Pumpkin Carving

We finally got around to carving out pumpkins. Rory was so nice to empty them all out.

 

 

Family portrait.

 

I call this one 'Rory with Murder in his Eyes'.

 

The finished products. Rory's is the Tardis from Doctor Who.

Nap Time

Teeny loves her naps. So do I. Sometimes I get bored though.

 

 

Today I wandered around with my camera.

 

Until...

Spirit and Pumpkins

Saturday was the spirit parade for BYU homecoming! BYU got smoked by Oregon State. Rory's secretly happy. Shhhh.

 

We could see snow in the mountains on our walk to the parade!

 

 

I'm impressed she could sleep through this.

 

It didn't last long.

 

After the parade we went to the pumpkin patch.

 

Madelyn wanted this one but seeing as how we couldn't actually lift it we got her to settle for something smaller.

A Baby, a Duck, and an Uncle

Madelyn and I took a walk to the duck pond the other day. She was pretty interested in those ducks.

 

 

This duck was hanging around hoping for a hand out but I gave it the stink eye and it waddled off.

 

That evening we got to go watch Uncle Pete play soccer.

 

Good game good game good game

Free Labor

This weekend we all packed up and went out to Rory's research site in Rush Valley. I helped out and Madelyn was cute. I used to get paid to do this. Now I talk gibberish and work for free. That sounds like the definition of crazy to me.

 

 

The wildlife.

 

Desert sunset

 

I'm so glad she didn't pee on the school's truck!

 

We got her this little bunting. She loves it and so do I. It's so soft and makes cuddling that much better.

 

Rory getting the pump ready.

 

Watering the desert. Crazy.

Y Mountain

Saturday we hiked Y Mountain with Kipp and Kathleen. Not just the Y, the whole mountain. It's a little over 10 miles round trip.

 

This is Kathleen finding out Rory's text said we'll be done about 1.... not done in one hour.

 

 

The maples were all turning a glorious red.

 

Not quite to the top but still a great view.

 

Checking out the view from the real top. How can so many people live in such a small space?

 

Before we headed down we took a wiggle/food/diaper change break in a nice shady maple stand. Madelyn loved it.

Addicts to Athletes

Britt and I ran a 5K this morning for addicts. I don't actually know anyone with an addiction... unless you count chapstick. But it was a nice run.

 

 

See! There we are! Right there!
