November

A couple of weeks ago Jameson had the chance to go to a Monday Night Football game in Denver. He is a HUGE Steelers fan and so is his brother. Our brother in law Tuck went and my brother, Jacen (who is a huge Broncos fan). They had fun and had 50 yard line 5th row seats.

My sister Gina got us some discounted tickets for Disney on Ice and so my mom, my sisters, my niece, and Brooklyn and I went. It was so fun! Macy let Brooklyn borrow her Cinderella costume since her Tinkerbell one would've been too cold and she didn't have any other ones (Christmas!).

Brooklyn didn't take her eyes off the show the whole time. She sat just like this on Grandma's lap. I've never seen that girl sit so still! She told me afterwards that she liked Tinkerbell the best even though she only came out a few times. Brooklyn and Macy

A few weeks later, Jameson and I went on a vacation to Florida! It was really fun and a nice, much needed vacation. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching our kids!

We wanted to go back to Flordia since we went there on our honeymoon and it worked out that Jameson had to go there for work so he extended for a few days and I flew to meet him. We ate some VERY good food, laid out on the beach, shopped, and went to a few tourist attractions. The first was called "Billie's Swamp Safari" where we took an airboat ride through the Everglades. We saw some HUGE alligators-although the pictures we got are of some smaller ones. It was fun though!

I made Jameson pose by this sign. This tour was on the Indian reservation there.

Kind of hard to see in this pic but there's a gator on that log! We saw other ones but didn't get that great of pictures of them. On the way out of the Everglades, we almost ran over this "little" guy!

We also went to Butterfly World. It was so pretty and the whole time at the gator place and Butterfly World I was thinking about how much my kids would love it! Maybe next time! :)

These butterflys were just flying around you-so many different kinds.

I loved these butterflys with the blue wings. This one was hurt.

We went on a boat ride through the canals of Ft. Lauderdale. There are multi-million dollar homes there and HUGE yachts that line the canals. We ate at an EXCELLENT restaurant there.

October Things...

I guess I'm only blogging about once a month now. It has been so hard to get to all the pictures that I have edited and I hate the way that blogger has you add the pics. It is so slow and time consuming that I haven't had a chance to do it. Does anyone have any tips? It's always been like this I just get annoyed at it sometimes and so I stop blogging! Anyway...October things...
Jaxon had a few walking field trips that I went on with him. First, we went to 7-11 and the next one was to McDonalds. It was quite enlightening at both places to go "behind the scenes" to see how they make your food/drink. The kids had fun. We've had fun with the kids doing Family Nights in October. They are all getting so big and really enjoy our exclusive family time. They think they need to all pile on the Dora couch for the lesson. One day while the kids were upstairs playing (too quietly) they decided that it would be funny to dress Gabe up in Brooklyn's clothes. I'm sure it was Jaxon's idea. He was pretty game until I started taking pictures. He must have known that he would hate the pictures in the future! It definitely gave me some perspective on how big Gabe is compared to Brooklyn. Funny.

Jameson finally had Jaxon's 4-wheeler fixed and Jaxon couldn't be more excited! Here he is with his friend and our neighbor Annelise.

For Halloween our neighbors put on an AMAZING party for the kids. It was really so cute and the kids had so much fun! Thanks to those moms that did it!

The kids were really into this book!

After this first Halloween party we had 2 more: the Whiting family party, and the Frew family party.

Frews:

The kids (and adults) had so much fun at both parties! Thanks for all of the fun and goodies!

On Halloween we carved pumpkins...

Brooklyn thought it was really gross to put her hand in the pumpkin and Gabe had fun playing "puzzle" with the eyes, nose, and mouth after they were cut out. Jaxon insisted on doing it himself and he did a good job. At 5:00 we went to our ward's Trunk or Treat. It was so nice that it was warm and the kids got WAY too much candy! When we got home, they wanted to go trick or treating to some of our neighbors' houses and Jaxon thought it would be fun to ride his 4-wheeler since walking would have been SOOO hard! It was pretty funny though and I love these pictures we took of them.

The cutest Tinkerbell I've ever seen!

We had a great month!
