November 1 through November 7
I'm so lacking pictures for this week so I thought I go back a year and post pictures from our life one year ago...my how the kids have grown up!
October 25 through October 31
We had a fun week of Halloween activites. Here are some of my favorite photos from the week:
Our annual front porch photo on our way out the door to go Trick-or-Treating.
Our Halloween supper with the Emery's...black bean soup and quesadillas, oh and a steaming witches brew!
The girls in the Trick-or-Treating group...so cute!
Batman and Robin...what a pair!
Checking out the loot...when I was a kid we always we sorted our candy into piles of like candy to see what we got the most of. So I taught me kids to do the same. Snickers was the winner for both...to bad they don't love them!
Game at Nana and Grandpa's Halloween party...Pass the Pumpkin!
Family photo from Nana and Grandpa's party...Bryan and I borrowed some SuperHero costumes...don't we look great!
Carving pumpkins! Bryan did a great job tryin to make Snow White for Natalie.
Ben's school Halloween parade...he was so funny and even did a little Robin maneuver for us.
Making Halloween sugar cookies for FHE...yum!

My sweet and talented friend, Erin, took our family pictures today for our Christmas cards. She was so kind to take an hour Sunday afternoon to take our pictures. She did a great job. This one's not going on the card, but I love it so I'll post it here.

Ben and Daddy got haircuts this afternoon...what a handsome guy!
Tuesday, OCt. 20
We all went to the dentist today...I didn't take my camera there but when we came home they posed with their new toothbrushes for me. Gotta love a new toothbrush! They both did great at the dentist and loved getting chocolate when we were done...what dentist gives candy at the end of a checkup? This was our first visit to this dentist but we loved him and will definitely be going back.
Wednesday, Oct. 21
Still loving the weather and being off track...we went to the fishing hole at The Cove and watched the ducks and old men fishing.
Thursday, Oct. 22
This one was actually from yesterday...so not perfect about taking a picture everyday. We took a picnic to the park and loved being outside!
Friday, Oct. 23
Bryan went to Costco for me while I taught piano lessons. Natalie went with him and they came back with this pretty surprise for me. Natalie spilled the beans though and came downstairs to tell me they were back..."and actually Mom, we bought you flowers!" What a wonderful husband.
Saturday, Oct. 24
We had our Ward Halloween party last night and part of the party was painting pumpkins. With the crowd a the paint table, however, we ended up painting them at home this morning. Natalie and I painted her's purple with a black spiderweb over it and Ben painted the Robin symbol on one side and a bat on the other.

Here's my cute bedheads having Sunday breakfast of pancakes. Love Sunday mornings.
Monday, Oct. 12
We've had some wonderful weather and enjoyed some park time while Ben's off track. They love finding new parks to test out. This was a fun one.
Tuesday, Oct. 13
We made our annual trip to Gardner Village to see the witches they put on display. It turned out to be an extremely crowded day to visit so our pictures are not so great but we had fun doing the witch hunt and making a stop at the candy store for our favorite taffy and sampling fudge.
Wednesday, Oct. 14
We went on a leaf hunt this afternoon and then made some leaf rubbings as part of Ben's off track homework. I love leaf hunts!
Thursday, Oct. 15
Natalie loves helping in the kitchen...she loves eating these potato pearls dry out of the bin...then decided she would use it for a stool.
Friday, Oct. 18
One of Ben's favorite things about being off track is staying in your PJ's all morning. These 2 got out the playdough first thing this morning and had fun rolling it out together. I love it when they can play well together.

I love dressing up as a witch for Halloween...it was my favorite costume as a kid. Don't you think this little one make a pretty darn cute witch?

