Annual Harvest (Pumpkin) Party

It's that time of year.......the garden is getting put to bed. 

Oh my !
What a tiny pumpkin :)!!

We all gathered in the garden.  The day was sunny and warm.
It was time to harvest the SQUASH and PUMPKINS

SO MUCH FUN !

Pays had his snippers, and was going to town.  Snipping the pumpkins off the vines.
It's best to use the snippers, so you have a good stem. 

We had such good helpers !
Thanks to all who came.  Sure wish our Arizona family could be here too.
Bexlee is in the car sleeping, and Kacey is keeping watch on her. 

Time for dinner !
Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, rolls, and yummy apple cake with caramel sauce and whipped cream. 

Sleepyhead is waking up :)

This sweet girl was most excited of all.
PUMPKINS PUMPKINS EVERYWHERE !!!

MY GUYS :)

ALL the BIG GUYS
Dad, Rog, Zac, Lando, Treyson and Tagg
See any chests puffing out?  Everyone is STANDING TALL - who is the tallest?

WHAT !?!??!
Crazy girl wrote WITH PEN on her arm

Watching funny videos on CJ's phone
I can't remember what she was showing........

These two went UP TOP to play with the bungee cords.

Funny Story - Bright asked Grandma Ben about the wrinkles on her face........then proceeded to tell her she was so old she might die.............then reassured her that it  would be okay, because then she could see Grandpa Ben. 
KIDS ARE TOO FUNNY !! (and honest !)

Our girlies, playing with the tiny pumpkins (their favorite) 

Loving on MOM

Quite the little decorator, huh? 

And they've made a TRAP !?!?!
For what, I don't know :)

Picking out the pumpkins to take home.
LOAD UP THE CARS !!

Almost put to bed - good job done. 

Love our Life - Love our Family

Do we look like we are sitting in a boat on the river?
HAHA  - we are not.  We are standing on the Welch Ditch Dam, taking a selfie.
Looking South - to our rear is the backed up East Canyon Creek.
I was glad that Roger was such a good sport, and even SMILED !!

My beautiful cucumber plant that has provided me POUNDS and POUNDS of cucumbers, which I've made into my cucumber salad over and over again.  I'm hoping I get another picking before they are gone. 

#44  - Treyson, still playing football.
His last game is this Saturday.  Unfortunately they have lost too many games to make it into the playoffs. 

This is up in North Logan, can't remember the name of the new high school, but it's a NICE ONE.
Look at that beautiful TURF field, which surprisingly, isn't as fun to play on as you would think. It is HOT and HARD. 

Me and Bright, and Grandpa in the background. 

After Treyson's football game in North Logan, we traveled down to SOUTH Salt Lake (South Jordan), to watch Pays play some baseball.  

It was a lovely time, relaxing under the shade.  The girls play so nicely, and it's enjoyable for the most part. 

Bright even found some dirt, which they proceeded to turn into a mud puddle :)

Bexlee just walks around, minding her own business. 

Petting Lola :)

There's our boy (with the mitt) 

After the game with Dad (Landon) 

THEN..........after a day of football and baseball, we went to Nathan and Jaidyn's wedding reception at the Cross E Ranch in North Salt Lake/Woods Cross.  It was pretty neat !

Had to take a picture of this - hoping Zac and Rog can make a playground for our goats (haha) 

Look at the man with the machete !
We got all of the corn taken out from the garden.  Made a few bundles for decoration, and fed the remainder to the goats  and Miss Piggy (stalks)  and chickens (ears)

Crazy brother - now you see Treyson.............

........now you DON'T !!!!!!!

Helping Dad (Zac) with the new lawnmower

CJ had surgery, so I took over some dinner one night.  A favorite, grilled cheese and tomato soup!!

Went to the temple with LuAnn, Georgia, and Sharlene
Was able to print out my own name right from my phone app.  Pretty amazing.  

The frost in on the Punkin'.................
So we will be taking them out soon at our annual Pumpkin Gathering Party. 

This is Tagg's football float at homecoming
I can't see which one is him though.
My phone died by the time Treyson came along :(

Foggy morning in Morgan

All the cabbages harvested from the garden.  The biggest one on the scale weighed 20 pounds.  It was bigger than a basketball.  We got them all delivered. 

Zac and CJ took a "General" ride up Hardscrabble with the boys.
Notice Thatcher sitting on the new seat the Zac built. 

Somebody is going in the CREEK!!!!

And you will never guess in 1 million years who has taken up KNITTING !?!?!?!?!

And Painting !?!?!?!?!?!

Any guesses?
Manda and Bren, that's who !!
