Pumpkin Time

 Kurt and Shaileen grew some pumpkins in their garden and they generously gave two to us.  We decided that it was time to make them jack-o-lanterns.  The boys were really excited to get started.

DJ enjoyed getting out the pumpkin guts. On the other hand, Alex didn't like touching the stuff.  He hates getting his hands dirty.  He got a couple of seeds at the top out but that was it. 

Fall is a fun time of the year.

Powder Mountain Hike

 We went on a hike up Powder Mountain.  The leaves were changing colors and gorgeous!

 Again, this was during nap time, so during the first part of the hike Alex slept on my shoulder.

 We stopped to take a family photo during the hike.

 

The boys got tired and DJ loved riding on Daddy's shoulders.

 Alex took a turn on Daddy's shoulders too.

 For being 2 years old DJ hiked quite a bit of the way on his own.

 At the top we found a shack.

 Another family picture at the top of the mountain.  Grandpa E and us were the only ones to make it the whole way.

We had fun hiking and it was so great seeing all of the beautiful leaves changing color!
