October 2016

General Conference fell on the weekend starting October 1st, which meant that's when we updated our 72-hour kits. The kids love doing this as we watch conference, because they get to snack on everything that we remove from the old kits!
Russ took the kids on a few Teryx (and dirtbike) rides this month... here are some fun pictures they took:







 Abby and Davis finished up the 8-week preschool program that they did through the Town of Gilbert. They loved it! We took the next 8-weeks off and will probably sign up again next semester.

 Abby loves her aunt Suzy and sometimes I think that she wishes she lived with Suzy full time. She has spent the night with her a few times lately and also took a fun bike ride with her one morning!

We took a day trip up to the Flagstaff house during Fall Break - Abby had fun climbing on the dirt pile while Ellie and Noah hung out underneath the house doing some work for Poppy...
 

I'm sure it will be fun someday to look back on these pictures of what the cabin looked like before being completely built.

While we were at Discovery Park celebrating Noah's birthday, Russ helped Abby try to ride her bike without training wheels. She had been asking for a few weeks to do this - although she did pretty well, I think she's still too little!



 
 

Abby had a blast at the Halloween store with me!

Posing at the pumpkin patch...


Abby attending a fun Halloween Party put on by Klorissa (Kozie's mom)... she was such a cute Minnie Mouse!






 We got to babysit Ivy one day while Danielle took Clark to the doctor. We had so much fun with her and Ivy loved swinging in our backyard!

Carving / painting pumpkins for Family Home Evening!



We had Davis over to play and this is what him and Abby did... I think it's a 3-year old's version of fort building while watching a movie!

We got pedicures one day with Abby's friend Ellie and her mom Vannie... perfect size seat for some cute little girls!


Cute sisters Abby & Sophie!

We had a girls' night out to celebrate Sophie turning 12! We went to Red Robin for dinner, then we went to her school carnival for a few minutes and picked up Roxy who was working at it, then we went shopping at SanTan mall. We ended the night with some Dairy Queen and had lots of fun together!




Trunk or treat night!



Noah's priesthood ordination with lots of family there!

 Halloween Night, Abby was in character!


She liked passing out candy even more than trick or treating!
