Where did October go?

Why is it already the middle of November?  I am not ready for the holidays yet!  October was busy but so much fun!  We packed in a lot so here is how it went...

The first weekend was General Conference.  Here is how Danny and his dad listened to conference on Saturday...

 I LOVE that I have two nephews named Max and they are only about a month apart.  This is Max on Danny's side.  We went to his party after conference.  So stinkin' cute!

 General Conference on Sunday just relaxin' with grandma...

 The next weekend we went and played some frisbee golf...perfect weather...

 I am the activity day leader for the 8 and 9 year old girls in my ward.  One of our activities I taught the girls some PE games that I know and we played with the parachute.  Memphis and Kayzee had to join in on the fun too...

 Love this toothless grin.  We have been calling Memphis our Memph-O-Lantern all month!

 We have fall break in October.  Danny has an elk tag down in Blanding and we really want some more elk meat in our freezer so we headed down to Blanding for 4 days during our break.  While Danny and his dad went hunting me and the kids spent a lot of time exploring Blanding with grandma.  My kids love to hike and I love that we can go hiking and exploring and everything is close by.  First white rock...

 One day we went to the library and we found elephant and biggie books...yay!!!  Memphis' favorite!

 We had a fire one night and made dinner and s'mores...

 Love Kayzee's expression...

 It was the orion meteor shower while we were down there and Blanding is perfect for star gazing!  We all got on the trampoline...even grandma and grandpa joined us!  We tried to take a family picture but it was way too dark and the flash was way to bright.

 More exploring...this was right out in grandma's and grandpa's back yard we hiked out to see the beaver dams...

 I won't rant and rave too much about this but let's just say I have been dealing with a leaky ceiling for the past 10 years in my PE office and it is just getting worse which is ridiculous.  It is literally a waterfall of water sometimes.  It is ruining my stuff (my own and my PE stuff) and no one seems to care.  Ok I am done venting...

 One day we finally decided to carve these huge pumpkins that Grandpa Royer grows in his own backyard.  It took over 2 hours for Danny to clean them out and carve them but the kids love it.  We made Memphis clean is out.  He was not too excited as you can tell by the look on his face but he did it!

 Kayzee dove right in...

 Kayzee wanted to be Elsa again for Halloween and her old costume didn't fit so she got another Elsa dress.  So pretty...

 Memphis had been begging to be Luigi and I should have bought the costume the first time I saw it because by the time I got around to actually getting him one I couldn't find one anywhere!  He finally decided to be a wizard/magician...

 Super Auntie Nita came to our ward Halloween party with us...

 Danny does not like Halloween can you tell?

 Witch!

All ready for school on Halloween and yes we did survive having Halloween on a Monday!

 Love that my kids go to my school so I can see them in the school Halloween parade!

 Trick or Treating around our neighborhood...

 My sister Alicia and her baby Max.  Max is wearing Memphis' old pirate costume.  So cute!

 My other nephew Max came trick or treating with us...Ninja Turtle!

 Call me crazy but I decided to start another round of 21 day fix on Halloween (my favorite eating and exercise plan).  I wanted to avoid the candy so this was how I was going to do that.  My first week went amazing!  I did not have any candy or junk food or soda all week even though I was surrounded by it!  I will post my results in my next blog post...
