Recap

I had every intention of playing catch-up, and doing individual blog posts for all the things I want to remember from over the summer. But that is just not going to happen. Since I hate being behind, I am just going to do a quick recap, and then be up to date.

In June, Craig's brother got married (now they're all married--so much fun!)

Here are some cute pictures that were taken while we were all dressed up.

In August we went to Lake Powell.

All the brothers and their spouses! :)

The amazing Hogwarts sandcastle.

Then we spent a few weeks visiting family, back in my hometown. The boys were spoiled, as usual. We got to see my nieces sell their pigs, go to the fair, parade...lots of fun small town activities!

In October we went on a day hike one Saturday. It turned out to be a lot longer than we thought (6 miles round trip) but Scamper walked almost the entire way! He only wanted to ride on my shoulders for a few minutes every now and then. What a trooper!

We actually went up north just before Halloween this year, because the Hubby's paternal grandfather passed away. We wanted to be there for the funeral, which was on Halloween. He was a great man, and he lived a full life! I am so grateful we were able to be there to celebrate his life with all of our family.

We were able to spend Halloween night with all of the Hubby's brothers, so the boy's only cousin was there too. He is the cute little lion! We made homemade root beer here.

Trick-or-treating (I forgot my camera, so these couple of pictures are from my sister-in-law)

Fireman!

This year we kept the tradition of painting a pumpkin.

And carving pumpkins.

And, finally, we went to a local corn maze and pumpkin patch. We could have stayed a lot longer if it didn't get dark. They had animals to see/feed, a huge corn maze, small hay mazes, pedal go-carts, bounce houses, a train ride, and a few other small things. I do love this season!

Phew! I hope you made it through. Now I am officially caught up and will try and keep it that way (I know, good luck, huh?)
