October craziness!!!

Getting ready for Halloween! Jon couldn't wait to wear Hanna's wig! Ha, that didn't last long!

She didn't like that very much.

Canning!!! I've only ever done applesauce so this was an adventure for me. I live in this awesome neighborhood where all my friends seem to know how to do EVERYTHING. I was feeling like I should get on board with the whole canning world and try it. Turned out to easier than I thought. I still have my applesauce to do but they'll keep till the craziness of fall settles down.

This is what happens when Hanna gets my camera :)

She seems very happy with her work!

Grandma's house for Halloween!

Well our leaves pretty much stink at our house...or lack thereof so we head to grandmas house for the leaf fun! My kids love it. I guess it's the novelty of things so new. Full grown trees and being allowed to get dirty :)

Hanna was Little Mermaid of course, Hunter was Darth Vador and Bridger was Nacho Libre! He had awesome tights but found out too quickly that if he pulled hard enough, he would get his finger through them.

He had ripped a HUGE hole by the time we got to my moms. We wen't through 3 pair this month. Jordynn was a peacock, Easton a Pirate, and Kyler was Indiana Jones!

Bubba trick or treating! That mask was not staying on long. At least he'd leave the cape on! And oh my, we have SOOO much CANDY. A Brown grocery bag filled to the top. Having 3 trick or treaters, really brings in the dough ( as Jon would say!)

The whole gang! Cosette was Katara from Avatar, which she made! We have a Harry Potter, Darth Vador, Mario, A dead Pirate and Little Mermaid! Best Buds!

The Halloween Parade! A new experience for Hanna! She loves school so much! She hates Saturdays now because she can't go to school. Thi s was a dream for her!

Halloween morning! Didn't catch a picture of our traditional Halloween pancakes but that's our fav. tradition! They were pretty excited to go to school. Now we just have to eat all that candy. So much for trying to cut out sugar in our diets. Maybe that will be our New Years resolution!

Fall 2011

Saint George Marathon 2011! Every year we go to St. George and squish everyone into this little condo.. It seems to be getting smaller! Jon and dad wake up around 3:30am and head to the buses to take them to the start of the race. We wake up about 4 hours later and drive to the finish line for pictures and cheering!

Dad comes in for high 5's and Jordynn jumps into his arms!

Jon's sprint to the finish!

By the end, we are all exhausted. Not quite as much as the runners though!

State Fair

Hunter's Bday party with the Forman family!

Oops I think we grabbed the swimming suit that will fit next summer!!!

Okay I had to post this picture because it's Jon's favorite! He likes the bulging muscle!

Hunter's new "Sweatsuit!"

Boating one last time! It was freezing but we had to take it out.

Last picture of the water till next summer! I have to say, I'm excited for fall and winter this year.. Maybe I'm just really excited for all the fun parties and yummy food that comes along with it. I cannot stop baking!!!
