Fun at Stahelie's Farm in S.T. George

 

 

 

 

Preston(my nephew) was doing a fund raiser for his school in S.T.George. They were selling family passes to Staheli's farm. The pass included pizza and drinks. We went with the Creager family and my parents. Megan and Coral(my nieces) also were with my parents. The kids had a blast. We rode on a trailer with hay out to the corn maze, saw pig races, and let the kids play on all the equipment. They rode on the swinging horses, swung on tire ropes, rode in wagons, and climbed hay stacks. It had been raining a few day before, and their was mud everywhere. All the kids had to take off their shoes before getting in the car to go home! Getting the mud off the shoes was not as much fun!

Pumpkin Patch at the Ag Farm

 

 

 

 

The local agriculture farm in Overton had over 2,000 pumpkins this year. Both Elementary schools in the valley chartered a bus, and took all students to the farm. While at the farm they chose their own pumpkin, wrote their name on it, and had a worker cut it off the vine for them to take home. The farm also donated ice-cream to each school. Steve brought Austin and Alexa over to go on the field trip with my class. It just so happened that Derek was at the farm with his class the same time my class was there. Alexa decided to pick her nose during the picture, and Austin was asleep so this was the best picture we could come up with.

Boys Night Out with Dad

 

 

 

 

Steve took off work to go with Conner on one of his scout over night camp outs. Long story short, the camp out got postponed to another weekend. Since Steve had already taken the night off, he decided to take the 3 older boys on a camp out to Red Rock. He invited his brother(and his two boy) and our brother in law. They build a huge fire and roasted marshmallows for smores. They also went hiking and told stories late into the evening. They had a great time!

 

 

Derek's Football Birthday Party

 

 

 

 

A few days after Derek's actual birthday, he had a friends football party at the park. His cousin Mason came down from S.T. George, and over 20 other friends came to the party. They played skins against shirts the entire two hours of the party. They all seemed to have a great time!

Derek's Birthday!

 

 

 

 

Derek turned 10 years old on October 13th. We surprised him that morning by keeping him home from school, so that he could go target shooting with Steve and his Grandpa Terry. They took some pumpkins out for target practice, and according to the pictures, Derek did quite well! Around noon, Steve took Derek out for some lunch and then dropped him off at school with cookies for his 4th grade class. Derek thought this was a great Birthday present!

Austin's first haircut

 

 

 

 

I went outside last Sunday to find Austin had climbed up on top of the kids play table. He was screaming for someone to get him down. I noticed how long his hair had gotten, so I suggested to Steve that we cut his hair. Steve loves Austin's natural curl, and was reluctant to cut it. I commented that it would be nice to even out his hair since he has a lot on the sides, but not as much on top. Giving Austin a sucker resulted in a very easy haircut. He looks like a new child with his buzzed hair. This is one of the new church outfits he got for his birthday. Isn't he cute?
