October 2014

October is always a favorite month around our house.  We love the cooler fall weather, volleyball and football games and of course my birthday and Halloween.  We always live it up in October!

Enjoying some Utah Volleyball

Jaymi is pretty good buddies with Mr. Swoop.  They hangout at pretty much every game we go to.

We have a fun day at the zoo with our Bonner cousins and Grandma Amy.

The girls are very into dress-ups these days, its the first thing Bryn puts on when she wakes up and usually the last thing she takes off before bedtime.

Jaymi's little special needs cheer squad is earning money to travel to California this Spring for the 2015 National Competition.  This is us standing outside of a local Harmon's candy filled pom-poms.

Jaymi and Bryn practicing their ballet dance for their Christmas performance.

Kaelyn got a cute new haircut, she likes it shorter because mom doesn't have to brush out as many tangles and mom likes it shorter because Kaelyn can't chew on it.

Jaymi's classroom Halloween party.  Yum look at that tasty sugar cookie!

She loves when I get to come to her classroom.  She always makes me feel so good.

Our cute neighborhood friend throws the best halloween party.  They had lots of fun stations and games for all the kids to do.

I got a special birthday treat this year.  It fell on the same weekend as an overnight mom's retreat we had with my Ds mom friends.  We even got to start it off with a little shopping at the outlets.  Sadly these weren't all my bags, just wanted to scare Wayne a little :)

Another day we met our friends the Jackmans at Artic Circle for lunch and playtime.  They had the whole place decorated like Wizard of Oz.

Another day we met up with our friends the Nelson's for a day at Gardner Village and finding the witches.  

I love this frame and picture in my room.  Helps me keep things in perspective.

We finally got to updating these pictures in our room.  Five years and two kids later, my how things have changed.

Halloween night we did a couple of blocks of trick or treating around the neighborhood and then camped out at our friend's, the Anderson's to visit and pass out candy.  The girls had just as much fun handing out the candy to trick or treaters as they did getting it themselves.  The Anderson's have two front doors on each side of their house and they live on the main street so they were busy girls racing from one door to the other all night.

We had the Disney theme going with Flynn Rider, 2 Minnie Mouses, Cinderella, Snow White, 2 Tiggers and Christopher Robin.  Wayne and I were party poopers and didn't dress up.

Kaelyn and Daddy at the hospital bright and early to get Kaelyn's ear tubes replaced.

A beautiful Sunset from our front porch.  Too bad the pictures do really do them justice.
