October randoms

Abi and I were out shopping and she saw this mask, she wanted me to send a picture to Luke.

 crazy hair day!

buns, mohawk, and carmel apple.

 There is always something fun at the Ortho office.

 Hailey had a field trip to the Hogle zoo.  She has the cutest friend who was in our group, Staylee.  They are the sweetest friends.

 They looked at the map probably every ten feet or so.  It was adorable.

 Luke had his sixth grade carnival.  He and his friend, Jacob, did a fish pond a nachos.

 Abi was the best sister and took Ike around the whole carnival while I helped with the nachos.

pumpkin pizza party

We had a pizza party at Grandma Barb's and then went to the Weston's pumkin patch with our cousins. The kids love this tradition so much!

Las Vegas

Ben's work conference fell over our anniversay this year, so I joined him on his trip to Vegas.  It's extra fun since Brent and Shelley are there too!

getting ready to fly out

 Brent and Shelley took us to Red Rock National Preserve, it was beautiful!

 We went to see the Blue Man Group.  Probably one of the best shows I've ever seen.  It was hilarious.  I told Brent to take a picture of us four and he did this instead.

 I made him retake it.

 seriously so fun, I would even take my kids.

 I love that no matter where we are, there's always a church to attend.

 We ate dinner at the Aria

 We took a ride on the High Roller

 Such a fun trip with Ben, but it's so nice leaving Vegas.  I get so sick of the loud music and smell of smoke.  I couldn't wait to get back to the kiddos.

 On top of all the free sunglasses, sparkly bracelets, and pens Ben got from his work conference... He won an Ipad mini and a 100$ gift card.  He is super lucky, it's crazy how much stuff he wins.

Carly's baptism

Carly's baptism day was so special.  She was so happy all morning, while getting ready.  She could barely contain her excitement.  We had lots of family there to support her and Beau on their big day.  They were so reverent during the talks and the whole day.  I'm so proud of them both. 

First half of October

 Watching conference with Hailey

 We needed a drive while Ben was at the Priesthood session, so we went to look at the

 changing leaves.

 Sometimes I feel like my heart is going to burst, I love these kids so much!

 Abigail had a field trip to the dairy farm.  It was pouring rain, so naturally I brought ponchos.  I hate getting wet.  Ab and I were the only ones wearing ponchos... but I didn't care.  I would rather be dry than cool.

 Isaac fell asleep on Ben's lap, he's just snuggly.

 Ben always has Columbus day off, and the kids don't.  So, we always go do something 

fun with Ike.  We ate at Jeremiah's and went to Ikea.

 I looked out the window and thought it was so cute.  All the big boys were across the street and the little boys on this side.  We love Harrisville, so many fun friends to play with.
