October This & That

So here are a bunch of pictures from the month. You'll have to wait for official Halloween ones later.

Vaughn with his best bud, Thomas, at the ward party. Vaughn was nervous about the festivities until he found Thomas and the world was right again.

Lucy in bloom!

Vaughn showing off his and Dad's, mostly Dad's, hard work and mad pumpkin carving skills. Vaughn got to choose the shapes for the eyes and nose.


With this expression his hand could be in a cookie jar and not a pumpkin.

I'm a big help!

O.k. so Vaughn is NOT upset. This is the face he makes when he deems something as "heavy", even if he just pretends to be exerting himself and not really lifting at all.

Lucy loving the pumpkin patch as well...as she does with most everything in life so far. She is such a happy chill baby.

We went to the pumpkin patch with a great group of friends for FHE but we also saw Thomas and his family there. These boys are great.

Hhhmmm? How close should we get when we first see each other?

Bethany and Lucy. Bethany is a huge help with our kids on Sundays and always. She's got the touch.

Family Photo Op. Vaughn wanted to be right on Lucy and sometimes can not leave her alone. Hence the protective older brother.

Cousin Sophia and Lucy. Thanks Sophia for teaching her all the girl things she'll need to know about to make it.

My current calling is Dinner Specialist on the Enrichment committee. We have a great committee and boy I am learning a lot. We did a fall theme and emergency preparedness night so we had soups and we served them in wide mouth canning jars. The food table from our Enrichment night. I think everything turned out really well.

One of the tables in all of its fall glory.

Vaughn's first official hair cut. I had been trimming around the ears and neck but the curly mullet in the back finally had to go. He did great!
