Pumpkin 2013

Eastern Idaho State Fair

We have fun at the State Fair on Labor Day. It rained all day, but we avoided getting wet by going in the buildings and being under the tents. Cousin Taythen had chicken at the fair, we made it just in time to see him show it. We had lunch while we watched the horse competitions. The kids got to dress up like pioneers and we feed the animals at the petting zoo.

The Start of the Harvest and School

We have about 10 bottles of spaghetti sauce, 29 bags of corn in the freezer, and 3 pint and 2 half pints of corn cob syrup. We are planning on canning more spaghetti sauce, salsa and sweet and sour tomorrow.

The kids will be starting school this week they are jealous that Grandma, Aunt Haley and many cousins get to start school before they do.  RyAnn is in 4th grade and gets to go to the new 3 through 5 grade elementary school (the old 6 and 7  grade school). Issac is going to be in 2nd grade.  Morriah is going to be in AM kindergarten. She is also going to be in the language immersion program that starts this year at our elementary school. She is going to learn Spanish. Elizza gets to spend her day with Mom going to exercise, get kids after kindergarten, and learn more vocabulary.  Mom is excited to get on a schedule before she starts taking classes online in two weeks.
