Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Yesterday we had a fun Halloween type of day! We headed to the pumpkin patch in Mesa and went on a hay ride and Austin was super fascinated with the tractor pulling us. He kept saying tractor over and over-it was really cute. He is wearing his overalls from Heather that he fits so well right now! He had on his cowboy boots and looked like a natural farmer. When we passed the animals he said, "cow moo moo, sheep baa baa, pig oink oink". Then he went in a huge bouncy house and thought that was super cool and kept running around in the hay pile. He got to pick out a pumpkin and last night we made dinner in a pumpking with meat, rice and yummy spices. Then we made homemade cookies and we all enjoyed eating a bunch of food and everyone slept hard!

Axel's blessing 10-10-10

The entire month of September Gayla and the boys were up in Utah for Tera's wedding on Labor Day weekend and Quin's wedding on the 25th. Tom was up there for both weddings but came back to hot AZ to work. It was a blast to see everyone but incredibly challenging to be away from home with such tiny kids. Loved it but will never do it again type of thing:) Gayla's family has been together so much lately and it has been so wonderful and tiring. Seven of the nine kids made it to Arizona for Axel's baby blessing on Sunday. Dad came too and is staying until Thursday and the kids are having so much fun with him! Tom is missing from the group picture because he was at the church for meetings and we forgot to take another one that day. Thank you Tom for being faithful to your church callings!
