Halloween

We go see the witches at Gardner Village every year. This year my boys actually asked me to take them there before I even mentioned it. Tyson's favorite is the witch in the outhouse. It was sad but, they seem to be getting a bit old for this. They were very tolerant while we walked around, but I could tell they waiting for it to be time for the candy store. Oh well, at least it's an excuse to get yummy fudge.

They had fun at Grandma B's party. They got a kick out of the donuts hanging on a string.

These are our super scary pumpkins. Tyson really got into creating his pumpkin this year. He loved cleaning out the guts and designing his vampire face. The pumpkin guts grossed Hayden out, and he would barely touch them. The giant pumpkin came from Chad's sisters garden, it was so big I could hardly move it.

The boys dressed up as Harry Potter and a Bakugon trainer.

I made our traditional dinner of meatloaf with mashed potato ghosties and sweet potato pumpkins. Yummy.

Once again,way too much candy from trick or treating.

The Green Dragons

Tyson played soccer again this fall with the Green Dragons (formerly the Red Dragons). He really liked it that his dad helped coach the team. His favorite part is still getting treats at the end of the game.

The SLC Library

Every once in a while I just need to go downtown. We had never been to the big library (surprisingly) so we decided to go there. We took trax, and pretended we were on a trip. We explored the building, got snacks and headed to the top. It was unexpectedly beautiful. The boys had fun climbing the steps and just being outside on one of the last warm days of the season.

Hayden's Fall

Hayden is in third grade this year. Whenever I ask him how school was he shrugs and then tells me all about football at recess. I think he would play sports all day if he could.
He played flag football with a bunch of boys from his school. He absolutely loved it. It's fun to watch his face light up and for him to get excited about something.

This is a picture of Hayden's play. They ran it during every game. The center snapped him the ball and he ran around the side. He scored his first touchdown this year.

He also played soccer again. It's the same group of boys that played on his football team, so that made it fun. He just likes being part of a team.

He is getting involved in scouting with the ward boys. This picture is when he earned his bobcat award. It's fun to watch him grow up and become more independent.
