Peachy

I'm not sure why, but I always get a little giddy when I look in our fruit room! It was a busy season in our kitchen to say the least, but we are happy with the "fruits of our labors!"

Applesauce

Peaches

Salsa




Pickles

Beets

Tomatoe Juice

Apple Pie filling (my new favorite thing to bottle)

Pumpkin Pickin'

Peter Peter Pumkin Eater.......would have loved this patch.....

Who knew that tucked away in little Elsinore was a pumpkin lovers' dream?!...

It takes great skills to pick the perfect carving pumpkin!

A Hay Bale ride is always an added bonus while choosing the perfect pumpkin.

I thought this little broken down chicken coop made the perfect back-drop for a family photo. Too bad we weren't dressed up!

We can't forget the baby punkin'

Or the more robust "bumkin"

Our pumpkin pickin' adventure just wouldn't have been complete without a tractor-pulled train ride!

Pumpkin Pickin' & FAMILY

We spent another fun weekend in Richfield. The boys loved picking their own pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch. The train ride was a plus! Nathan begged to ride the pent-a-wheel...and I caved under pressure!

I thought I would just lightly push us and go slow...but Sterling had other plans and gave us a BIG push. I panicked and thought Nathan was going to fall out of his seat-belt, and Nathan just panicked! We recovered from the ride with an ice cream cone from Ideal Dairy! Logan wasn't going anywhere near the pent-a-wheel! Big hugs were needed after such a scary ride! We also took a ride up to Monrovian park for some famiy photos! We LOVED collecting so many pretty leaves!

Couldn't pass up a chance to get a Christmas card worthy picture!

And....Best news of all! Congrats to these two love-birds! My sister Megan found a great guy and is getting married in December! Love you guys!
