Pumpkin Party

We love our traditional Pumpkin Party! It was a little sad this year to not have Grandma Sandra there with her pumpkin pie. We eat chili and bread sticks, carve awesome pumpkins and clap for the great display then we choose prizes from the big bucket. It's so fun!

Brigg loved working on his pumpkin.

I love my cute look-alikes.

Paysli with her cute pumpkin. Check out her awesome stem! Randy was so great to help her.

Anne with her creative pumpkin.

Jason wins the best uncle award. He is always so cute with my kids!

Now that's a fabulous pumpkin display!

Paysli enjoying a caramel apple as big as her.

Becca has turned into an amazing babysitter.

Grandpa is usually behind the camera. It's so nice to have him in a picture... or two.

Addi and Brigham

Awesome!!

School Awards

It just so happens that BOTH of our girls got recognized for something at their school assembly in October. Shaersti got the Super Scholar.

Anne got the Big Foot Award. It was pretty fun to go see both of them.

Deer Hunting... or is it Deer Camping?

Neither Scott or I drew out for a tag this year. Did that stop us from going to Deer Hunt? Heck no! It turned into just a camping trip instead. 

Me and my big girls went on a little nature hike. 

Paysli pretty much just hangs out in the trailer the whole time so we have to get pretty creative with games and play dough. 

Our trailer was the place to be when the sun started going down. We became the major kid hangout. They had tons of fun playing with their Fuller cousins. 

Here's a our mini 4-wheeler again- doing what I'm pretty sure it was NOT designed to do.

At least someone had a tag and shot a deer so our son could check it out.

McDonald's

About 80% of the time when my parents tend my kids they end up at McDonald's. It makes tending a little easier on my parents and my kids love it. I'm not sure who is more blessed... me to have such great parents, or my kids to have such great grandparents. Either way...

Becca's Birthday

My mom doesn't love the idea of birthday parties, but we do! This year I threw a birthday party for Becca and it was pretty cool. We played Wii Zumba, had a scavenger hunt (thanks to grandpa), ate pizza and cake, opened presents, played night games, then watched a movie. 

My mom does get credit because she paid for it all and watched my kids while I threw the party.

Wii Zumba

13 Years Old! Isn't she cute?

Cousins

Cousins, Cousins, and more Cousins

Our lucky kids get to play with their cousins almost every single day. They are all such great friends!

The older ones love to play with the younger ones. It's so awesome!

Just Horsing Around for FHE

 A lady in our ward invited Matt's family to their horse property for FHE and somehow it turned into a big Emett bash. 

There was lots of horse-riding...

and just plain horsing around.

Brigham was so excited to see a tractor up close.

Aydree didn't really care, but she was cute anyway.

After we rode the horses we had a big campfire dinner.

What a fun night!
