Changing Of Seasons

This week is beginning to feel more like FaLL. Then again it is mid October so I guess I'm ready. It seems like we will have a few warm days still and then a cold day that catches us off guard. It does take a little longer the get out the door as I grab a jacket for each child and more appropriate shoes for their little feet. But today I started my Baked Apple Pie Scentsy and am ready to embrace the upcoming season changes, plus I'm ready to give mowing the lawn a break for a while. Here are some of the things that we have been up to lately:

Mckay got a Smoker for his birthday, so most weekends since then he has been quite the chef at our house. It takes a long time for the meat to cook this way, so he has to do it on the weekends where he has time to stay at home and watch it. Some of the things he has tried so far...

Turkey Legs

Ribs (our Favorite so far)

"Pop can" chicken, among others including cheese, sausages, fish, and chicken. Yeah for me getting a break from some of the recent cooking!

I have been in the mood to do a few projects. My ward recently did a Super Saturday so I finished a few crafts there. And we began painting our Master Bathroom. It is kind of hard to see but it is all in greens and browns and I love having some more color in the house.

The Before

We have been CHEERing Payton on as he plays soccer. It has been fun to see how much he has improved since the first week. GO PAYTON!!! (He is #5)

The kids have been growing up even more. Taylor now loves to sit up at the counter like his siblings.

We have also been enjoying what good weather days are left. We had a preschool field trip to the Pumpkin Patch/Linder Farms today and the kids all had a great time.

We played in corn.

Made it through the straw maze.

Played in BIG Tires.

Pet different animals and went on a hay ride to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out our own Pumpkins.

And have been loving every minute of it!!
