We went to Wheeler Farm to pick our pumpkins. For $5 you got to do a small hay maze, pick a pumpkin and go on a wagon ride. Pretty good deal and their was hardly anyone there.
Carving Pumpkins
A few days before Halloween we had a few neighbors over for dinner and carving pumpkins.
Ian always has something in his mouth. Sometimes it's food and sometimes it's money, marbles, lego's, monster trucks or fingers.

Dane working hard on his design. He drew his face and cut it out all by himself.
Happy Halloween!The BIGGEST & Best HaLLoWeEn yet!
My neighbor, Nancy, and I organize a neighborhood Halloween party each year. This was our 3rd year and it was the biggest yet. We probably had 70 people! She and I have the best time planning this shin-dig. First we meet at Nancy's and load up on the wagons for trick-or-treating. Then we go back to Nancy's for a pot luck dinner and games.

Ian LoVeD trick-or-treating. He was either asking me to open the candy or he would just sit down wherever and start eating.
The kids at the after party. Notice Ian is on a sugar BUZZ!
Dustin and I went as Fred and Wilma Flinstone thanks to Nancy. It was the best we could do 2 hours before the party.
Reduce Reuse Recycle
Dane's kindergarten class is learning about recycling and Dustin volunteered, or maybe I volunteered him....(I can't remember) to take on a little recycling project. Dane's teacher had 2 old hand-pull golf carts similart to the one in the picutre below, and she wanted to show the kids that you can make something new from something old. So this is what he and the MD Motorsports shop came up with. The kids were delighted and the project was the talk of the kindergarten!
This is Red testing out the finished product. Dane LOVES Red's mowhawk and wants one too. It looks great when it is standing straight up.
We Will Miss You Both!

Dustin and I made a very difficult decision and put our doggy children to sleep today (September 28, 2009). Bigs and Nattie were both just shy of their 10th birthdays. We got the dogs just a few months a part when they were puppies. The girls were also our flower girls/ring bearers at our wedding. Unfortunately, the last year has been rough on both the dogs and us. They were both incontinent and we had accidents almost daily.
For their last day Ian and I took them to Tanner Park. The girls grew up walking there and have nothing but good memories of those days. I walked them there all during my pregnancy with Dane and even after he was born Dane made his first appearance at the park at 5 days old. Dustin came home from work early today and we made concrete garden stones with their paw prints in them. The kids were then taken to neighbor Rosie's house to play. We have the most awesome vet (Rick - Salt Lake Vet Services) that comes to our house. It was nice to be able to sit with the girls on their dog beds while they peacefully passed through to Doggy Heaven. It was a sad but peaceful moment.

Child Prodigy
Ian learned how to ride a 2-Wheeler with no training wheels today. He is less than 2 1/2 years-old. Thanks to friend Eva ,who has been letting Ian ride her Scoot bike for a few months, he learned how to balance. So when he tried out the pedel bike he already knew how to balance and the pedeling part just came naturally. He was so proud of himself and so were we. Starting out by himself is still a bit tricky though. So if you have a wee one and haven't checked out the Scoot bike yet, do it! I promise you won't ever have to mess with training wheels.
