Paid in Potatoes

Wes came home from work the other day with this. A 50 lbs box of Idaho potatoes. Turns out he saw a patient who was a potato farmer from Idaho. He said he couldn't afford to pay for his visit with money so he paid with potatoes instead. The doctor got 100 lbs and Wes and another NP each got 50 lbs. I don't know what I'm going to do with 50 lbs of potatoes because about a month ago I bought a five pound bag and we still have about half. But, I must say, it's pretty cool that they let him pay in potatoes. It even says on his bill "Paid in Potatoes".

Happy Halloween!

The kid's Jack-O-Lanterns. Kaylee's started to rot-EEEWWW!

A Cowboy

All ready for Trick-or-Treating. It was an unusually warm Halloween this year. They didn't even need sweatshirts! I thought I was back in California (except that we didn't have to drive from one ward member's house to another).

MMMM, Tasty

The girls and I made Halloween treats. We puts sticks in marshmallows and on cookies and dipped them in melting candy. We had lots of fun but can you say "holy sugar rush". Try eating a candy covered marshmallow!

Fall Fun

Some fun pics of the kids playing in the leaves that Wes shook off the trees.

Jumprope Contest

On Friday Grandma, Jenny, and Kristy came over to see our property. We had a picnic at the park and a jump rope contest in the backyard. I think Kristy won. Of course, that's only because I couldn't participate due to my rapidly expanding belly. I got some pretty good video though, so enjoy!

Our Property

This is the view from our (soon to be our) property here in Mapleton. It's almost an acre, which we don't know what we're going to do with but are really excited about. It goes back to the fence.
The property from across the street. On the left side of the picture you can see where the sidewalk ends. That is where our property starts. The other side is out of the picture to the right. There is about a 12 foot high hill right at the front that should be fun to landscape and put a driveway up.
The view to the south.
View to the west. As you can see we are on top of a hill so we can see everything. Until they put a house there.
And, of course, cute Andrew waving.

Soccer

Kaylee played soccer in Mapleton this year. They play instructional soccer meaning they don't keep score. It's also 4 on 4 with no goalie. Kaylee liked playing although she didn't score any goals and didn't kick the ball more than a few times each game. She's just not as agressive as the other kids. But it was good exercise and she had fun.
She's number 4.
