Mitchell Family: Picking Pumpkins

Picking Pumpkins

Jeff and I have never carved pumpkins together since we’ve been married. Once you have children though you cannot have a proper Halloween without having a pumpkin on your porch. We picked out our pumpkins at a local church that was selling them for a youth fundraiser.

Austin found his pumpkin - just the right size!

Hey Dad, I found yours!

About Us...

Jeff and I met in Provo, UT on May 1, 2006 playing volleyball on Stadium Terrace’s humble sand volleyball court. A few weeks later we started dating and now we’ve been married for 5 years! We both graduated from BYU in April 2009 and moved to Denver shortly thereafter. We have an adorable, talkative, three-year-old boy, Austin, who keeps us entertained and loving life. Jeff finished graduate school at the University of Denver in 2010 and started a job as an auditor with the public accounting firm McGladrey in November 2010. I have the pleasure of being a stay-at-home mom and am so grateful that I am able to be with Austin all day.
