Fall Festivities

 There is not a much better time to live in Utah then in the fall, in my opinion, the leaves are changing, the air is crisp and there is so much to do and see. We started it off with a hike to donut falls. We brought Jesse's parents and cute sister with us. I of coarse got us lost, but when we got there it was a blast. I feel like his family only gets to see the shopping stores when they are in Salt Lake so it was fun to show them the mountains for a change!

 Our cute gangster Maverik sure loves being outside too.

One of Jesse's first trips back to work was a trip to Jamaica in a hurricane. His company is the only company that decided to fly there all the others cancelled. I wasn't too happy about him going, but he said it was actually fine. LUCKILY!

 Bodee's first time to the dentist. He was a rockstar and loved it. No cavities! YAY, i'm sure things will change soon!

One of Jesse's fishing trips where he was 2 hours late. Yep, sources say he did a good samaritan deed and changed a tire and helped look for a lost cell phone. I guess when i'm in heaven I will know the truth. JK it is funny that Lexi and Tess know that Dad always gets in trouble when he goes hunting/fishing. Its a good thing I love him and love to see him get to do things he loves. 

 We went down to Park City where Jesse's Aunty Kim owns a cabin and she let us stay for the night and fed us homemade chicken noodle soup. Of coarse the boys had to go fishing and the following two pictures are Bodees reaction to daddy helping him. He sure things he can do it by himself always!

We did some shopping and went to do the alpine slides but our kids are too small. So, we went to the olympic park which ended up being so much cooler. 

These athletes are absolutely amazing. We could have stayed and watched them forever but Jesse had to go to work!

 Oh these troublesome boys love being in the bathtub and complicating my life!

 We carved pumpkins only a few days before Halloween and at Halloween night they looked pretty pathetic, but we had fun anyways.

Kannaraville Falls Hike

This is an incredible hike. We got there later in the day then we had planned and were a little nervous that we wouldn't get out before dark so we made the kids do this pretty hard 5 mile hike fast, but i am so glad we made it to the end. It was amazing and a super fun, adventurous hike.

There were several places for long periods of time that you had to walk through the water and it was freezing cold. Our kids were troopers, even miss Tess who doesn't do the cold well.

Tuckered us right out!

These boys are starting to get along a lot better now. And Bodee obviously loves his little brother.

Our St. George, Halloween gettaway included Staheli Farms which was such a blast.

It was a very smelly, dusty night and my mom was a champ. She has horrible allergies and probably suffered the rest of the weekend!

We had some cheer practice!

This fun evening consisted of playing at the Provo park and having soup for dinner which of coarse I spent so much time on and Jesse and I are the only ones who ate it! Followed by an incredibly cheesy river boat cruise up the Provo river with the whole family!

This is me trying to get all 4 to smile. Never happens!

We are trying to win a kayak at our dental office. How could you not pick us!

Bodees face says it all. Ya he got in a lot of trouble after he dumped all of the fish food in at once and finally ended up killing all of the fish but one who we now call the lone survivor!

I just have to include Tess's bedtime outfits and Lexi's first big top tooth that she lost. She has since lost one more and has two others loose. It's going fast now!

Look at all of the Q-tips on the floor> HAHA

Edge homes put on a Halloween carnival and rocked it. It was amazing. There was probably 10 different bounce houses, free food galore, face painting, pumpkins, princesses, and so much more. I managed not to loose one kid all by myself. I considered myself an amazing mom after tackling that by myslef. It would have been a much easier day if we had stayed home, but they loved it!

Finalized face paint jobs! Lexi and Tess are of coarse butterfly's, bodee chose a mustache and Maverik was good with a spot on his cheek before he freaked out!

Having friends over!

Watching the epic win of the Cubs since 19 somthing! It was an incredible game. Maverik was glued!

Ward Trunk or Treat.

We have an awesome ward and we had a great time with these crazy kids of ours and our fun friends!

Maverik is Scooby Doo, of coarse! Tess is Sara Sanderson from Hocus Pocus

Lexi is a vampire princess and Bodee is Johnnystein from hotel translvania which most people thought he was Donald Trump.

Brandi and Aaron put on quite the show for Halloween full of flying ghosts and spooky noises in the cemetary. Maverik is a freak of nature and loves the scary things!

These pics are out of order and are part of our earlier in the month st. George trip. This new park in tonaquint is amazing. It has the coolest contraptions and you could stay there for hours.

Some selfie action going on here. 

Lexi is the princes and the popstar for her school halloween party

Tess was really feeling the polka dot theme today. Her outfit choices always make me laugh!

My cute boys in nursery together for another 3 weeks. Cute little stinkers.
