Fall Fun

Today was my day off and Hayden and I did a lot of fun things. First we went to the Peterson’s Pumpkin Patch and picked out 4 pumpkins.  We shopped for a haunted mask for Zac. Zac is in the Letham’s Herriman Haunts spook ally again this year. We found a really gross one that he just loved!

We also headed over to the Up House too. It’s way cute inside. I can’t imagine living there, but I’d love to visit whoever does. It just has a fun atmosphere about it.

Later we carved those pumpkins with family and friends. What a great fall day!

Mountain Color

This is a picture from us coming down the canyon on Sunday. I didn’t take a single picture today and am still really love the fall colors, so I thought I’d post this one.  Have I told you that I love Fall?!?!

Things They Are A Changin'

I love it when the leaves change! I’ve noticed it happening in my own backyard and you can see colors all over the mountains too. I love the fall!!  It’s one of my favorite times of year. It’s such a pretty time of year. I love that it's cold in the morning and at night but warm during the day. Now only if we could go back to summer after the fall. I think that would be perfect!!  Spring, Summer, Fall, Summer.

Strawberry Plants

One of the photo challenges this month was to walk out your front door and take a picture of whatever caught your eye. Today it was the strawberry plants. Look how much they’ve filled in. They are doing so well. We tried to so hard to follow the advice we read online. “How to get big strawberries.” I plucked off all the little blossoms and missed out on any fruit this year. Next year I think we’re supposed to do that too the shooters that are coming out everywhere now. That will be tricky determining which is new growth and which is the older growth, but I want to have big strawberries so I will have to do it.

It’s funny how the leaves are turning colors because of the fall and it’s tricking me. I keep thinking oh my goodness, we have a huge strawberry out there. Nope it’s just a leaf. LOL :)

Fall Soccer in Swing

I had to snag this picture of Hayden sorta taking a nap here at soccer practice. He just wasn't into it today. We had been there about 5 minutes and he told me he had to pee. Oh great! This park doesn't have a restroom. He then proceeded to tell me that he was hungry. Then, with all the pleading this boy could muster, he said, "Mom, I just wanna go home."  So, this mom, with all she could muster, explained to him that he was the one that told me (over and over again, I might add) that yes, he did want to play soccer again this year. That even though he complained he really likes soccer and he assured me that he wanted to do it again. So, even though he didn't feel like it today, I knew deep down he really likes it and knew that he could make it for another half an hour at this practice.

That's all it took. I didn't hear one more plea from him. Somehow, even though he had to go to the bathroom and was starving, he persevered and made it through the rest of his practice. He even got to play soccer with another team there, which he seemed THRILLED about.

Hayden teaches me how to be happy all the time. LO♥E this little guy so much! I'm his biggest fan!!
