Our Fall Affairs

(First, let me apologize for the blurriness of so many of these pictures.  Apparently, we are having camera issues. . . or operator issues.  Probably operator issues.  But in most cases, the blurry images are all I have to remember certain things, so I'll post them anyway.)

We have been super busy lately. 

I mean really, really busy.


While Travis stayed home working on the house at the beginning of the month, I took the girls up north for a surprise party for my mom's birthday.  The entire trip was fabulous.  I stayed up late with my brothers and sister in law telling stories and laughing at each other (I seriously laughed so hard I was crying, man it felt good).  We enjoyed watching conference, and surprised my mother on her birthday, we ate delicious food CONSTANTLY, and we shopped and shopped.  We also got really excited for Halloween when we took the kids to Gardner Village to shop and spy some witches. 

Well, OK, the kids didn't exactly love the shopping part (Brielle and Cayson):

But Brielle did think the fabulously done up witches were the best thing since sliced apples.  She was constantly on the prowl for the next witch.  (Super cute pregnant Misty with Cayson in the back)


Again, sorry so blurry.


Trav ended up having a business trip in SLC, so my mom and I took the girls swimming at the hotel.  Notice a pattern here - Travis works while I play.  Normally I'd feel bad, but after this last hunting season, I'm game!



In other news, we signed Breezy up for gymnastics.  It's a mommy and me class so I get to go with her to spot and hold her hand when she's nervous, but she is LOVING it!  She's a wild woman there and I always have to stop her from jumping all over everything when her class is headed elsewhere.  She's obsessed with the bars, and the obstacle course, but hates the beam. 

Pumpkin Patch:
Travis finally took a night off from the house, so I jumped at the chance to head to the pumpkin patch.  I am quite fond of pumpkin patches, especially when I get to take the girls on a hayride.  They were in love!

Even Taylee joined in the fun of picking out her own pumpkin.

As long as it made a good chair, she was in!

Grandma and Grandpa were even able to join in the fun.


As for me, I was just happy that I actually got a full night with my husband.  We had so much fun teasing and laughing together.

I wasn't the only one happy about his appearance either!



Today, I caught Brielle sitting just like this.  For some reason, I found it absolutely hilarious!  I just love this girl so much!

Bunko. . . . Halloween style!

Thanks girls.  It was a blast as usual!
