PuMPkIn PatCH

It's a tradition to go visit this darling little family farm pumpkin patch in Draper. Felix and I headed out a few weeks ago to pick out some orange beauties. He had the best time pulling the wagons up and down the hills. We grew THREE of our own pumpkins this year (photo proof to come) but we had to get way more for the front porch. We have been busy decorating the front porch and house with all the Halloween decor. Felix is going nuts with excitement! He loves "punkees" (pumpkins), witches, ghosts and bats. He walks around the house and fake screams at all the spooky things. It's so much fun this year. It will be loads of fun next year when I have another little pumpkin around the house! Baby Robinson is due to arrive 3/27/11!!!
p.s. doctor thinks it's a girl!!!!

End of Summer

It's funny how during September and the first part of October you kind of get 2 seasons. You have the changing colors in the canyons and cooler temps, yet in the city it still feels like summer. We took advantage and did a lot of swimming while the weather has been so warm. My mom cranked up the heat in the pool and it feels wonderful getting into the water. It's like a giant bathtub. We don't have it heated like in the summer, so it's really a special treat to have it so warm. September also brings many birthdays, last minute bbq's and drives up the canyon to view the leaves. This particular picture was up near Midway. It was so gorgeous! October is my favorite month so we have been busy spooking out the house, pumpkin picking and baking with all the local produce we have been getting at the farmers market or growing ourselves. Happy October!
