five little pumpkins

we have had a very interesting week! we got home from our visit to arizona on monday and had an awesome trip other than a small accident on our way to the airport in salt lake city. (more stories and pictures to come from the big trip.) anyways.....bobby came home with the flu and has been sick in bed all week long. luckily he is finally starting to kick it and only has a sore throat left. no worries avid readers....we went to the doctor and confirmed that there is NO SWINE FLU in our house! :)

but with bobby being sick and me taking tests, catching up on homework and trying my hardest not to get sick....we havent had a very fun week. so today we decided to welcome fall into our home since we really hadnt done that yet. we broke out the pumpkin spice candle and got our hands dirty.......carving pumpkins!!

b-rays super scary pumpkin :)

my pumpkin was a little sillier...

the finished products!

to finish off our fall fun day we are going to make some yummy apple crisp tonight! yum yum yum! and to finish off this post i've been thinking about my favorite halloween song that my mom taught me when i was little all day... love you mom!

five little pumpkins

5 little pumpkins sitting on a gate, the 1st one said, "oh my its getting late!"
the 2nd one said,"there are witches in the air."
the 3rd one said, "well we dont care!"
the 4th one said, "lets run and run and run."
the 5th one said, "we're gonna have some fun!"
then ooooh went the wind....and out went the lights! and 5 little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

gonna soak up the sun

we are off to sun and fun tomorrow as we get to head down to arizona for the weekend for my brother spencers missionary farwell. what a bittersweet trip this is going to be! we are so excited for the fun, sun, and family but it will be hard to see my little brother go! pictures and loads of tears soon to come i'm sure!

you look like a monkey and you smell like one too!

on 10/10/09 b-ray turned the big 23!!! we had the best day celebrating and we even splurged and went to the movies and went bowling which we haven't done in forever! when we were dating we used to go bowling all the time and make bets on who would win for ben and jerry's ice cream and other such treats. it was way fun to relive a little bit of our dating days!
