

 The boys cut the top off and scooped out all of the guts.

And then let me carve it. I hadn't carved a pumpkin in a while.

It was so fun. I made the big, bright, smiley one.

I love the tooth on Lance's pumpkin from the previous night.

Our family with our pumpkins.

DANVILLE HALLOWEEN PARADE

Thursday October 25, 2012

Downtown Danville

We were super lucky to sit by a sweet family

who let us squeeze in by them and even let me sit in an extra chair 

that they had so that Sawyer could get close to the action. 

In addition, they made sure that their kids saved
 some candy for Sawyer to pick up. 

Reuben was entranced by his first parade.



At first Sawyer wouldn't move an inch away from my lap,
but by the end of the parade he would stand by the curb
 and hold his bag out as far as he could.

THE PUMPKIN PALOOZA

Saturday October 27, 2012

Downtown Danville

This event had so many FREE, fun things to do!

They had dressed-up ducks and donkeys to pet and feed. 

They had carved pumpkins you could view.

They had pumpkins kids could paint.

(I love his concentration face!)

They had games where you could throw pumpkins.

Bean bag pumpkins...

...and real pumpkins.

Lance was excited to do that one!

You can see his pumpkin flying high in the sky.

Then Sawyer tried it.

But was very disappointed (AKA-Broke into tears)

that his pumpkin didn't go as far as Daddy's did.

But luckily they had pumpkin bowling 

for the kiddos to distract him.

He was much better at the bowling!

And much happier!

It was a perfectly pumpkiny palooza!

TRUNK OR TREAT

Saturday October 29, 2012

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

Two cute little Engineers 

driving Thomas and Percy.

After some yummy chili and desserts, 

we headed out to the parking lot.

Sawyer's buddy Chandler showing him his candy!

Playing in the leaves!

TRICK OR TREAT

Wednesday October 31, 2012

Heading out on All Hallow's Eve.

Somebody was tired.

We just went to see family this year on Halloween, 

but between the parade, trunk or treat, and trick or treat, 

I'd say we have more than enough treats to get us to Easter!

Reuben's First Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

From my two favorite Engineers!
