October Festivities

October was a month filled with all sorts of randomness.  We did some stuff outside cause it was still warm enough and then made our way inside on the cold days.  I have said this so many times, but this is my favorite month of the year.  I love the smells, the feel in the air, general conference, yummy food, and fun times with family and friends.


We go to the jump zone quite a bit and let our kids run and play.  It allows the kids to burn off some energy while the moms can sit on the couch and talk and watch. Lena and Stella were pretty interested in what their older friend London was doing. Cute girls!


I love decorating for Halloween!




Because of so much stuff going on Drake and Stella have spent many times napping in the car. I love being busy and having stuff to do so we are always out and about doing stuff. I probably need to take it easy and stay home, but that is what January and February are for!


Stella and I enjoy our time together while Drake is at preschool. She usually is napping at this time but sometimes we meet friends for lunch or just hang out the two of us.  My favorite is when we get to go home and just spend time together there. I usually rock her to sleep and I love it!



Stella started Nursery in October and she hates is.  She screams the entire time! 


Drake was spotlighted at Preschool.  He was so proud of himself!


Hanging out in Halloween City.


Watching cartoons in Mommy and Daddy's bed!



Drake had a Primary Halloween party at the church. It was really fun for him to go to the different stations they had of different activities.



I worked all month on this quilt for Drake for his birthday.  This is the top of the quilt before I took it to get quilted.  I love it!


Lexi was trying to teach Drake how to ride a bike in Walmart!!


We went to this beautiful place. I love going in there!


My mom was gone a lot in October so we hung out with Grandpa a lot!



Sweet Drake reading the Friend.  I love him! He is a good boy!  October, you were a good month!!



Halloween 2013

I love Halloween!! It is so fun to dress up and you get free candy!  How much better does it get?  Drake started the day off by going to his party at school.  They did Halloween crafts and played Halloween games. Drake loves preschool so much and I can see why!



The carpool boys. Hunter B., Drake, and Hunter T.  These three are hilarious and always give me a good laugh when it is my turn to drive for preschool.


Stella was not so fond of her costume.  It didn't surprise me!


Our first stop was Lee's.  The kids got some awesome stuff and got to go through a little spook alley. I love Lee's so much!  I love having a small town grocery store right by my house!




We went to Tessa's brothers work and went trick or treating around his office and then went to my Dad's work where they had it decked out for Halloween.  It was so much fun! My kids loved seeing Grandpa.




They had a bounce house set up and there frog hopper ride for all of the kids to ride on! It was a party!


Then we made our rounds trick or treating.  We went to  my grandpa and grandma's first.  They loved seeing my kids and my kids always love seeing them.  Drake was pretty proud of his dinosaur costume!




Stella just hanging out eating a cheeseburger.  This girl cracks me up!



Later that evening we went Trick or Treating.  We have an awesome neighborhood with so many little kids so it was fun to watch all of the little kids walk around together and run from door to door! 


Grace and Drake. They are hilarious together and always have so much fun!





Our club house was showing a Halloween movie in the theater and so we stopped there last and got some candy and watched some of the movie.


My Dad and James came out and we had dinner at our house and let the trick or treater's come to us the rest of the night!

10th West Scare House


I haven't been to a Haunted House since I was in High School!  I used to love to go them and went every year with a group of friends.  I am not a huge fan of scary movies but haunted houses are so fun to me because obviously it is so fake and it is over with quickly! Luckily I have some friends that like creepy stuff too and also wanted to go to a haunted house.


This haunted house was a good one.  I thought because of it being in Logan that it might be kind of silly, but it was really good. They people that put it together put a lot of money into it and made it so that is was really creepy and made sure everyone that went through got a good scare.





So this picture was on their facebook page!!! That is nice!! Chris and Kelsi are all calm and collected and then there is me scared to death!

Sky View Mini Bowl

My nephew Logan's football team had an undefeated season and went to the Mini Bowl where they won!!  I love watching little league football.  They all look so dang cute in their football pants and they were all really good and played an awesome game.


Drake looks really bored in these pictures, but he did actually like it!




Stella enjoyed it too!!  It was fun to take a Saturday and drive to Ogden and spend the day together as a family.
