Furry Spiders

This is this weeks' craft. Taylor made furry spiders with cupcakes. The recipie called for black licorice strings which are nowere to be found in Utah so me improvisied and used orange pipe cleaners. We used chocolate sprinkle for the fur and M&M's for their eyes. Taylor gave spiders to all of her neighbor friends.

Pickin' Pumpkins

Taylor and Jackson picked their pumpkins during our visit to Cornbellies. Taylor picked pumpkins for the family according to what the pumpkin looked like compared to who it was for. I got to pick the cutest pumpkin from the patch. Jackson was such a good sport with all of the poses I would put him in.

Cornbellies Corn Maze

Another halloween tradition is to visit Thanksgiving Point"s Cornbellies Festival. We always get lost in the maze, eat scones and other fattening foods, and pick our pumpkins from the patch. It was very cold and we thought that it would be too cold for Jack, but her had a wonderful time. He loved the Hay Ride and the Honey butter from the scones.

Halloween Crafts

This was a new tradition I wanted to start for Halloween. I had planned on doing a Halloween craft each week, but with my recent hospitalization that was knid of put on hold. Taylor made spiders with Ritz crackers, peanut butter, raisins for the eyes and straight pretzel sticks for the legs. All of my friends at work helped me find cute recipies for us. Thanks Guys

Timpanogos Cave Hike

We tooj Taylor on a hike to Timpanogos Cave this Fall. She is a very out doorsy person and loves to explore new places. She was not prepared for the very long, steep hike to the cave. We were able to make the hike in just under a hour. She was very excited to go to the cave because her second grade teacher now tours the cave. All thru the tour she would ask the guide if he knew where Mrs. Litchford was, and finally we found her and was able to get a quick picture and hug with her.
