Hello Fall!

When we welcome FALL at our house, that means we are welcoming a new season of FOOTBALL. This year seems more intense because now Bowen is old enough to be right in the thick of it. He loves Cosmo, but only from a distance. To hear him talk about Cosmo, though, you'd think they are best friends. Jackson got Cosmo's autograph, along with some BYU football players, at the Cougar Kickoff.

Jackson and Bowen scrimage in our living room every night--tackling and everything. Bowen yells, "Blue 19, Set, HIKE!" Then Jackson chases him and tackles him. Justin also has Jackson running some plays, the most famous being "Fake and Go." He's pretty good at catching passes on the run. What is a little girl going to do in our house? Is she going to survive?!

Fall just wouldn't be Fall without the St. George Marathon. We are so proud of Justin, Megan, and Jake. They did awesome! I love that Jackson and Bowen watch their Dad accomplish something as great as a marathon, let alone his 10th. Justin is now officially in the 10 Year Club!

Alison and Chris also ran in the Marathon this year, but because of a crazy morning, I didn't get to see much of them. They both qualified for Boston!

Visiting the witches at Gardner Village is always a lot of fun. (Just ask Teylor. She only went once or five times already this year.) Going with cousins makes it that much funner! They take a great picture, don't they?!

Posing with our pumkins from Ballard Pumpkin Patch. We love this place! We got all of these pumpkins for $11! The kids get to walk around and pick their pumpkins right off the vine.

This Fall, Jackson played Coach Pitch. He had to play with 1st and 2nd graders because they didn't offer Coach Pitch for kids his age. I was a little nervous to have him play with such bigger kids, but he did awesome! He is quite the hitter!

Bowen playing Football at Jackson's Coach Pitch games. This guy is a trooper for going to all of Jackson's sporting events each season. Pretty soon, he'll be playing in his own games!

Since Fall just began, I guess there is a lot more to come. But I think we are off to a good start!
