Autumn

Pumpkin smoothie from Jamba, pumpkin bagels from Einstein, pumpkin cheesecake icecream, pumpkin pie...I've tried pumpkin everything and LOVE it! Not sure if its pregnancy or just that it really is that good.

Mark has been biz-e this month so Siri and I have had a lot of time to spend together...

going to the cabin with Grandma Carol

going to St.George with Grandma Sandy and Uncle Bill.
Siri loves her Uncle Bill and we got to see Sandy do her first triathlon!

I made grape jelly. This is a pic of my hands after I had washed them.
It is taystee though! So good on a toasted PB&J.

We went to the Barnyard Boo at Thankgiving Point (face painting, wagon ride, goo making, animals to see) and a pumpkin festival in Draper at Farnsworth Farms (hello apple cider donuts :)

We made molasses cookies. The smell it gives your house is priceless, all gingercloveyumlike.

We found a turtle outside our backdoor. We think it was a water turtle. He hung around for a day but wandered off somewhere.

We slept over at Grandma Carol's house. Siri got to help feed the horses.

Siri swam in Grandma's giant tub

And tonight we had a family Halloween party at LizDanSam's. Good times.

We also signed up for a few months of MyGym and got a basic pass to Dimple Dell rec center. Bring on the cold weather!
Lately Siri has been much more aware of when she's wet, poopy, etc and makes me change her diaper a lot more. I need to buckle down and take a try at potty training, so if you have any advice, please PLEASE share.
Today I picked the last of the harvest before everything freezes in the upcoming days. I have bowls of tomatoes, a bowl of raspberries, and still have 5 pumpkins I need to go pick.

It was a perfect autumn day today.
