Pumpkins, pumpkins, everywhere...

For years, I have wanted to have a child at Halloween time.  In the past I have loved walking into stores and seeing all the adorable costumes and halloween goodies.  All I needed was a cute little one to share in the fun with me.  Well, my time has finally come!  I also have always wanted to get pictures in a pumpkin patch.  So this year, Brennan and I took Ella to Wheeler Farm to take some pictures.  She absolutely loved being put on the dirt ground free to roam.  She loved the straw, the pumpkins, the dirt... she just loved the whole experience.  We took a few pictures.  You see, I have this frame and I really want to put a pumpkin patch picture in it.  But I am having a hard time deciding which one is the best.  So I need your help.  Which one do you like best?  Please help me decide...

Crocodile Hunter

As many of you are aware of, and if your not, Brennan was very fond of the late Steve Erwin, a.k.a The Crocodile Hunter.  He wished during high school that he could do all the fun and exciting adventures the Steve Erwin did.  We even went and saw the movie.   Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to swim the swamps looking for crocs, or picking up the worlds deadliest snakes yet...  However, he has a daughter that took up his desires for croc hunting and lizard eating.  She is a natural at it.   Now Bren just has to teach her how to eat and survive on these creatures like Bear Grylls.

      She's not scared

Fall, the best time of Year!




I absolutely love the fall!  It is honestly the best time of the year.  The weather is warm, but not too hot.  You can wear a sweatshirt and capris, or long pants and a shirt.  And the leaves... need I say more?  The chill in the air at night, football season...(Go Utes! #14), being able to be outside during the day and not sweat, Halloween, my husband's birthday, and our anniversary.  What a great time of the year it is in Utah.

This past Monday for Family Home Evening, Bren and I decided to go up Big Cottonwood Canyon to look at the beautiful leaves.  Brennan went mountain biking a few weeks ago, and he said the leaves were nice then.  Well, the leaves were even prettier this past week.  If you live in Utah, I suggest you take a drive up one of the canyons.  It's amazing!
