New York trip in a nut shell

I can't believe so much time has gone by and I haven't even posted about New York. Jane and I got to go to New York October 15th through the 18th to visit our friends Paul and Andrea Boerem. Despite Jane getting sick and it being really cold, we had such a fantastic time. We love Paul and Andrea so much. They were so nice to let us come stay with them and be our personal tour guides of the city. Jane had so much fun playing with their two cats. I am going to try to tell you about all the fun things we did without writing twenty pages. So here we go.

Pumpkins, Pumpkins and more Pumpkins

We love pumpkins. For family night one night in October, we went to Matt's patch to pick the pumpkins and bring them home. It was so much fun. The kids were so excited. Our car was loaded to the max. I sat in the back seat with Jane and Eli because there were pumpkins in the front seat. After the pumpkins were all loaded we went to this supper cut ice cream shop that just opened in Ogden called Burch Creek Mercantile. It reminds me of the Cottage, a candy shop that used to be in Bountiful when I was a kid. Everything about it is cute and old looking. Matt did such a awesome job with his patch this year. Thanks for all the fun Matt.

Hooray For Photos

I was so excited to pick up my photos today. Hayle Miller did these for me. I love her style. I am so happy with the way they turned out. What a cute family. They were all such good sports when we did these photos. Matt was so awesome to haul the church bench to an orchard in Kaysville. Thanks family for being so wonderful.
