October

We finished up football. They took 2nd in the Super Bowl

Grandma Young and Grandma Balle

Ivan's teacher came to one of his games. 

I didn't get a group soccer picture so this is one of the team at a summer tournament

Jack did awesome this fall

Grandparents day at school

always room in every month for snuggles with Kate

Parker got married. All the wedding festivities were just a delight. Steve and Jen were here from Idaho. Kristian and Malori were here from Oregon and it seemed like we got to have lots of fun, family time over a couple of days. 

Well I didn't take any pictures of the bride and groom, that was weird of me, but we did snap one of us and the kids while we waited at the temple.

Dawson and Brixton (and baby Soren) belong to Kristian and Malori (mikes nephew and wife) and our kids have SO MUCH fun playing with them. 

Kate, Grandma, Ivan, Jack, Dawson, Emery and Brixton

Kristian is the oldest grandchild (30) on Mike's side so here we have the oldest and the youngest cousin together

After the wedding Malori went to St George for a week to stay with her mom before heading home to Oregon. We decided to take a quick trip to let the kids spend a little more time together. This is Griffen the big white dog

Since we wouldn't be able to celebrate Halloween with them we got dressed up there (that's malori, not me)

 and trick or treated at grandma's bedroom door

fast, but  fun trip. 

We visited the South Jordan pumpkin patch

We had a fun Halloween dinner

carved pumpkins

 Ivan made a cool BYU one. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture Ivan 

School parade

Halloween night. See those cool webs I put up on the house? Man I was so fun this year!!

The kids got oodles of candy. I could see their teeth rotting and their insides shutting down slowly when I looked at how full Ivan's pillow case was. Butlers bought Charlie's candy off him so I asked the kids if they would be interested in that? They were. Yay? So Jack and Emery pretty much traded it all in. Ivan kept a few pieces and then they took their money to target and got a toy. They were actually way more excited about the toy. 

Now, lets get that Christmas shopping done shall we?
