Oh Deer.

Week before last we painted our 4 cute little pumpkins from our garden. They weren't big enough to carve so we decided to paint them. I personally find the vinyl families on people's car windows funny, so I thought we should paint our pumpkins like OUR vinyl family. Since we have a fam of 4 it was like destiny was calling them. They turned out ADORABLE, wouldn't you say?

In case you can't tell, Luke's was a hunter, I'm a mommy, Tianna is a PRINCESS and Adelia is well, a baby. :D

Sad to say, we returned from our weekend adventures to find only 2 of our family remaining. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of people taking stuff from our porch! We've lost a pumpkin the first year here, our security system sign (since recovered), a bunch of flowers (see April 2008 for THAT fun story) and last Halloween a really cute witch sign I had painted. Now, sadly, but not to my surprise, we lost 2 of our vinyl family pumpkins. It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't have taken Tianna's. Every time we walk by she says, "where's my pumpkin?" When I explained someone took it she suggested "let's go take it back." Well if I knew where it was, don't think I wouldn't. It makes me soooo mad. Shouldn't your own personal possessions on your OWN porch of a house you OWN be at least somewhat safe? People-if you have clepto children, lock them up. PLEASE. Or at least supervise them 100% of the time they are outside. And if it happens that adults are responsible-- SHAME ON YOU! : P Okay I'll jump off my soap box.

... on to the great deer hunt.
Luke's brother in law, mom, and dad were all successful. Luke had a good time helping them, gutting, cleaning, skinning, etc etc the little darlings. Adelia, Tianna, and I got in on the action a bit Saturday night. We sat in the car the whole time and little Tianna PEACOCK kept saying, "Let me out, I want to go shoot a deer!" So definitely a Peacock spawn.
During the opening morning the girls and I hung out with Auntie Monica and Aden while the hunters went out. Thanks Monica for a grand old time! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

I wanted more cute pictures of daddy and co in our hunting gear but my battery died on the camera. Sad. So all you get is the few I got from inside the truck.

Friday I went to Price to spend the day with my mom and sisters(and in laws) as we remembered Vittoria on the 2 month anniversary of her passing. Not a day goes by without thinking of that sweet angel and her family.
We enjoyed being able to see her grave and Tianna loved giving Aunt Val a little unicorn like the big one that Vittoria had loved and had with her in her casket. We were so glad we could visit that special place and remember a very special little girl whom we miss terribly.

While in Price we snuck in our monthly picture of "the twins." Adelia and her cousin, Pyper, are 2 days apart. They are modeling their matching outfits! The second picture was so cute- Pyper wasn't in the mood for a photoshoot and Adelia was checking her out to see if she was okay.

Sunday night Luke had to return home and I and the girls stayed until Monday and rode up with my sister, Jana, and her daughter Harley. She needed pictures of temples so we made stops at the Mount Timpanogas and Salt Lake Temples, and hit Logan Tuesday morning.... before we shopped our butts off. We loved having Jana and Harley visit, even though it was not near long enough.

Now I find it's been nearly a week since I wrote this post because I was too lazy to upload my photos! Now I have a whole new weekend worth of pictures from the PUMPKIN WALK! A Logan favorite of ours. Check back in a few days for those!
