Neighborhood Halloween Bash

Last Friday, us neighborhood gals had a Halloween party for our youngun's. This is Will showing how ready he is to go in his adorable Fisherman's costume. Will had a great time! He got to decorate cookies,

decorate a pumpkin,

listen to Halloween stories,

and take a swipe at the pinata. I told him to hit the pinata and he took his free hand and hit it with that instead of the bat. It was hilarious!

And of course, Will didn't mind the candy that came bursting out either!

The highlight for Gabby was that she got a nice Lady Bug nap!

No Business Like Show Business

Yes, we may look dirty but we were an AWESOME caveman and woman in our Ward Roadshow! We competed against the other wards in our stake and I haven't even heard if we won but we got a lot of compliments and it sure was a blast! This isn't the whole cast but you get the idea!

Cabin Fever!

This past weekend, Benj won the draw for the Deer Hunt. The Cloward's were generous enough to let us stay at their beautiful cabin. We left on Thursday night and had an amazing time till Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, Benj just missed a 2 point Buck! Shucks!

We roasted hot dogs by the fire pit and as you can see, Will got into some Cheddar Sun Chips!

We did a lot of 4-wheeling up there

And Will even did some 4-wheeling of his own!

We sure had a good time!

Applesauce Canning

Benj's parents gave us a "plethora" of apples so I invited my neighbor Julia over and we went applesauce crazy! It got interesting with the kids so we turned on Bolt, the movie, to entertain the kids! Of course, it only lasted about 15 minutes but we'll take all we can get!

Hiking Labor Day Weekend

On Labor Day Weekend we decided to make the most of it by going to American Fork Canyon. We hiked Stewart Falls

Gabby was so good just hanging out in the snuggli

Will sure was a trooper. He loved hiking!

Unfortunately we didn't make it to the falls because it started raining. If you look closely, you can see that we're soaked!

Gabby was pretty well protected in the snuggli. Luckily we had a burp cloth to put over her head so she stayed pretty dry!

Will was out within a minute of driving away

On Monday, we had hot dogs and smores! Yummy!

Then, we decided to go to Cascade Springs. Will loved this toddler carrier Chelsea and Chris let us borrow

Will thought it was pretty funny to play peek-a-boo. Daddy's enjoying himself as well!

The whole clan!

Gabby's Blessing

We had Gabrielle's blessing at my parent's due to the large size of both our families. Benj sure gave a great blessing for Gabrielle. As you can see, he relaxed right away after giving it. This is one of the only happy moments Will had. He sure struggled that night!

Gabrielle got to wear the dress I was blessed in. It was hand-crocheted by my Aunt Joyce! And apparently Gabs is pointing to something very important off camera!

Isn't she gorgeous?

Thanksgiving Point Fun

We took advantage of the $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point this past month. We went to the Farm Country the 18th and then the Garden's Discovery Park the next week. It was a blast!

Look at that professional milking!
He loved the animals!

My what big ears you have!

He liked splashing around in the water!

Will called Noah "Jesus". Close enough right?

Gabby just hung out in the stroller

Anyone home?

Beautiful musical abilities!

Luckily the gate was open to the main Gardens as well

It sure was beautiful!

Will even got to feed the fish

They sure are fat from all that food!
