Past Halloween Pictures

I was decorating for Halloween and I came acrossed last years Halloween pictures.

I thought they would be fun to post.

This week has been pretty busy. I have been canning all week.

I started canning apple pie filling, tomatoes, and apricot jam. I still have pears and grape juice that I need to can next week. I never really canned before I moved to Vernal, but we have apple trees, apricot, pear and a grape vine growing in our yard.

Fall

School has started and Shaylee started the first grade.
I was so sad when I dropped her off to school, but she was so excited.
She loves school and her teacher. Taylor asked me after we dropped Shaylee off "when do we pick Shaylee back up? I said in about 7 hours."
So when we got home from dropping Shaylee off Taylor said, "is it time to go get her now?"
I said, "no we just dropped her off!" It was so funny!
She couldn't understand that she had to wait all day.

She now has been riding her bike everyday with Kassidy to school. It was raining on Thursday and she still wanted to ride her bike. I am really proud of her , she is really starting to learn how to read. We have to read with her every night for twenty minutes.

Taylor was bored the first day of School, but she is adjusting well. She started preschool last Tuesday and that really helped. I along with two other moms are teaching preschool together. We each take a week and teach a letter. We had allot of fun this week and the kids really enjoyed it.

The Jackson Hole Trip

Jackson Hole Trip

We were excited to go on a vacation this year. Grandma Jane was able to go with us on our trip, it was alot of fun. We were able to Take a ferry across Jenny Lake and hike up to Hidden Falls Water Fall it was beautiful. It was such a beautiful day and the girls did awesome on the hike.

We went on a fun horse and Wagon ride up into Cache creek . Shaylee was able to help guide the horses in our wagon. Indians rode out of the trees and played like they were attacking our wagons, but the cowboys were able to run them off. The girls thought that was really neat!



We also were able to see a Moose and her Calf and get her picture up close .

We were able to go to Yellowstone National Park and see Old Faithful. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to drive up there and then Taylor threw a fit so Mat took her to the Car and she fell asleep so neither of them were able to see Old Faithful go off. But Shaylee thought it was really neat.

But My mom asked them what there favorite part of the whole trip was and they said swimming in the Hotel Swimming pool was there favorite.

Mat and I took Shaylee and Taylor to a play at the Playhouse Theatre in Jackson called the Ballet of Cat Bellou. I was really impressed with them and how they really watched and sat still.

We had a lot of fun. Mat said that are vacation next year will be right here in Vernal. We'll take the kids down and let them swim in Vernal's Hotel and stay a day or two.
