October in review

After our trip to Utah, it was a month to catch up on stuff, and we stayed busy, and I got sick (for nearly 3 weeks now...but getting better). Here are a few highlights.

During October break, the kids and I went to a little farm. It was hot and dusty and smelled like cows. We didn't stay long but the kids like to pet the horse and goats.

Dad is awesome and fun. He slept out on the trampoline twice with the older kids. Apparently it gets kinda chilly at night. I love how they all end up in a heap in the middle.

Megan is cruising around everywhere. She is growing up too fast for me! She got her first tooth on our trip to Utah (September 30th to be exact) but that's it so far.

Speaking of teeth, Katie lost her first tooth! She was so excited!

The older girls and I went to the school fall festival. One highlight was the human hampster balls. Cuz everyone wants to be a hampster, right?

Katie can hula hoop 2 at a time. I had no idea. She is learning lots at school.

And Breanna can do 2 on her arms, while walking. AMAZING!

Becca and Breanna had a little piano recital in the mall. They did a great job!

Halloween was fun! Here are a few pictures of our 5 little pumpkins...

 

 

 

 

 

(Sorry that last one is so dark. Richard was trying to get cool shots of the jack-o-lanterns but Jonny wouldn't hold still!)

Here's our kids (minus Megan) and cousins Emily and Kacy before hitting up the neighborhood for candy. In case you can't tell (from left to right), Kacy is a rainbow fairy, Rebecca is Hermione from Harry Potter, Jonny is Thomas the train, Katie is Agent P from Phineas and Ferb (lots of comments on her costume!), Emily is Rapunzel, and Breanna is a fairy princess.

 

Here's a family picture from our ward party. :)

 

And we can't forget a shot of our cutie pie, Megan, who got lots of "Oh how cute" comments as a pretty flower.
