Timpanogos Temple Trip

Last week I took Josie and Jackson to the Timpanogos Temple. Josie woke up that morning talking about the temple and how she wanted to see it, so I decided to take them on a little trip. Josie touched the temple for the first time!

Jackson was pushed in his stroller by Josie much of the time. He liked looking around, and we just about put him to sleep.

Josie's favorite thing was seeing Moroni on the top of the temple!
It was fun to take her and teach her.

Fall Leaves

Almost all of the leaves are now down in our backyard, so we took some
pics of the kids playing in them! Josie loves throwing the leaves
up in the air and jumping in the piles, while Jackson enjoyed watching her.
I even got a few poses of the kids to put up in our living room!

Jackson got a good mouthful of leaves that I had to keep fishing out!


Crawling in the leaves made this boy sneeze! Here is his sneezing face!
I wanted to put this one in the living room, but Steve protested for some reason.


These pictures below are now hanging on our wall in our living room.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was great! Steve and I went as old people, Josie was Tinkerbell, and Jackson was a baby bat! We went to My brother Kris' house in Orem and
trick-o-treated his neighborhood.


Steve's day started at 6am where we started a process of using liquid latex and make-up to coat his face and make him look 50 years older!

and here is the happy couple!


Here is my brothers' family that we went with.

And more family friends, the Millers.

Josie and cousin Liesel rode in the cart for a while.




After a while though, Josie insisted on walking like all of he other big kids.


We had quite the group!


Pretty soon everyone was tired enough to want to get in the cart.
Josie was still adamant about walking, but we were more adamant
about her riding in the cart!

Jackson was a great sport about everything! He just kicked in his stroller
even though it was starting to get chilly.
Josie was starting to get tired by the end of the hour.

Here is Josie and her Loot.

Here are the cousins!

Jackson was quick to explore and run around after sitting for so long!

Carving Pumpkins

We had a lot of fun carving this year! We had Laurie and Andy over,
as well as Candi's Sister-in-Law Jill.

Even Josie did a pumpkin!

Steve carved a wolf.

Candi did the haunted house. Jill did the cat.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch two weeks ago and just had a blast! There were animals, mini mazes, hay rides, tractor pulls, slides and of course, a pumpkin patch! Here are some pics to highlight!

These Goats were crazy aggressive! They were ramming each other every time we came by, so we just fed the nice one.


Check out this Corn Fight!

This is Josie doing corn angels!



This was a maze made out of hay bails.


In the Pumpkin Patch, Jos loved sitting on the pumpkins!



Here is the tractor pull.

The only thing Jackson enjoyed was sitting in the pumpkins, other than that he was really bored! We brought lots of pumpkins home!
