Up in South Jordan

We moved and arrived safely in South Jordan just in time for fall and going to the pumpkin patch. Things have been much more quiet around here without the older boys. I am trying to look for the positive things with this new living arrangement. So far, there are many days that I am missing them like crazy. I just keep thinking this is temporary. Here are some of the things we did since we have been back in Utah. We took K and C to the pumpkin patch. Here is K with her daddy and her pumpkin. Here is C with his pumpkin. He said he needed a bigger pumpkin then K because he is bigger then she is.

Here we are on the hay ride. Daddy did not want to go, so he took pictures instead. It was so fun for K and C, they thought it was cool that the tractor pulled the hay wagon all around the pumpkin patch.

We also arrived just in time for the first snow. We got about an inch that stuck to the ground. I had forgotten how pretty things look in the morning right after the snow has fallen. Daddy did not take the trampoline down in time for the first snow, but hit was so nice right after this that we left it up for 2 more weeks.

We have such a fun backyard. The kids love the play set and are outside for as long as they are allowed. It has not been too cold other then these two snow days so they have played for hours.

We went to the church for a Halloween party. They had chili and soup and cornbread contests. We got to try some really good recipes and some interesting ones also. We had so many people come and introduce themselves, I was a bit overwhelmed with the numbers of people that came. I did very well though and did not have to leave to catch my breath. The kids had a pinata to hit and C loved it!

K was a ladybug and C was a SWAT member. I did not have to buy costumes this year. It was so awesome. I save some money with that.

Here is K with her pumpkin of candy after the Trunk or treat out a Tammy's house (Blaine's sister).

Here are the little one just before going out to houses for more candy.

Here is the huge amount of candy that the kids got. I did not buy candy this year. I gave out pretzels and fruit snacks. This was the container that the pretzels came it. I just had 2 kids going trick or treating this year and still ended up with a ton of candy!

Here is a photo of our back yard today. It is snowing again. K and I have been sitting in front of the window watching the snow fall. She thinks it is so pretty. C is at school and loving his new class. He had a 5 week break between fall break in AZ and being off track when we got to UT. He is in a tiny class of 15 kids. His teacher is super cute and very organized. She loves C so I am happy. I am loving my job at the Riverton Hospital working with moms and babies again. I love going to work every day and am so thankful for the opportunity to work there. I am still not thrilled with the cold weather up here, but having a husband home and a job I love makes it worth it!