Sunday, Oct 4
I don't have a picture for today so I looked in my picture folders to see if I had a picture from this date last year and I found these cute pictures of my kids at the pumpkin patch last year. It's fun to see how they grown and changed in a year. I've actually been thinking a lot lately about how grown up they are looking. Time seems to go by faster and faster the older I get.
Monday, Oct 5
Here's this year's picture from the pumpkin patch. The weather looked much warmer in last year's pictures! It was actually lightly snowing when we left the house. Thankfully it cleared up enough to gather our picks for this year. We love this little local patch near our home and this year they added some cute little wheelbarrows for the kids.
Tuesday, Oct 6
Nana gave the kids some outlines of paperdolls. They spent the day coloring them in. Ben did a great job making his look like his Halloween costume...Robin. And Natalie had me color hers to look like Natalie...how's I do?
Wednesday, Oct 7
I recently made several of these hooded towels for my kids and for gifts. I am teaching a sewing class for Enrichment tomorrow on how to make these as well as "No Sew" tutus.
Thursday, Oct 8
We went to a local apple farm for Natalie's first preschool fieldtrip today. We enjoyed a hay ride, a tour of their cider mill, and got to pick our own apple from the orchard. We bought a big box of apples to make applesauce and learned some interesting things about apples and farming.
Friday, Oct 9
So after buying a big box of delicious Jonathon apples yesterday, I spent the morning making homemade applesauce. It turned out well and we now have 18 pints of applesauce in food storage. I did, however, manage to break my blender in the process...oh well!

For the last 5 years, we have cleaned a commerical office building for Bryan's uncle to earn a little extra money. Today was our last time cleaning as the responsibility is being passed onto someone else. A bittersweet ending. Our kids have spent time each Saturday, playing at Nana and Grandpa's house while we cleaned. We are definitely going to miss playing there each week and might have to make a few trips out just for fun!

Today is my 32nd birthday. Happy Birthday to me! Here's a picture of me on my third birthday. My mom was great about making us cute homemade birthday cakes...a tradition I have tried to carry on with my own kids.
Monday, Sept 28
Here's Ben and Natalie enjoying a FHE treat before bed. We went out "Booing" for FHE. A fun tradition we like to start each year. We take some treats to a few neighbors with a poem declaring ourselves a Halloween phantom and asking them to share it with someone else. Ben and Natalie loved watching Daddy leave the treats and then run as fast as he could to our getaway spot.

Fall has definitely taken over Summer with cooler temperatures. The cool mornings have lead to this scene...the fire going to warm up two little ones.
Wednesday, Sept 30
Yep...it's lightly snowing on Sept. 30th! It has been unseasonally cool this past week. Brr!
Thursday, Oct 1
It's UEA weekend this week and Ben starts his first off track session. Bryan also had the day off and so we headed up to a Harvest Carnival at Hogle Zoo. We enjoyed seeing the baby elephant and playing a few games.
Friday, Oct 2
We've been pulling out the garden and flowers this week since the frost put an abrupt end to their beauty. We grew some giant sunflowers and here is the harvest from that adventure. They were fun to watch grow but a bit of a pain to take care off and then to pull them out as well. We're going to dry out the flower heads and harvest some seeds for roasting. Does anyone like sunflower seeds? We've got plenty!
Saturday, Oct 3
We put out our Halloween decorations this weekend. In our collection, we have several items that spell Boo. Natalie pointed to one after Ben had been reading them all and said..."Boo...hey that's my name!" Awhile ago, Bryan's Dad started calling her NannyBoo and then lately just Boo. It was cute how she made the connection.

Another theme week...this is the first official week of Fall. I LOVE this season and have posted Fall favorites each day:

Monday, Sept 21
Harvest...I love farmers markets, gardening, canning, and all things harvest.
Tuesday, Sept 22
Pumpkins! The grocery stores and local patches are stocking colorful orange piles They are fun and festive. We'll pick some up from a local pumpkin patch later on!

Fall means Football! Bryan is a big BYU fan and looks forward to games each weekend. He has season tickets to the games with his brother and Dad. They love it and it has been a long standing tradition to go to the games together. Several people on our street have BYU flags and so I endulged him with an early Christmas gift so he would stop envying the neigbors! The kids got BYU T-Shirts as well and love wearing them on game days with Daddy!
