The first snow fall, and boy are my boys excited.
We'll see how long Matthew likes to shovel snow.

Ryan told his dad how to carve his pumpkin.




Matthew drew and cut out his own pumpkin. Jeremy helped cut all the way through.


Jeremy's pumpkin is the "green" one.
Kids wore their costumes to a family story time at the library last night.




I had a nice birthday. Jeremy had the morning off and sent me out shopping alone.

October

Well, I have finally taken a few pictures, so I am updating our blog. We have done several fun things lately, but did I remember the camera, NO! We took Keira in the stroller (which was a little bit of a workout) and the boys, Jeremy and I hiked to the Y. It was a lot of fun and beautiful. I love the Fall. There was a tree that was bright red, and that is when I remembered I had forgotten the camera. Jeremy's residency has a family retreat each year. We stayed for a night in a lodge in Midway. They had a nice resident and spouse dinner. They provided a room with a movie and pizza for all the kids. The older kids and a few adults kept an eye on things. Once again I forgot my camera.

We went to a play at Hale Center Theatre with my family this weekend, and then Jeremy and I had tickets for the BYU homecoming game. We lost big, but I had a nice time. I haven't been to a BYU football game in 4-5 years. We are taking the boys to one in November.

Today is the first day I haven't had a fever. Lucky us, we got the H1N1. I have not been sick that bad in a long time. It felt like I had a cold, a sore throat, the flu, and the stomach bug all at once. It started with Matthew over conference weekend. Then Jeremy got it. Matthew was out of school a week, and Jeremy out of work for a day. We didn't know what we had, but by the time it was all over we are assuming it was H1N1. I got it a week after Matthew, and then Ryan and Keira got it a little. Although, Ryan kept saying, "I not sick." It has taken me 2 1/2 weeks to completely get over it. The cough and a small fever just keep hanging on.

We are all better, and the kids are really excited for Halloween. We carved pumpkins last night. It was extra fun because we grew them in our garden.
