Halloween Week

The week before Halloween was a crazy one! We did lots of fun stuff together and the girls are high on sugar! Katelyn had crazy hair day at school and loved hamming it up for the camera

Taylor had the cutest Halloween program at her preschool. I will have to post video later. She was so excited to belt out her songs she knew so well. The morning of her program she kept saying, "Mom, you are going to be there with your video camera, right!?" She is a girl who loves the spotlight. And she sure did make a cute cowgirl!
On Saturday we headed to the zoo for "Boo at the Zoo". It was so much fun and I think we will make it a tradition. They had tables all over the zoo with people handing out candy. There were tons of kids there all dressed up and it was just fun. Plus the girls just loved being at the zoo and looking at the animals. We loved having Morgan with us as well.

SNOW!

I must say that the first snow fall is gorgeous and it usually melts within a couple of days...BUT why does it have to stay for at least 5 months!? I wish it would snow for December and January and that's it, but I can't change the weather:) I LOVE white Christmas'-they are just so much more magical! Anyway, we got dumped on last night and here is what our yard looks like. The girls were so excited to look outside and see snow! Taylor said, "That means it's almost Christmas!" Not quite Taylor, but it does get us in the mood!

The view from our front door...it is gorgeous living right next to the mountains!

I guess it's time to take down the trampoline and bring in the toys!

Of course Katelyn had to go right out and play in it...I just had to take a couple pics of her because she looked so cute!

Girls of 439!

Once upon a time-13 years ago, my parents dropped me off at Utah State and I was scared to death! Then I walked into my apartment-Merrill Hall 439, and met these 4 girls. We were from different places and walks of life and were very different people. But we clicked. Plus we met eachother at a time in our lives when we were figuring out life and who we were. We lived together for 2 years, and went through a lot together. It's amazing that after all these years, we still keep in touch and when we get together it's just like old times! The last time we got together was in Vegas, 6 years ago...so it was time to meet again!

Last weekend we met in Park City for a fun weekend! It was funny because we ended up never leaving the hotel! We sat there til 4 in the morning for 2 nights talking, crying, and laughing. It was awesome! 15 kids later (2 more on the way), and lots of trials later, it was wonderful to bond and connect with eachother. I love these girls so much and each of them have been instrumental in my life and who I have become. Thank you for loving me and being in my life girls! I love you!

Bobbi, Annie, Tammy, Me and Shanell-Annie made us these shirts with our nicknames on them and we wore them out to dinner-it was a blast!

I haven't taken any belly shots, so here's the first one! Me at 22 weeks...I feel HUGE!

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we headed out to Gardner Village for some festive fun! They have this fun place all decked out for Halloween and there are fun witches everywhere. The girls had fun getting their faces painted, playing games and riding ponies. The weather was gorgeous! (In the 80's) and we want to soak up as much sun as we can because we know the snow is just around the corner! Then after the second session of General Conference we headed back out to a real pumpkin patch. It was fun to go out in the field and pick our own pumpkins! The girls really got into it and were determined to find the perfect one. Taylor found these scarecrows and wanted to sit on their laps. Too cute!
