Pumpkin Patch and Jack-O-Lanterns

Jackson's Preschool went to the pumpkin patch last week and had a great time. John went and took Jacee because she did not have school that day. Jackson is sitting in front of the wagon with his best friend Jaxson Smyer. They sure love each other and are usually connected at the hip the entire time at preschool.



We really missed being with our family in Utah for the annual pumpkin carving party - so we had our own! We invited two families over and had a great time. One family was pretty up-to-date but the other one was astounded at the "technology" of the pumkin kits. (They were still using the good old steak knives - really!)

Their 11 yo son just kept gushing how pumpkin carving would never be the same and this was the best Halloween ever! The parents also commented that it was much more enjoyable this way. Both families loved the cinnamon on pumpkin lid (idea by Gary Petersen).

We love getting to know new families in Burley but sure miss our family traditions in Utah.

Happy almost Halloween everybody!

I can't believe how big your kids are getting! Looks and sounds like you guys are doing well in Burley. I mean, it's Burley, how can you not have a great time! Although we miss Utah too. We love the warm weather in Mesa, but Utah is still home. Have a happy Halloween!

So much fun! Makes me sad to think the girls won't be there next year for your pumpkin carving party... Can't wait for the Halloween pics of your little ones!
