Trunk-or-Treat

Trick & treating was a pleasant day & evening as the kids enjoyed parties at school, a jack o'lantern pizza dinner & walking the church parking lot in search of goodies.  Stephen dressed up as GI Joe while Emma chose to wear last year's Sleeping Beauty princess (I don't think she knows that she can change costumes each year).  At the end of the night I HAD to check the kids candy bags - as all good moms do - and picked my favorites.  There goes my diet.... :)

Wheeler Farm in the Fall

 Fall break brought us to our favorite go-to place - Wheeler Farm.  We took the kids and spent a few hours taking a tractor ride, walk through a maze, pick out a pumpkin in the patch & of course feeding the ducks.  It was a beautiful fall day with clear blue skies & pleasant warm weather.

My scary monsters!

City Creek

Before leaving Utah we had to check out the gorgeous new shopping experience in Salt Lake City - City Creek.  This is an amazing "mall" (too fancy to be called a mall but that is what it really is) that spans two sides of the street.  Beautiful fountains, the creek running through the mall, incredible shops & stops at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory & Disney.

October Priesthood Session

Stephen's been attending priesthood sessions since he turned 8 (mostly for the reward of eating out :)。  Each time we take a picture before he & dad take off.  I think we could see Stephen's growth from each picture we take since he was 8.  He is looking forward to turning 12 & receiving the priesthood.

Scheels

This is a new & amazing sporting goods store in Sandy, UT that opened end of September & we just had to check it out.  Chances are that we wouldn't buy anything (we think overpriced) but fun to visit.

1st Days of School

 The big 6th Grader! :)  He knows the first day of school drill.

 Emma has been waiting so patiently for Preschool to start!  She woke up ready to go.
