Carving pumkins

KaeLynn's very own pumpkin. I tried to carve a puppy but it didn't turn out. Now I am not sure what it is, but it is a carved pumpkin and that is all that matters.

Here is mom's pumpkin right next to hers. Mine is just a silly Halloween face.And yes this is Cavan's pumpkin. You are not being deceived... This is truly a butt crack pumpkin. For all our family who truly knows Cavan, knows that he has a weired thing with butts. For all of our friends who just now found this out, I am sorry.


KaeLynn wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin guts. Silly girl, sometimes I wonder about her :)

Hood River 2009

This Saturday we went back to Hood River to enjoy another year of fall festivities. It was an absolutely perfect day. The weather, our family, the food, and the smells (food and fresh air :) all made the day so perfect.Here is a picture of our precious pumpkins (including the kids)!She was very interested in the dirt on the pumpkin.

There were so many good pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. This year KaeLynn could actually play in the patch. Last year she was only a little over a month old and didn't do much.Oh yes bring on the cider... This is fresh squeezed apple cider made right there. They literally squeeze the apples with a machine put in the jug and hand it to you! Yum Yum!KaeLynn and her cousin found some cool tractors to play on.

Here is KaeLynn on the hay ride. She was such a good girl and we had so much fun together as a family! I can't wait to go again next year.

Family Photos 2009

We just had our family pictures taken at a really nice park in Hillsborro. The setting was perfect if only it didn't rain! It was pouring with thunder and lightning! Yikes. We finally found a undercover spot where we took most of our pictures. They still turned out great and I am very happy with them.

On Wednesday morning my mom left to drive back to her home town, Brunswick Georgia. It was very sudden, but needed. She is starting a new chapter in her life and is going back to school. I will miss her terribly, but I know that this is the time that she wants to spend with her mother and find herself. The Sunday before she left I took my mother to the temple tours that were going on and it was a beautiful day! The weather could not have been more perfect. I also learned a lot of fun facts about the temple. After the tour my mom and I sat by the water on the temple grounds and talked. I learned a lot about her that I didn't know. It was definitely a great memory of my mom and I. I'm so excited for her and I can't wait until I can see her again. Good Luck MOM!
