Some people have asked that I put a pic of my picture wall in my basement up, so here it is. Nothing special. I bought the rod set, vase and wreath from At Home America, through my friend Sara who is a demonstrator for them. I mad the colorful frames, and bought the white ones at Rod Works in Utah. I only wish I had somewhere better to put hang it other than my basement, but it looks cute there too.
Last Saturday night our family got together and carved pumpkins. It was a lot of fun this year because we did it at my parents house, so no mess at my house! Also This year Tara and Zach participated as well. Tyler wasn't sure what to think about the gooey pumpkin, but soon he figured out that it was pretty fun to throw around (yuck). We wanted Gavin to join in the fun so we tried to fit him in a pumpkin. I know kinda mean , but it would have made a great picture if we had been able to get the camera to work before he started crying. Tyler thought this looked like fun, but was mad when he realized he couldn't fit inside the pumpkin. Here are a few pics of the pumpkins we carved. Mom and Dad did not use patterns, but the rest of us did. You can be the judge and pick your favorite!

Tyler having fun after carving. He wouldn't get dressed, but he is stylin' in Grandma's reading glasses (upside down of course)!
We took the boys to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. My mom came with us and we went to Deanna Rose Farmstead, which is where we went last year too. Tyler loves the animals and it's free, so double bonus for us! It was super crowded since it was Saturday, so we ended up skipping the pumpkin patch and hayride in the end. We decided to go to lunch and hit a local church that had a small and much less crowded patch of pumpkins. Here are a few pics of the day. Tyler, Gavin and I were not feeling too great so needless to say, none of the pictures turned out very well. 
We went to Union Station last week when my Grandparents were in town. It was a lot of fun. We were able to see them begining to put up the huge holiday model train town. We also took Tyler to Science City, which is a childrens science museum in Union Sation. It was pretty interesting for adults too. I'm always glad when relatives come to visit because it gives me a reason to see all to sites and attractions around town. Plus we love spending time with our family!
