Pumpkin Carving!!

On Tuesday we took the kids to pick pumpkins at a pumpkin stand over by Meadow. They had lots of fun picking out their pumpkins, even though there weren't many good ones left.

Then last night we had Dallas, Mckell and their kids over for dinner and pumpkin carving. The kids got tired of carving fast so we only got 2 pumpkins done, but we had lots of fun.

The girls enjoyed gutting the pumpkins.

Brogan on the other hand didn't want to touch it too bad he started by picking out the pumpkin seeds one by one.

Then with a little help by dad he decided it wasn't too bad.

Tanlie chose a ghost holding a glitter chain, this is her painting the chain on.

Brogan chose a dinosaur

The end results!!

Deer Hunt

This year I drew out for a southern deer tag, so we went to Pangutich and hunted the whole week. Brandon and I took my 88 year old grandpa hunting with us, even though it was cold and bumpy he had so much fun. I am so glad that we were able to take him. I ended up shooting a deer right before dark one night, there were 3 or 4 deer together and I thought that I had shot the pretty good size 4 point. It got too dark to go find it so we went back the next morning, and this is what we found. Oops, I guess that I shot the wrong one. Oh well I guess is will make some good jerky!! My sister Missy went with us and on the way back to town she shot a pretty good 2 point. We had a good time hunting and Brandon was pretty patient with me. ( For those of you that don't know he takes hunting pretty serious.)

Grandpa Henrie all bundled up

While hunting one morning we got a terrible phone call that informed us that my cousin Hutch had been killed in a car accident. I still can't believe that he is gone, he will be missed so much in our family. He leaves behind his beautiful wife who is 2 months pregnant. His family has been through so much they have lost their sister, mom and now brother in 7 years. My heart aches for them. We went to Hutch's funeral on Friday and decided to stay the whole weekend. (Thanks for having us Wayne and Jess.) We went to Thanksgiving point and just hung out and played games at Wayne and Jessica's house. They had close to 30 people staying at their house it was so much fun just to be around all the family.

We love you and will miss you Hutch!!!

A Fun Weekend!!

Last weekend we decided to go to St. George because Tanlie was out of school on Friday. We had such a great time. Most of my family was down there because Panguitch was playing in the 1A state baseball tournament. (For those of you that don't know, my brother-in-law is the coach.) It was fun to watch the baseball games and they ended up taking 2ND place. We stayed with Ginger the whole weekend and had so much fun. We took the kids to hike the crack one night, they had a great time climbing on the red rocks. We also took the kids to Staheli Farms. They loved looking at the animals, riding the cow train, the pumpkin patch, and just playing on all of the other fun stuff that they had there. Thanks for the great weekend Ginger!

Fun on the Farm

The Cow Train!

Brogan and Quincy love each other so much, they have so much fun playing together. Every year they have been the same thing for Halloween, so while we were together we had to get their pictures in their cute dragon costumes! I am so glad that my kids are so close to their cousins, I am so blessed to have such a great family!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROGAN!!!

Brogan turned 3 last Saturday. We celebrated his birthday in Pangutich because Chet and Alicia blessed their baby on Sunday. On Friday night Brandon took Brogan to the lake to go fishing with Grandpa Rex. They stayed at the cabin and had lots of fun. On Saturday Brogan had a fun birthday party at Grandma Hatch's house with all of his cousins. We played some games, decorated hats and of course ate. He got lots of presents and loved all of them. The whole weekend was lots of fun, the kids didn't want to come home. Thanks everybody for helping with the party, and my kids over the weekend. I wasn't much help because I ended up getting strep throat for the second time in 3 weeks. Its a good thing Ginger was there to take care of me, she is the best sister ever.

Brogan chose cars for his party this year!All the kids with their hats that they decorated.
