October

Conference weekend! I went to Salt Lake with the kids. We meet Timber and Ace at Temple Square. We went to the new Children Museum, for 2 hrs. Was with Timber for 20min, my kids were tired and hungry. One good thing, I did a wonderful job of parallel parking went downhill from there. On the way home from SL I got SOO very lost. I got lost find food, and finding the freeway. When I finally found the freeway I went north. Took me over 2 hours to get home. I am never driving to SL by myself.  We need to start making conference weekend a bigger deal for our kids. 

Trujillo ran the St. George Marathon the Saturday of conference. He said that it was the hardest thing he has ever done but you would not know that by the pictures. Amy’s came Sunday and he could barely walk. WAY TO GO!!

Ok a few funny stories. I told Denali that daddy got to ride the train. He said “ya daddy for pooping. Go daddy.”

We went to Timbers to go swimming in her hot pot. I had promised the kids that we would go swimming when we went to SL but got too late this was make up. Timber got us lost too. 

We took the kids on a Halloween River boat ride. It was ok at best. My kids are not huge fans of the whole Halloween thing. We went to a new chines place before and Colvin got the fortune, "Someone who deserves special attention awaits your magic voice" Magic Voice is key.

We took a Family Vacation to Las Vegas. It was so relaxing even though Colvin got sick. We went to the strip once but mostly we just swam, ate, and hung out in the Hotel room. We went to a buffet for 2 hours. Something kind of funny; In St. George and Vegas we went to Costco for gas and the lines were unbelievable 20+ min wait. My kids were so happy to be home. More space to run and they love being outside.

There is a pumpkin patch called Jakers in Springville. I took the kids a few times. At time the weather was ok but once it was freezing.  We went once as a family to go through the corn maze. The giant corn pit was the kid’s favorite. Colvin would only go down the slide if I took him. Denali was sad the first of November, since Jackers was no more.  

Greg and I tried to go on a date for 2 weeks. Once Colvin threw up. Once we were at the park right before we were leaving and Colvin fell and got a really bad bloody noise. We went to a Hunted Attic when we finally got to go.  The before and after pictures tell it all. I scream the whole time. Poor Greg had bruise on his arm from me holding on. Sonya watched the boys they had tons of fun. We forgot Denali's blanket so he was still awake when he picked him up.  

McCarty found out that she is having a boy. They told us on skype. It was a blessing that we were even able to skype because I got the lab top power cord that day. I had guessed right!!!

Denali went to the dentist and has 2 cavities He did so good, we practiced dentist to prepare and it helped.

I had Sonya kids for 2.5 days. Wow, getting them all ready and in the car by 7:45 was a challenge but we made it. Then we watched Savanna's Halloween praised. My kids were Yoda and Young Anakin Skywalker. Getting Denali to look at the camera and Colvin to stop was a joke. I took lots of pictures for Sonya. Then we went to Greg’s work party he was so happy to have it over with. He had done a wonderful job. The main issue; part of it was outside and it was so cold. Sonya came to our house to trick or treat. We all dressed up, I was Princess Leia , Greg was Obi one. Our kids were so tired that we did not trick or treat very long, but we still got a ton of candy. 

WE LOVE EACH OTHER!
