Great Pumpkin Festival

We love the city we live in! Every holiday they always conduct some fun event that children can participate in and that they love. This years Great Pumpkin Festival was much like the last. They had simple carnival games to play (this is also a fund raiser for the local high schools cheerleading squad), hot dogs to eat, Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin Movie, and at the end a Pumpkin Seed hunt (think Easter Egg Hunt in the dark). Last year we weren't prepared, but this year we broke out the head lamp and looked like pro Pumpkin Seed Hunters (we will be starting our own show on Discovery Channel soon).


We were able to go with our neighbors and Tony had a great time because he had a buddy there to play with


Our little Ducky Teagan was there too!


And as always, the kids came out the winners with MORE Halloween Candy.

Our Cancun Trip


Recently Marco had to go to Cancun for work. I was able to tag along and enjoy our first trip to Cancun. The weather wasn't the best, in fact we think there were hurricane force winds, but Cancun is gorgeous even during a storm! Overall a beautiful trip, but we had our fair share of "events"!


This was the view from our room!



And these were the beaches

Pumpkin patch fun


For the last few years we've picked going to a pumpkin patch instead of just picking them up at the grocery store. So, this year we kept the tradition and were able to take Teagan for the first time. He loved the new experience and Tony loved being the big brother in the event. We picked up a pumpkin for each of the family members and carved them afterward.

Millcreek Canyon


Every year we love to go up Millcreek Canyon during the fall to snap pictures of our family and the foliage. Last year we got our family picture there, and it turned out amazing. This year we went a bit late, but it gave us great pics of the boys playing in the leaves.







We were also able to get some pictures of the colored leaves that were just stunning!

Los Muchachos



If you cannot see their shirts, they are wearing their Guatemala from Mami Chaguita! We love these photos because Teagan looks so grown up for some reason, enjoy.




And then some fun random pics of our two monkeys!
