The unfortunate pumpkin

Our largest pumpkin was destroyed last night. We were pretty bummed when we saw it this morning. As we were getting ready for church Steven(3) came in and said "mommy Jesus should burn them"  I asked him who Jesus should burn and he said that He should burn the person that broke our pumpkin.  Natalie(5) piped up and said that we needed to let the person repent. I totally busted up laughing.  I guess they actually do listen during scripture time.  We were recently reading that Jesus would burn the wicked unless they repent. 

Later I heard them talking in the girls room and it was suggested that Uncle Jordan should bring his gun and guard the rest of the pumpkins.

Pumpkins!

This year we decided to grow giant pumpkins. They came in weighing 105 and 95 lbs.

The kids love their pumpkins!

Fall Carnival

The girl's school puts on a fall carnival every year.  This year the kids decided to get their faces painted.

Saturday Mornings!

Now that the weather is a little bit cooler we spend most of our Saturday outside working on the yard.

 I am not sure what Steven is going to do when we finally get some grass. 

 I think he is really going to miss the dirt.

Emma is getting so big.  She loves playing outside and trying to ride the girls bikes. 

 

Brigham City Temple

We took the kids to the Brigham City Temple open house.  They loved looking around the beautiful building.  I think that the kids favorite part was the baptismal font and of course the cookies :)

School!

I can't believe that Malaya is in 2nd grade and Natalie is in Kindergarten.  They are getting to big way to fast!

Washington!

Our annual summer trip to Washington this year was so much fun! The drive is almost always the hardest part.  This year it took us about 14 hours to drive there and about 15 on the way back.  The kids were great for the drive there...

... not so much on the way home...

 We spent most of the week at Aunt Jessica's house (farm).  The kids had a blast chasing chickens, riding ponies and playing outside. 

 Scott missed the smell of the ocean so we went down to the Mukilteo ferry and played at the beach while we waited.



Our last day with Aunt Jess and the cousins we went to Jetty Island.  The kids had a blast playing in the mud and in the ocean.
