Pumpkin Patch 2017

Fun day with Meema and the three Littles. Look!

Carousel fun!

Feeding the goats 

Ammon adores trains. “Mom, that’s me on the train car!”

 
Thanks, mom! Without you, I never seem to get my rear end in gear to go do things like this!

Halloween

Major mom fail. I didn’t get pictures before the Trunk or Treat. I got a few Halloween shots, but because Nephi went out with his friend, and Gloria did not repeat her ghoulish pale faced, extra wide-mouthed, expertly rendered make-up job, I never got a good shot of that or Nephi’s awesome wolf ears and tail that Grandma Eve created from an old stuffed bunny. Snap. While Sophi, Vilate, Hyrum and Nephi were out with friends, and Gideon and Ammon went out trick-or-treating with my mom, David, Grandma, broken-armed Helaman, Gloria and I enjoyed popcorn, sushi (just me on this), an extra large bag of chocolate favorites, and a great Thriller, Knowing with Nicholas Cage, on the Projector. It was a really great night for everyone in their different places.

Nephi had an awesome time with his friends:

I put up some decorations and candles on the mantle, which made the movie that much more cozy and festive for those of us at home 😊:

The beautiful part was that Hyrum drives now, so after he had his fun he could pick up Nephi and his sisters, while Daddy and I snuggled on the couch and munched popcorn 👍.

And look what fun the little ones had with Meema:

Not a great view of Gideon the monarch butterfly’s majestic wings, but doesn’t Ammon make a handsome train driver?

And I did get a couple of costume shots the morning after the Trunk or Treat, of those who’d crashed in their costumes the night before:

CUTIES!! 😍😍😍

But I’m still salty about not getting a picture of ghoulish Gloria 😞💀👻.

I love all these wonderful people in my life!

Hyrum's Spring Formal!

Hyrum had a wonderful time at his Spring Formal! Just look!

Aren't they adorable?! My mom made her corsage, they had a fine dinner, and then tore up the floor to a live swing band!

John Adams Academy put on a classy event! The best part? Hyrum and Britt are still dancing together and getting awesomer all the time!
