Pumpkins

On Saturday, Jacob and Serene were in town, and they got to come with us to go get our pumpkins. Last year, we got pumpkins with Aaron, this year with Jacob - I think next year might be Benjamin's turn. We decided to go to Day Farms, a farm in West Layton. Our tickets included a hayride out the pumpkin patch at the far end of the farm and then a pumpkin for each of us. Matthew loved being at the pumpkin patch - there were "balls" everywhere. Then tonight, Mark and I carved the pumpkins while Matthew watched. Then we surprised my grandparents with a BYU pumpkin and some cookies. To give credit where credit is do, Jacob is the one who thought of carving a "Y" on a pumpkin for grandpa, but we decided that train game was more important that pumpkin carving last night.

Snow!

This past week, we got our first major snow of the year. I'm not sure that Matthew really remembers what snow is. I bundled him all up to go outside, but we don't have any mittens for him. I'll have to go buy some. I tried using some socks instead, but those did not last long. Matthew was slightly intrigued by the snow, but once he learned it was cold to the touch, he lost interest quickly. We did go on a walk on the snow covered sidewalks, which he rather enjoyed. That is, until he fell one to many times and his hands got too cold. It was a fun novelty to have the snow for a day or so, but I'm glad we will be back in the '60s this week.

"Ball"

Matthew learned to say "Ball". Though, it's not as easy to hear on this video.

I think this photo is hilarious.
