Nonstop Fall Fun!!!

I realize I need to update more ofter so I don't have such a picture overload each time. but I had to give my Disneyland post enough time to sit in all of it's glory. and I'm so excited that someone finally taught me how to do the picture collage. it's so much easier and my pictures download so much faster. so if you haven't figured it our yet I'm telling you it's so worth it.

anyways, we have been doing all kinds of fun fall activities this past week. Last week we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. The kids had such a good time. it was so fun for them to get to pick out which ever pumpkin they wanted. Bailee wanted to get the biggest one she could find. but Ryan talked her into a not so huge one so that we could carve it.
you'll have to look for our picture in the Deseret news. They were there the same time we were doing a story and they took some pictures of our kids. you'll have to tell me if you see our picture. UPDATE: Here is the link in the Des News to the picture slideshow,l you can hear us talking in the background, just listen for my soothing voice. We're mostly in the last 30 seconds or so.

I think we are planning on carving them on Monday for family night so I'll have to show you the finished product.

On Friday we dressed the kids up in their Halloween costumes and took them to see Grandma Swensen. The kids love to go and see her and it's hard for her to get out so we figured with the UEA break it would be a perfect day to go. she's such a sweet person and I love when my kids get to spend time with her and get to know her.
Tyson has been so funny about his costume. He doesn't want to look too scary, and he's so worried that the green won't wash off of his face. Last week I gave him a green air head and he started to bawl because he was worried it was going to turn his toung green. I think he's a little more calm about the green make-up now that he's seen it wash off. oh and another funny thing he said, I told him he was wearing green make-up and he got all concerned that he was wearing make-up so I told him not to worry it was boy make-up. so he started to tell evryone that he was wearing boy lipstick.

WE aslo went to see my grandma Mac but I didn't get any pictures I was in such a rush.

after visiting the great grandma's we went down to the scarcrow festivle with Ryan's mom and Dillon. it was a lot of fun. I had no idea how big it was. there were all sorts of rides and games for the kids to play.



Last but not least...on Saturday we went and met our Swensen cousins down in Provo. it was so fun to see them and their kids, and to have them all play together. It's probably been a couple of years since we've seen them all so it was fun to catch up.
