Fall Fun

We've been busy since the last post so here's a quick update. We've spent days at the ball park while Carter played "Fall Ball" (baseball in the fall). His team won their league tournament and they were each given a hat (the one he's sporting in the picture) instead of a trophy. Now we're watching him play basketball on Thursdays and Saturdays. 

 We've been to the Bluebell Corn Maze which is always a highlight of the season.

We've carved pumpkins and made and decorated the traditional honey cookies. Terry tells us he doesn't "do" pumpkin carving, but this year Isaac's pumpkin was huge and he and I couldn't get the lid out once it was cut so we recruited Terry and then he stayed to scoop out the insides. 

Carter and his duet partner (and cousin) Jared recently played 2 piano duets and scored a superior! They worked for months to achieve this.

USU and DOPL

Two weeks ago we were in Logan getting ready to leave Kaitlynn on a new adventure.... college at USU. Yesterday she officially became a licensed Pharmacy technician!!! Her license hasn't arrived yet, but you can find it on the Utah DOPL site.

Peaches and More

I bought a box of peaches from Grand Junction and instead of canning them I decided to just have fun. I've made two different kinds of peach ice cream, peach pie and tomorrow I think it will be peach muffins. We've also enjoyed just slicing them and eating them with cream and/ or sugar. I've also been trying new recipes like Sweet and Sour Chicken, Banana Chip Muffins and two kinds of breadsticks. Some recipes we've liked better than others, but either way it's been fun in the kitchen trying new things. Hey, anything that makes the kitchen more fun is always good.
