Halloween 2020

On October 2nd, I found out I was pregnant! I shared the news right away with Dan, but we kept it secret from everyone else until Halloween! We told the kids by giving them each a pumpkin with their name on it and then adding pumpkin #4. It took them a minute to realize what it said, but were thrilled with the news!

We went to spend Halloween with the whole fam at Mindy's house. I took pictures of everyone in their costumes, then while Sandee was taking pictures of us, I said I forgot something and pulled out the pumpkin. Mindy was the first to notice and screamed in excitement! Then Sandee caught on too. No one else was outside to witness it so I just showed the pumpkin to everyone else. They were all so surprised and excited! Such fun news to share!

Daniels 36th birthday

That morning, the girls and I took Mindy out for her birthday. We went to lunch at a yummy bakery. It was good! Jack had the biggest blow out ever though so that stunk!

For Dan's birthday, we kept it pretty low key. He worked, then we went to dinner with the kids, opened presents and then I took him on a golfing date. It was fun to golf with him even though I am terrible. We had a good time. He didn't get much on his birthday because he bought himself some really expensive binoculars for hunting. Dan is 36 years young!

Deer Hunt Camping

Dan was really excited to go hunting this year. He did a lot of scouting with Tony, Jason and Justin. They would get up at 3:30 in the morning to get up on the mountain to look for deer. They were very confident that they found a good spot to hunt when the time came. A day before the hunt started, we came up and camped with them. We found a spot up Payson Canyon to set up the trailer and Tony and Emily set theirs up too. IT WAS FREEZING. I do not like camping when it's cold and I was being a big baby. The kids had a blast though and played constantly with their cousins. Dan carved them some cool swords that they played with. We went on rides, ate yummy food, had good convos and we made the best of it, but I was glad to go home. Dan and the boys stayed of course and went hunting fo the next 2 days. Unfortunately not one of them shot a deer. I felt bad for him cuz of how much time he put into it. 

Gardner Village

My mom and sisters met up at Gardner Village for a little girls day. We took the kids to the petting zoo first where they could feed and pet the animals. Lincoln got a little bucket of feed and fed the alpacas, sheep and horses. He loved it! Jack was a little nervous. But Jack really loved petting the bunnies and he liked the goats. He said, "bye goats. see you later!" Then we ate lunch and did some shopping. It was so fun to be with the girls and for the cousins to play!

Glen Rays Pumpkin Patch

We went to a new pumpkin patch in Benjamin and it was awesome! Practically no one was there. We went for Benson's 2nd birthday. I took a few pictures of him in the pumpkin patch and then we went and did the corn maze. The kids kept trying to scare us. The kids explored the giant hay hill, the slides, the corn pit, the cow train, the petting zoo, and the little games they had around. Jack LOVED the cow train and kept asking to go on it. He also loved the huge slide and kept going on it again and again. Lincoln and Luke had a blast together as well as Annie and Lucy. It's always so fun to see them play with their cousins! After Tony and Emily brought apple cider and licorice. Yum! It was fun to hang out with them and Kaylee and Adam. Until next year!
