I cannot believe how easy it is to miss just one week of blogging and then before you know it, you are almost a month behind. To be honest, it is not like I have not been super busy, well WE ALL HAVE, so it has not been easy to find the time to share with you all.
Thanks to technology I have scrolled back in my Iphone camera to try and remember all we have been doing.
My very last post was our quick little jaunt down to St George and per the camera roll in my phone here is a bulleted list of all we have been up to.
- pulling all the edible and salvageable goodies out of our garden
- newly discovered Lucy video interviews
- getting in the Halloween spirit at Cornbellys
- Sunday hikes
- Carving pumpkins
- a family trip to Punta Mita
- Max and Daddy BYU football game
I will share a little blurb on each of these with you now.
Pulling all the edible and salvageable goodies out of our garden
 |
| Tomatoes, basil, and lots of herbs |

Our family garden was very plentiful this summer and as the fall has approached we have had to put sheets over the veggies (just the tomatoes) and we were able to extend the season. We picked enough basil that we have bags and bags of pesto and we also roasted tons of tomatoes and froze them along with the pesto. We are hoping for some gardeny goodness all winter long.

Getting in the Halloween spirit at Cornbellys

Here is a nice shot of Hailey and the kiddos all ready to go on the haunted hay ride. You have got to love that Lucy smile. Cornbellys is so awesome. Thanksgiving point has gotten better ever single year and has added all sorts of fun stuff for the kids, corn cannons, mazes, rock climbing, haunted stuff, games, food and much more.
Sunday hikes
 |
| These guys can be the best of friends or worst of enemies on any given day |
As fall has set in we have made a kind of Sunday tradition of driving up the canyon toward the Draper temple and we found a hiking trail off the side of the road and the kids have loved it. One week it was cold, cloudy and rainy but this past Sunday it was beautiful.
Carving pumpkins
We had a family home evening one monday at the Lovell's house and aunt Lisa did a family home evening lesson on the harmful effects of telling lies and Hailey and I brought pumpkins to have the kids carve. It was a really fun time and we took seeds home and cooked them up and they were all eaten up within the next day.

The highlight of October, at least as of now is our family and friends trip to beautiful Punta Mita Mexico. This is the same house we went to last Christmas with Grandpa and Grandma Kandell. We love it so much we went back and this time took two other families with us. We went with the Harris family and the Noble family. It was awesome to have so many kids to entertain each other and we parents had a blast too. The food was great, the house as comfortable and relaxing as always and we had great weather too. I feel like Punta Mita will be one of those destinations we will make a family traditional trip/vacation full of memories.
Max and Daddy BYU football game

Max and I went to the BYU vs Boise State game and had a great time. Here we are in the cougar store getting our gear on! Max loved that little ball we bought and we threw it and played catch under the stadium at half time and he thought that was the highlight as there were so many other "older" boys doing it too. He now wants to go back with his cousins Easton and Zach since they know how to play catch too.
Well as you can see October has been awesome so far and Halloween is right around the corner so we are very excited for that too.
