Labor Dayin', Piano Playin', Pumpkin Weighin' Kids

Once again my pics are all backwards! I'm too lazy to mess with rearranging them once I upload them! Some of these are a little late but you know what they say...


For family night a couple of weeks ago, my brother Josh and his wife Kristen joined us with their cute little Leah at the pumpkin patch. We all took a hayride through the field and then picked the biggest pumpkins we could carry. After the hayride, the kids rode around in the kiddie train.

The worst picture on the post of #3 and 4 riding in the train after the sun went down.


Goofy, I mean, #1 showing off his indian corn.

Why I love this little girl...


#2 and his big ole' squash.

(Check out #4...pretty proud of herself!)


For Labor Day this year, my parents came down and we all went on a hike up Bullion Canyon in Marysvale to to this awesome waterfall. Thank heavens we have Josh to tell us about all this cool stuff around here! Even granny Shelley made the treacherous hike without falling and tearing, breaking or bruising anything. We were so proud. The only bummer was missing Lisa and her family. We'll have to do it again sometime...


The little fam at the falls. It was a great day!


And last but DEFINITELY not least, #2 started piano lessons against his will last week. It's hard to get in with any local teachers and since #1 is back in guitar, #2 got the only spot. He told me on the way he wanted to quit piano. I told him you can't quit something you don't even start. After I picked him up, he was all grins telling me how awesome it was. He's even practiced every day without being asked. I'm so proud of ya, Jarr!
