pumpkin carving

The kids did a great job this year... Isaac was the only one who needed a little help.  They all turned out great.  I love doing this as a family.

October odds and ends

 Every six months, we get together with my Jenkins girl cousins and have dinner.  I got to hold my sweet niece, Scarlett.

 Abigail, Ben, Luke, and I ran a 5k.  During our run, we saw some free rabbits on the side of the road... Abigail begged to have them.  So we went and picked them up after the race.

This one is oreo.

 And this is Butterscotch.

 Carly was student of the month for her class, and I had to sneakily take her picture for it, so I just took one of all the girls so no one was suspicious.

witches night out

We had the best Activity Days night!  We had a Mom and daughter Halloween dinner. We ordered our first course without knowing what it was.  We had to to eat many things without utensils... the girls thought it was hilarious, and somewhat difficult.  

I love that all three of my girls are in activity days together, and that they have the best leaders ever!

St. George

Ben was going to go to St. George to golf with my brothers and Dad, so we packed up and went with him.  We swam, ate, visited the temple, visited Brigham Young's home, hiked Dixie Rock, visited the botanical gardens, ate some more, hung out at the library, and went to a fun park.  Such a great weekend together!

 It was the first time the kids have eaten at Texas Road House and they loved it.

 We asked a man to take our picture at Brigham Young's house.  This is what he got... and he told us it was a good one. 

 Luckily we found someone a little better at picture taking.

 The kids loved Dixie Rock the most.  They had lots of fun running everywhere.

Leaves

I used to play in the leaves from the same tree.  Isaac loves going next door to Grandma and Grandpa's to play in the leaves, they get so many!
