Peter Piper picked a Pumpkin
On Saturday we went to a pumpkin patch here in Springville and let the kids get their pumpkins. It was fairly busy because of the beutiful day! But we managed to find some good ones. We will be carving them this weekend and then will be kicking butt at my families anual pumpkin carving contest!

Family Pics and other stuff
We had pics taken on Saturday. They turned out so cute! Jill Scott, our photographer, is the best! But the range of looks on Tayas face is truly funny. She wouldn't relax and so they all look strained. Their a couple of cute ones, but for the most part....! I will be posting some of the pics later.
On a slightly less fun note, Cory was laid off today. He was working for Contempo Tile in Orem. There sales have been declining (as have everyones with anything to do with housing). So they had to lay off the two newest guys, which included Cory. They gave him a decent severance check at least. Which sort of leads to the next topic....
We have always said we wanted to live in St George. We have always said someday. But we feel if we don't do it know, before the kids get much older, then we would not be able to it at all. If Cory is going to have to get a new job, why not look there? We are praying about it. We have talked to the kids and they seem excited at the idea. So we will see....
