Conference, Pumpkins and a Birthday

 Daisy and I have been doing a little "school" together.  "Little" being the key word here.  :)  I'm not on top of things as I used to be.  She will be going to preschool NEXT YEAR.  I can't believe it. 

 Those eyes are killer.

So, rewinding time way back to General Conference weekend:

 Our awesome neighbors once again brought a big bag of activities for the kids (see the brown paper bags on the fireplace?  Each bag has a separate activity for each speaker - brilliant).  My kids LOVE conference because of this (not going to church on a Sunday may be a close topper).  Oh, and please take notice of my festive fireplace.  Take notice because I'm often too lazy to be festive.  I have a real problem.  My kids begging and begging since the beginning of September helps kick me out of my easy chair.

On General Conference Sunday we enjoyed time with family:

 Cousins + farm = a perfect day

My kids were so excited to go pick their pumpkins out of our very own patch:

 My goal is to grow pumpkins big enough that we can carve, and enough for at least one per kid.  This year it was a success!  It isn't always.

Must always have a silly picture:

Just kids being cute:

We enjoyed celebrating Nick's 27th birthday (again).  He wanted to take the kids to a movie.  We saw "Kubo and the Two Strings".  It was really cool and different from anything else we had seen.  We also took a drive up to Kamas to Hi Mountain Drug, a new favorite of ours.

Shakes for the win!

The 3 year old, being 3, of course:

She wouldn't even come up off the floor for ice cream.  Weird.

 Carrot cake.  Yummy yummy yum yum.

That reminds me, I still have left over cream cheese frosting in the fridge.  Hmmm...

I love my honey bun.  I'm so glad he was born.

side note:  In real life, Nick and I are quite boring and call each other by our first names, or sometimes by the title of "mom" or "dad".  We do not call each other cheesy sweetie names.  I don't know why I think it's so funny to do so online.  One of my many quirks.  Just wanted you to know in case you judge us a couple of cheeseballs.
