Spooktacular!

I love the fact that Halloween is on a Saturday this year. Gramps and Nana were able to spend the day with us which meant Gramps could carve the pumpkin, something I am not good at. Gramps can carve about any shape within reason, of course. Austin's job was to clean out the guts. By the look on his face you can tell that he is not enjoying pulling out the pumpkin's slimy insides.

One thing Austin did enjoy was pushing out the shapes Gramps had cut to make our pumpkin's face scary!

Austin dressed as a Nerf Tag Dude and I dressed Haidyn as a pumpkin. It is the same outfit I put Austin in on his first Halloween.

Idaho Falls Pumpkin Patch

Mom and I took Haidyn and Austin to the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon. It was a great autumn afternoon. The sun was out and it was farely warm for October. There were large piles of pumpkins everywhere. I really liked the white pumpkins and stopped to take a picture of Haidyn with some of the smaller variety.

Austin enjoyed the maze the owners had made out of large haybales. He ran through the course several times and then began jumping off of the large haystacks. It took some convincing for him to jump by himself, but after the first time jumping he had no fear.

Mission Call

My parents were at my house in Preston today when my brother called to tell them that there was a letter from the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the mail. We quickly headed to Idaho Falls and gathered everyone together so Mom and Dad could open their call. They have been called to the Canada, Vancouver, BC mission. They will enter the MTC on December 7th and will serve for a period of 18 months. This should be interesting. My parents will be in Vancouver for the Olympics and for the dedication of the Vancouver Temple. I can't wait to visit. I was a child the last and only time I was in Vancouver. Good luck Mom and Dad.

Great Grandparents

Haidyn met her great grandparents for the first time this weekend. (L to R: Kenneth and Dorothy Chase and Lucille Searle) Grandpa Chase really likes babies and was so excited to finally hold his great granddaughter.
