Kyle's First trip to Utah/Pre-Halloween Activities

We stayed at Chris and Anne's house this trip because there was no room at Hotel Humphreys with Cody living there, Calley back from Washington and Julia and her family there as well.  The kids had Thursday and Friday off from school for Nevada day.  Connor did not go because he wanted to stay and help grandpa do some carpets jobs.  Caleb had his play Wednesday afternoon so we left Thursday around 1pm.  It took all morning to get out the door.  We stopped in St. George to get gas and food at Wendy's and feed Kyle.  We were there about an hour and then we were able to get to almost Nephi before Kyle started fussing.  I got in the backseat with him and just kept his binkie in his mouth until we got to Grandma Penny's.  Everyone was up there having dinner and cake for Uncle Chris' birthday.  Grandma made enchiladas and a double layer jack-0-lantern cake for Chris like he has had every year for as long as I can remember.  We stayed up there for a little while visiting and letting everyone see the new cuzzies-Kyle and Cameron.  On Friday, Don had a lunch meeting and Chris and Anne had doctor appointments so me and the boys just hung out at Chris' house.  On Saturday Caleb and Cayden and I went to a few party stores looking for costumes and then Don took Caleb and Cody to get some sushi that they brought back to share at Chris' house. 

 

We dressed Cameron and Kyle up in their twinner pumpkin costumes and then  we went to the pumpkin patch which is really just a greenhouse at a nursery off Geneva Road.  We picked out pumpkins for all of us and then we went over to the Water Conservancy District where they had a pumpkin walk; lots of carved and decorated pumpkins lined up for everyone to walk by.  They also had a few kids games and donuts for those who wore costumes. After that we went up to Grandma Penny's to carve pumpkins and have a yummy dinner of potato cheese soup and cheese toast.  The pumpkin carving took most of the evening and Don's neck and shoulders were killing him by the time we got done.  Cayden wanted a Tigger pumpkin, Caleb did an Ironman pumpkin, Cody made a face thing and I plugged some Woody, Buzz and Elmo  pieces into 3 other pumpkins. Ryan  made a cool Batman symbol, Anne made Snow White, Su made a ghost in the woods, Chris made Cinderella and there was a few more that I can't remember now what they were.  Mawmaw held the babies as did Abby and Owie and Cayden.  Owie sang I am a Child of God to the babies too.  It was so cute.

 

Then we had fun dressing up the babies.  Chris and I went to Target on Saturday night and bought a BYU onesie for Kyle and and Cougar pillow pet for Kyle and a Utes Pillow Pet for Cameron.   We took pictures Sunday morning of the rivalry.  Kyle slept through most of the picture taking and Cameron cried.  After the photo shoot we loaded up the car and headed back to Logandale.  Kyle did pretty good on the way home too.  We made it to St. George again and stopped to feed him and change him and then proceeded home.
