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.
Whitings:
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!

I think that you seriously have the cutest kids that I've ever seen! I love that they dressed up Gabe! That's so funny that they don't start crying until the camera comes out! My boys have always done that too! Adorable costumes!
