The Hunt 2008

Cody and Dan got a Northern Utah tag this year, so they headed north for their hunt.
When they finally got a good sight, Dan had Cody go, while Dan held back, but in Cody's rush to shoot he forgot to take the safety off. Dan thought that they might lose their chance so he took aim while Cody readied again. Cody got a shot in but Dan got the kill. Dan feels real bad and still calls it Cody's.
They went out the next weekend to a more easterly part of the state and had no views whatsoever. It was chalked up to good bonding time and a learning experience.

Hollows Eve

All the kids love to design their pumkins, they get more creative every year.







Levi really got into this Holloween this year so of course I did too. It was fun to let him kind of create and get excited about decorating the porch and yard.

hay ride!

It would of been a sleigh ride if we had gone last weekend, (it snowed), but this day was soooo nice, just perfect for going to search for pumkins and play at the pumpkin patch and at the red barn. If anyone has not taken the short drive to Santaquin's South Ridge Farms, they are missing out. There are so many yummy foods, like ice-cream (the best), apples, tomatoes, dried fruits- especially their tart cherries, kettle corn, pies, doughnuts,cider, nuts, jellies and syrups, salt, crafts, cookbooks and more. I love that place.


We had a lot of fun taking a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, taking silly pictures and finding just the right pumkin. The Rowleys are such a sweet family that has run Southridge farms for many generations. We had a lot of fun.

canyon pics 08

These pictures were ok if you are wanting some entertainment, it was even more entertaining to be there but we won't go into those details.
Anyway, None of the ones taken with the digital camera turned out, which are the ones here. I took some with my other camera that should be much better,
Levi and Sophia refused to either smile or look at the camera, there just was too much to explore in the canyon. But all the kids were very cute.
