We had a great Fall

Despite the pregnancy making me uber tired, we managed to move and still have a fabulous Fall. Fall is my most favorite time of year. The colors are so amazing, you can feel the change in the air and it is the time to bust out crafts, and delicious fall recipes. I love spending time with my family during this time of the year. I am such a visual person that I think the pictures can do a better job of explaining all of our fun this year.

They painted their pumpkins. Olivia and Grant's pumpkins names are "Pump Rockers" and Sydney's is "Fashion girl pumpkin" They were very proud of their work.

We went to the Hogle Zoo a couple times.



Right beside the Hogle Zoo is the trail the Pioneers took when they first entered the SL valley. There was some statues and things to let the kids read a learn about. This one was about the Pony Express.

Boo at the Zoo. We were bummed that the play ground was cold, but made up for it with some yummy ice cream.

A Werewolf picture in front of the wolves, I thought it was fitting.  This was our most favorite exhibit this trip.
Love this photo. Such happiness.

Candy please!

Dressed and ready for school. Grant couldn't have his mask at school so we painted his wolf face. I think it turned out great!

I  had one busy day making cupcakes for the kids class party! But they loved bringing the cupcakes to share with their friends!

Sydney and Miss Kim. She loves her teacher.

Olivia at the schools costume parade.




The kids basically cleaned out our street and the one above. They got a TON of candy, so we figured we didn't really need to go anywhere else. I'm sure the neighbors were thinking "weren't you just here 5 mins ago?"

Exactly how her Halloween went. This girl LOVES candy. I find it ironic that we tell our kids to stay away from strangers and to never accept anything from strangers....but it's ok 1 day of the year. 

Maebee the Angel and Harley as the Devil. We found this very very appropriate!

Grant and his friend Brandon from across the street.

Some people in our neighborhood made a haunted house in their basement. Grant was the only brave one at first. I thought it was a really fun thing for the kids.

Cutest thing ever. Sydney was tired (imagine that) so we came home and she passed out the candy. I loved it!


We took a hike with Kenzie and Leo. It was very treacherous for me but the view was great and the exercise I suppose was good too!
Yes.....it snowed in October.....CRAZY! But it was fun and the kids loved it!

Proof the pregnant lady made it up the mountain.



Ready for some good eats!




The kiddos with Great Grandma Lois.

The kids table. I think they had fun, and dinner was delish!

Fall family photos

I don't care what anyone says, my kids are the cutest in this world.

Natural beauty

My handsome little stud

Such a little Diva, striking a pose

Our attempt at taking a jumping photo....we weren't too successful.

The views were amazing!!! I only wish we had come up just a little earlier to get more of the spectacular colors!

3 little monkeys swinging in the tree.

Saw a mama and her baby on our adventures.

Last family photo with out the new addition. Yay to families growing.

We are all so excited to have a new little sister and baby in the house!

My handsome boys. These boys are great! 

We took a trip up to American Fork Canyon to take some family pictures. They turned out very well for an amateur tree stump.
