The pumpkin patch at Underwood Farms is my favorite fall-time tradition. We drug our city slicker behinds up to the farm twice this year 'cause it's so darned nice to breathe in some fresh air (all be it, smelly due to some livestock).
Riding in the wagon is so much fun.
Johnny and his two best friends, Eleanor & Ella. Cute hu?
Halloween was fun this year because Johnny really got into it. We put up a few decorations like this here skeleton. And believe it or not I actually dressed up (if you can call it that - I just painted my nose and wore a hat) for the first time in 20 + years. It will probably be another 20 before I dress up again, so here's one more picture.
Instead of handing out candy at the trunk or treat, we made a big jug of homemade rootbeer complete with dry ice. It was a real hit with the kids. You can't find this stuff in L.A. so I had my mom send me a bunch from good 'ole Walmart in Idaho. We have enough to do it again next year.
We also had a visit from our awesome Uncle Mikey. The boys had a great time getting to know him.
Well, that's it for the pictures. In other news, Brian became the bishop of our ward on October 16th. The first few weeks I was feeling a mixture of shock and denial. I'm a bit more used to the idea now, though every day brings new surprises. Brian has jumped in with both feet and is giving it all he's got. He's as cheerful and positive as ever. I'm proud of him for being willing to serve.
Anyway - Happy Fall!

BRIAN IS BISHOP??? Oh Caroline! Congratulations? Sorry? Wow. Just wow. I'm sure he's already doing an amazing job. Go Bishop Merrell!
Good for you for braving the drive to Underwood Farms. I didn't do it this year but every time I do I love it. Great pictures!
Both feet indeed! And I must say that he's doing a great job. And you are doing an extra great job. In fact, your whole family is just great! I hope you know that!
Fun! We can't believe we missed our annual trip to the pumpkin patch this year...it really is a family favorite! Hopefully next year! Looks like you all had fun, love the pictures!
Lina. ..the bishops wife has the toughest job. You will be excellent. I love looking at the pics if your family. We love life out of the army and will hopefully soon get a job here in Idaho where we can settle down and get some routine back in our lives.
