October

Wow- this post is HUGE!  I think there are about 100 pictures here!  I should've broken up the month of October, because there were quite a few events that happened!  
ALL the pictures were uploaded BACKWARDS!  So we are starting at the END of October and toward the beginning.... so here it goes.
HALLOWEEN!  
Ty was Bumblebee the transformer.  Emery was Elsa.  Brinley was Snow White.  
We went to our friends, the Austin's house for trick or treating.  They had fun going with their friends!

 Emery LOVED her snowflake face paint and jewels!  She looked so pretty!


We had the annual pumpkin carving contest!!  Ty's entry below was a day late, so he wasn't placed.  
 I'm happy to say I got 2nd place with that grim reaper.  Paxton's with the tree and pumpkin got 3rd. 

 We went and ate lunch with Ty on Halloween!  It was lots of fun!!!! :)  



 Emery's dentist office did this Frozen Halloween Bash where the staff dressed up as Frozen characters!  They were all there, and Emery was so excited to meet Elsa!  That's her dentist!
 She also got her face painted of her favorite thing lately... a unicorn!  Who knew?!












General Conference time!!!  Last minute, I decided to print out a couple fun things for the kids to do while listening to conference.  Conference Bingo.  And we set out a table of puzzles, coloring books, other games, and snacks for them to do while we sat quietly and listened.

 HAPPY 8th ANNIVERSARY to us!!  We celebrated by going out to a nice steak house!  Yummy!  



Sassy girl crossing her legs.  




 EMERY turned 4 years old!!!
We threw a Brave birthday party! We had some yummy food, played some games, danced to Brave music and Frozen music, opened presents, and ate yummy cupcakes! 


 Before this hacky sack toss, the girls had to go through Mordu's lair - a little tunnel we made in the garage.  Paxton was in there with our huge stuffed brown bear and would growl and jump out at them.  They had to follow the wisps to each games.  
 Walk across the board ... "limb" 

 Shoot an arrow on the target
 And they came back inside, made bear claw necklaces and ate cupcakes!


 Witches punch!!




 

Emery....  she loves to get a hold of my phone and take pictures!  Of anything and everything!  Here's a few selfies..



 I went to the school and ate lunch with Ty!  We get to sit at our own separate table!  So fun!


Pumpkin patch!!  The kids loves this place!  If it weren't so HOT, we would've stayed a bit longer.  But we were still there for about an hour! Picking out pumpkin, running through the hay maze, jumping in the bounce house, playing sack toss, and riding in the wagon!  

















One night I wanted to do something really fun with the kids.  We decided to do a scavenger hunt...  I wrote down a list of things we had to do and we broke up into teams.  Mom and Em, Dad and Ty and Brin.  We went to the mall and took off on our hunt!  I didn't post ALL the pictures but we took a picture of each thing we had to do.  This wasn't the full list.. there were about 10 more things.  The kids had SO much fun!  We will have to do this one again!  





















Again... here are Emery's photography skills!!!





 Yaya took Emery to the American Girl Store where she got to pick out a doll and an outfit... all for her birthday.  Then we ate at the bistro upstairs for dinner.  It was SO much fun! And the food was surprisingly REALLY good!  Emery was in heaven!  She loved it all!





 More from Emery's party.... these photos are ALL out of order!!!  Oops!!










 This is her American Girl doll and matching outfits! :)
 On Emery's birthday, she got a donut cake for breakfast!


 Ty is sad.. he is sad because he doesn't get presents or prizes on Emery's birthday.  It was a rough couple weeks after her birthday because he really felt sad and left out.  Poor guy.

 Emery is tall!!  Look at that!  2 1/2 inches taller than Ty was when he was 4.


 Sweet Ty... brought acorns home from recess at school for his collection, and brought flowers home for me... dandelions... all wilted and dead. :)  Cute sweet boy!!  
 I make green smoothies a lot and Brinley LOVES them!  She always steals my cup!














Ty's Kindergarten picture!  What  HANDSOME boy!  Love him!
