Pumpkin Pickin

On Saturday afternoon, I had to work so my mom took the boys to my Grandparents where they "picked"pumpkins. Last year, my grandpa grew a few pumpkins and the kids got to pick one out. Well this year it didn't happen so Pa'Pa went and bought some and stuck them in his garden. HAHA! The kids got to decorate the pumpkins with little faces and afterwards, Pa'Pa and Landon made the cutest robot made out of wood. They had a blast and I wish I could of been there. At least my mom is good about taking lots of cute photos!

Utes Vs Huskies

Chris has always been a HUGE Washington Husky fan while my parents are even bigger Utah Ute fans...My mom is constantly buying the boys Utah gear but thought she should make Chris happy by buying each of the kids a Husky t-shirt. Anyways, a few weeks back, the Utes played the Huskies and Chris was all pumped up. He got the boys dressed that day and of course put Carter in his Husky tshirt. We headed to my moms and he went straight to the big screen to watch the game while I played with the kids. Carter was starting to get REALLY fussy so I fed him and he was still really pouty and DIRTY from eating. I decided to mess with Chris and put him in a Utes outfit Carter had outgrown and was at my mom's house. He went from grumpy to happy as soon as I got him dressed and ran downstairs where Chris was watching the game. I could hear Chris say "Hey! Get that off!" Needless to say, it was a sad day and the Utes lost. Just kidding, I don't really care either way and my kids can be fans of both, right?!

"Bucky"

Each week at Landon's school, a child gets to take the class "pet" Bucky home. They are supossed to take Bucky everywhere they go and then write in a journal what things they did together. Landon showed up at my work with Bucky, just estatic it was finally his turn! He took that stuffed gorilla everywhere and was SO sweet with him. While driving in the car I could hear him talking to Bucky like he coud hear him and they were best friends. Things like "What's that Bucky? Oh. Mom? I think Bucky is hungry." He made sure Bucky went everywhere that he went. He even took him to church! Landon took such good care of his little friend that it almost made me think about someday getting Landon a puppy...ALMOST! ;)

Weirdo

Landon is seriously the funnest kid. One day, I came home from the store nd asked Landon to bring a roll of toilet paper to mommy and daddys batheroom. I went to use the other restroom and while I was in there, Landon said I had to hurry and come see something REALLY funny that was waiting for me. He stood outside the door, very impatient. I came out and he was laughing and told me to go look in his bed. Then he said "The toilet paper is reading a book!!" I thought he was going to pee his pants because he was laughing so hard. Oh my gosh-he is such a weirdo!

Fun Hats

I might like these more than he kids do but seriously, how cute are these little boys in their little hats!

Finished Product

This is the quilt I made while camping in Heber. I did everything while camping except the trimming and snipping. The quilt is made from poleyster my Grandma Wagner had purchased but never got to use. It's kind of neat to have a piece of her in my living room. The colors are fun and I laugh whenever I look at it and think she bought them to make herself pants. Thanks to my Aunt Ellen and cousin Emily for helping me learn how to make these neat quilts.

Heber Valley

Towards the end of September, the boys and I headed to Heber for a little camping with the Wagner's! They have made this into a little tradition each year, this being their third. Landon was able to go last year so I was so excited to be able to take the time off and get some relaxing time with the family. There was about 25 of us and we all slept in there different cabins. We did a lot in just two short days like crafts, treasure hunt, hiking, robe course, mexican horse shoe tournament, yummy dinners, and sewing-yes, sewing! My Aunt Ellen brought my Grandma Wagners left over fabric to make rag quilt for charity. I learned how to make them and soon got to doing my very own that I got to take home. On the way home, we stopped at a little diner that had trains galore. We had such a blast and we can't wait to go back next year!
