The Witches came out Last Night







Last night was our annual Brinkerhoff Halloween Party. We made slime, ate eyeballs and fondled a dead body. This is my most favorite party of the whole year...and last night did not disappoint.

The Corn Maze










Every year, we go with my family to the Bluebell cornmaze. This is one tradition that we all look forward to. I really enjoy the drive over...all the colorful leaves. We had a picnic at the Bluebell park and then played and played at the courtyard at the maze. I am amazed at all the effort they put into that maze. It is absolutely the best thing around for families.

Choosing a Costume




Halloween is a VERY big deal at our house. And the best part is choosing the costume. While Maddie and Spencer get very excited...Brayden could care less. So here we are with the cousins posing the new attire. Jacob and Maddie were so excited to do the Batman thing. Don't they look cute? Making childhood memories is the best thing in the world.

St. George







Last weekend, all of my family traveled down to St. George where my sister Dynelle and her cute family lives. The occasion was the blessing of her new daughter, Audrey. St. George is absolute heaven in October...it makes you want to live there! We had so much fun! We went to the state park, Snow Canyon. We hiked, some repelled off the red rock and we played in the sand dunes. Brayden spotted a tortoise along the path we were hiking on....and it of course was the big hit of the day.

My bachelor brother Brett brought a girl with him from Logan. He looked quite smitten during the whole trip which thrilled us all. Her name is Jess.....and we all liked her lots and lots and lots.

This little trip was just what my family needed. Sometimes, you just need to get out of Vernal!
