Just a few updates to our family life

Not much has happened around our house lately. Besides try to get over colds and the flu. We are now just getting our strength back and enjoying the last couple of warm-ish days outside. I have started to play a little volleyball with a few people in our ward. I knew I was out of shape but come on- I can't even bare to sit down, my legs are so sore! But I am now 18 week pregnant so I guess that much is to be expected. Around the farm we are just trying to get the last of the crops in and the cornstalks hauled. They say summer is a busy time for farmers- but really I don't think it ever stops. If its not planting is farming and hauling, then putting every thing up that we planted for the year- after that its the dirtiest job yet... hauling the poop out into the fields. Then the process starts over again. We enjoy the time that we do get to spend with Randy out on the farm and in the tractor. Today we were driving to the church to play ball and Rustin starts yelling Cows mom cows.... So at least he knows one of the many animals out there. Lately his biggest thing is Bob the Builder. We almost cant go anywhere with out that movie, it puts him to sleep at night, entertains him during the day and usually that's all he wants. He will walk around the house saying bob the builder- can we fits it- i thing so. I also just randomly asked him what bob builds and he says, "a house mom" like duh you don't know.... Richard and Vickie are able to move into their new house- though they haven't quite done that yet. So far they watch TV and sometimes eat in there but still enjoy sleeping in their camper. I think the reason for that is she is making sure to get her decorations up and everything in first. We are going to spend this Thanksgiving with my family. We try to trade every other year but it gets a little hard with both families so close. We will probably spend most of the day at my parents house and then, after feeding the cows, we will probably go visit with Randy's family. It is also nice that they are both here so that we can see them both. I still haven't pulled my Christmas decorations out of the shed yet- but hopefully after thanksgiving Rustin and I will get to work and start getting it all out. Hopefully you all have a wonderful thanksgiving! And after Thanksgiving I am sure that I will have some great pictures for all of you to see.

Cousins

My sister came out to visit. She spent the day or two days up at my house just hanging out. I told rustin to give the girls loves and as you can see he gave them some kisses. Brook didnt know if she liked it or not.

Oh Bonk!

My little one loves to run around. He decided that it would be fun to run from mom instead of take a nap... so off he went. Almost as fast as he went I heard his cry. Poor boy ran right into the corner of our foot board on our bed. Usually when something like this happens he just says "Oh Bonk" but this one cut a little deeper.

On the Farm

Rustin kept on closing his eyes when I would try to take the picture. Finally I got one with his eyes opened!

Here's my cute little family... we are helping Randy feed the cows tonight

Isn't he handsome

I just thought I would get a snapshot of myself while I waited in the tractor for Randy and Rustin to come back.

Then We headed to town and went to the Trunk or Treat at the Stake Center....


















And last of all we went to mom and dads to show them our costumes and get some more candy!

Carving Pumpkin's

Carving our two pumpkin's only took an hour or two- and we had fun. I was the one that did most of the work considering... but hey aren't they great! Rustin really didn't like to put his hand inside the pumpkin so he became our good watcher. I had my sisters boys over for the day and so they were a huge help. In the end we all had a good time and they got to sit on our pourch for halloween. This is the first time that we have ever carved pumpkins and had them out for halloween.
