~FAMILY PICTURES~
I have an amazingly talented friend whom I love dearly. Heavenly Father blessed me when He made her my college roommate. She's the type that will be a friend for life--I am truly blessed to have her as a friend! On top of being an amazing friend--she takes amazing photos, and she has spoiled me once again!

~SOCCER~
Bryan volunteered to be Hailey's soccer coach! We had a fantastic season making it a whole family affair. We cheered until our throats were dry, and then we played some more soccer until our sides hurt from laughing.

& HALLOWEEN

We went trick-or-treating before Halloween, because Halloween landed on a Sunday. A group of friends organized a trick-or-treating route for those of us who didn't want to trick-or-treat on the Sabbath. At first, my kids were a bit disappointed to not be trick-or-treating on the actual holiday; however, after they understood that the celebration was going to last twice as long--they were thrilled!

For Halloween, we had a SPOOKY DINNER, and afterwards we created a Halloween House! The kids had so much fun answering the door for the trick-or-treaters! They thought this was the best year ever!

~PUMPKIN PATCH~
October 16, 2010

We went to the pumpkin patch, and we had so much fun! We spent all day playing in the corn, on the slides, on the cow train, in the corn maze, and participating in the pig races. I am so grateful for family moments. I love watching my kids and the excitement in their eyes as they run from one activity to another. I love holding their hands as we walk through the corn. I love feeling the corn run through my fingers as I play with my little girl. I love laughing at each and every reaction from my beautiful children. I love the pumpkin patch!

~OCTOBER FESTIVITIES~
The month of October is a crazy fun month for our family! We build memories galore, and we laugh alot along the way...I love the traditions we have started! Sometimes it feels a bit crazy, (on the planning end) but I wouldn't change it for the world!

ACTIVITY #1: Mummy Wrap
The Horton's joined us for our mummy wrap night! We had a great time wrapping and throwing toilet paper. Who knew fun could be so inexpensive?

Activity #2: Bobbing for Apples and Donuts on a String
