Hello Fall!

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love to decorate, and read books to the kids and go on hay rides and look at pumpkins. This year all my decorations are in storage. But I wasn't going to let that get me down. So I ordered a few new Halloween books (since all the ones I have are, you guessed it, in storage) and found a few decorations and we had a "spooky reading night" for Family night. We turned off all the lights and lit some candles and took turns reading Halloween stories. The kids loved it. I want to do it again. I  might have to go to the library and find some more Halloween books. 

 Careful Coleman that's real fire!

 We also went fishing at Panguitch Lake last week. It was fun. Mom and Dad came with their boat. We started out a little rocky when Ben fell into the Lake and went completely under. It's a good thing we live close. We had a fire on the beach and ate hobo dinners.  They only caught one fish and it was small so no fish this time, but still a good time.

Coleman is looking off wishing that someday he will get a turn on the boat. He did have a good time. He is such a happy baby.

Random - I made this wreath. It's small, but cute!

More random - I couldn't help but take Caleb's picture today. He is such a handsome boy. He is just getting ready to leave for preschool. He loves it there.

Grandma gave me her bread recipe so I decided to try it out. It's still a work in progress. While I was kneading the dough Coleman got into the flour. He was really happy and having a fun time until I put the lid on the bucket. I guess he liked to eat the flour plain. Why bother with making bread? I should just give him a bucket of flour to eat.

 Caleb's preschool went on a field trip nature walk. I went with the class to help out. We had a fun time. It's amazing all the cool nature you see when you are actually looking. The kids even found a birds' nest.

 Here is Caleb with his sack trying to find some rocks

 Back at school to get a drink of water and make our nature collage

 Caleb dumped his bag out. His teacher put glue on his paper and they glued everything they found on the paper. I don't know if it will all stay. Some of the kids had pretty big rocks. Some of them every found some apples. Even if they don't all stick to the paper they had a lot fun creating!

Iron County Fair Parade

We had a great time at this years parade. The kids got so much candy. And I got to see the band. (YesIwasabandgeek)

Caleb got a frisbee. With those big eyes who resist? Tyler got an SUU shirt. With those glasses he looks so smart and ready for collage.

After the parade we went to the fair to eat and look at the exhibits. It was crowded, but fun. The parade brings back such good memories!
