October

This was a busy month. We arrived home from California the first weekend. Then we drove down to SL the next weekend for Olivia's baptism. Ches stayed home to get caught up, so the kids and I had a great visit.

The next weekend the family came to IF for Robbie's ordination. It was a beautiful fall weekend. We had a BBQ at the campus and it was nice enough for the kids to play outside. It's a good thing too, because our house is just not big enough to hold everyone.

So proud of this Deacon

The next weekend we went to SL again. This time our good friends the Johnson's came with us.

It was Todd's birthday weekend and we decided to celebrate.

We took two cars, the boys truck and the girl truck.

We stopped at Outback Steak house in Ogden for dinner.

We had such a fun time, and the kids loved going out for steak.
Saturday we enjoyed a nice restful morning, then we drove to IKEA for some shopping and lunch. We just love that store, so much cool stuff to look at and the kids had fun too.

The main event of the weekend was the Utah Grizzlies Hockey Game

Ches and Todd are ready for the game

Tanya and I are ready too

We had an extra ticket so my Dad joined us at the game.

It was fun to be at a game with Dad again.

In our seats

It was Breast Cancer Awareness night so the Grizzlies Team all wore pink.
The girls thought it was the greatest thing ever.

At intermission a big Happy Birthday Wish for Todd was displayed on the jumbo tron.

Sunday morning we packed up and headed south to Cabelas for one more fun afternoon shopping. The kids loved the animals and the biggest kids loved looking at all the gear.

After a delish lunch at In and Out Burger we headed home.

It was such a fun weekend. Road trips with friends are the best!

The next weekend was Halloween. On Friday night we went to a carnival at the school. I was working a booth so I forgot to take pictures,but it was fun and the kids loved running around without Mom watching over their shoulder. Saturday morning was the Carnival at ISU-IF.

Here is princess Kimmie with Bennie the Bengal

Isn't she gorgeous?!

Rickie helped out at the carnival this year and had a blast. He worked at the fishing pond. Lee and Robbie had a Merit Badge PowWow that day so they missed out on the fun.

Later that night the kids had a Halloween Party. They each invited over a few friends. There was lots of junk food to eat and movies to watch.Kimmie and her friends watched House of Mouse Villains while the boys watched Arachnophobia. It was SO much FUN listening to them scream. They all claimed they were not scared once the movie ended, But I heard many of them had to check their rooms for spiders before they went to bed that night. Hahahaha

I love Halloween and Love watching scary movies with my kids.

This month was so busy and so fun.
