This year’s pumpkin patch trip didn’t yield as many good photos as usual, but here they are, none the less.

I told him to say “girls”.
And this was his response to “girls”
MY girl
He never picks a normal pumpkin.
Cade and the beautiful sunset to end our day at the pumpkin patch.

If you look close you can see the brains coming out. 🙄
Libby’s is a bunny. Only two of the kids wanted to carve this year. 😢 Cade wants to paint his but hasn’t done it yet and Reagan wants to make a squirrel out of the little green pumpkins he brought home. We’ll see if either of them actually do it.

Fall Happenings

 We finally got around to camping the last weekend before school started.

Amazing Boise foothills thunderstorm
 First day of Junior year.  Yikes!
 First Day of Sophomore year
First day of 6th grade/middle school
 First day of 4th grade.  Only one left in elementary school 😦
 Day 2 Outift “I’m proud to be an Americorn” It’s all about unicorns now days/again.
Levi joined the cross country team.  Turns out, he is super fast!
 After his first race in almost 100 degrees.
So far Levi loves 6th grade.
He rides to school in a pack of about 10 boys, he ran for student council, losing gracefully, and just got his first customer in his raking business.
Big First! 
Reagan’s first dance. This is how he asked her:

hoco=homecoming, marigolds=her favorite flower
And this is how she answered him:
Homecoming 2019

Liberty tried something besides dance this year!  

 Conference Bingo, always a big part of the fall around our house.
 Cade got into the audition choir at school and this was his first concert and first time in a tux!
Cade told me before the concert that he would be using one of his “talents” in the concert. I thought it might be his Elmo impersonation or the piano.  Boy, was I wrong.  His choir sang “What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor” and at the very end, right on cue, my son, BURPED-as loudly as he possibly could.  He did not need a mic, we heard him in the very back of the auditorium. I was so shocked I just sat there with my mouth hanging open while the audience erupted with laughter.  I was torn between horror and humor, but he was pretty proud of himself, so in the end humor won out. 
And little Miss decided to be the only one of my children to take after her father….and get glasses.  She is over the moon about them!  She thinks it’s the greatest thing in the world.  Thank goodness!
