Fall Happenings!

Everything lately kind of falls under fall happenings. But, now, I need to do some catching up, so here are the fall happenings that have happened lately.

We walked on the parkway trail up Hobble Creek Canyon.





We had to rig up a leash so both the boys could walk Ruby. They were fighting over the leash, and we didn't bring an extra-- silly us-- so we used the lanyard from our keys.



A not so fun happening, the other day I walked out to find this animal skin on our lawn. I still don't know where it came from. It could have just been a scout thing. I didn't look to closely, but the tissue beneath the fur still looked moist, so I kind of wasn't sure if it was just a piece of a scouting object.



Last Saturday, we went to a friends birthday party.



It was Baby M's nap time.



And, guess what? He got Thomas! I didn't know if the twins were going to be able to accept that the train didn't belong to them.



Last Wednesday, we went up to Gardener Village to see the Witches. I'm glad my cousin invited us to go because I love to see the witches, but I didn't know if I was going to ever get it in gear enough to get up there.



We enjoyed ourselves even though the twins ran everywhere, Baby M thought he should be able to run everywhere,-- and not be strapped in the stroller-- the twins both ended up with bloody lips and it was a little crowded.








I tried to point out to Big H that they were playing baseball-- he really likes baseball. He didn't seem to care, but later he looked at the photos with me and saw this picture and said, "Baseball!
"


We got suckers to see if that would stop the fits. That were mostly coming from Baby M.



I caught them holding hands!


After we took in all the witches we went to McDonalds where two boys got stuck in the play place-- one had to be talked down and the other was pulled out by another mother who was paying more attention then me. And Baby M had to insist on pulling everyone's shoes out of the shoe keep.

On Friday, we too the boys to see the temple. I realized we had never really taken them. We may pointed it out as we drove by, but we haven't walked around the temple with them. It was a fun family outing.





Tonight we enjoyed a trip to The Red Barn out in Santaquin. We took a hay ride to there pumpkin patch, bought the boys some gourds and enjoyed some of their famous ice cream.








We also met another couple with three girls-- twins and a baby. The baby was 19 months younger than the twin girls. Which is close to how far apart Baby M is from the twins. We enjoyed chatting with them.



To end the post, my first attempt at white chocolate covered candy corn marshmallows. I stole the idea from a friend. I think she called them candy corn dippers.

December 28, 2009: Another Trip to Garndner Village

This time we went to see the Elves. Since we were completely broke, and tired we didn't stay for very long.

October 13, 2009: Witches at Gardner Village



On Tuesday the boys and I met Craig up at Gardner Village for our traditional Halloween visit. We decided to go during the day, and before it got too crowded, but unfortunately we picked a day that was windy and stormy. Everyone still enjoyed themselves though.





We, of course, visited the candy store. I got a giant peanut butter cup and Craig got a caramel apple. Then we walked around and took some pictures with the witches.







The boys started to get hungry so we headed to Archibald's Restaurant to feed them. Apparently they don't allow strollers in there, so we had to park ours outside. We fed the boys and got some food for ourselves.



After dinner, we headed to the Christmas Store to get out of the rain. This is my favorite store! We picked up some "Baby's first Christmas" ornaments for the boys, and bought a few other decorations that were on clearance.





The best part of this trip was that we finally wore my nephew out and he slept for the whole drive home. ;)
