Pumpkin days! We took the boys to a pumpkin patch in Riverton. They got to pick out their own pumpkins. Landen and Preston ran non-stop from one end of this enormous farm to the other. It was a great backdrop for some fun photos. Tanner found one that will look really cool carved up to look like a skeleton's head. Gavin went for sheer size and Landen and Preston chose 50 different pumpkins....one pumpkin at a time. It took a while, but they finally narrowed it down to one pumpkin each. We even snuck in a rare family photo! I just can't believe how big they are getting!

Tanner showing his "golden ticket" to gold belt stardom! He worked really hard for this and he is very proud of his bright new color! We look forward to many more colors from Tanner!

Tanner getting his gold belt. He loves karate and is quite good. He takes it very seriously and is moving right along with his skills! Go Tan Tan!!

Tanner and cousin Rhiannon putting a fly on the line....would this be the "big one"....alas, no. The fish were not biting this day. They were successful the day before and went home with some yummy fish and some fabulous fish stories!

Gavin fishing at Mirror Lake. He had a good time, but didn't catch much. It was August, but pretty cold up there already. Uncle John gave Gavin his fishing rod when he turned 9 years old and they go fishing every year.

Fishing in the high Uintah's with Dad and Uncle John. The annual fishing trip is something the boys look forward to every year. This is the first year that Landen and Preston got to go along. They loved being out on the canoe.

Hey!
It has been fun to see all of your comments on my blog.....I hate to admit this, but this could actually be fun! I have to figure out how to download more pictures...this is not so easy if you are me, just ask Bubba. She had to figure out what the heck I did when I set up my blog and then had it stuck somewhere in cyber-space. I guess all is well that ends well....right? I hope to get better at this and Gavin hopes I get a better picture of him on the blog....he says he looks drunk....whatever. Well, to all of those fellow-bloggers out there....cheers!

Preston is off to school

Preston's first day of preschool at Little Scholars Academy. This is the third year we have tried to have him attend preschool. He has always gotten sick and had too many hospitalizations to be in school. I guess they say that the "Third time is a charm!" We are hoping for this. He loves going to school. His teacher's name is Mrs. Cluff. Landen had her also and really loved her. Preston is so fun, he runs the whole way there with Gil. He sings great songs about everything from colors to numbers. He knows his letters and loves to write his name. He loves to write any word that people will spell for him.
