ok so this is almost the last post about all things pumpkins, i promise! :) we have had a ton of fun lately. first the pumpkin patch, then we had a pumpkin carving party. as always, i will share some of my most fav pics. we went to the great pumpkin patch in hayden with all of nate's family. we rode the covered wagon, picked pumpkins, all the kids but lucas rode a pony (he got on one but i made nate take him off, he was screaming bloody murder... so i collected my $4 back! overpriced much? geez!) and then we had a picnic. we went early before it got too crowded, and hot! what a great choice that was!!
the boys 
our fam at the pumpkin patch! 
it's become a tradition to have a pumpkin carving party at my parents house each year. it was storming like crazy tuesday, so we weren't sure if we would be able to have our party outside. but luckily, the rain held off til we were finished and home. the adults carved pumpkins, a few were just photographers (ahem... me) and the kids ran around mostly, but occasionally played with the pumpkin guts and made "pumpkin soup!" 
i did pretend to carve for a few photos anyway :) 
and here are the finished products. we have some super talented pumpkin carvers, if you ask me. trace is so obsessed with the bumblebee transformer right now. hence his costume. and pointing out every yellow truck or suv he sees and yelling "i see a bumblebee car!" and going bananas when we see jets in the sky and the line they've made in the clouds. apparently uncle josh told trace those were transformers and that they live in our world?!? :o) anywho. so naturally trace wanted nate to carve him a bumblebee pumpkin. so that's what he did. :o) 
the rest of the jack-o-lanterns 
they all looked so good lit up. see??? 
and last, the pumpkin carvers and their pieces of art. if you can't tell, starting from the far left is: poppi (my dad), josh, grandaddy (nate's dad) shannon, rachel, d, and of course, nate! 
next up: halloween. and it can't come soon enough for me. i'm just about ready for these festivities to be over. i know i was all about fall a few weeks ago, but hearing "is tonite when we go trick-or-treating" gets old after the 497th time! :o)
