I'm not really sure where the last two months have gone. Time just flies by. We have been busy with life and have the pictures to prove it!
First, we went to our one BYU football game for the year. It was the Utah State vs. BYU game which turned out to be a big bummer. We sadly saw the quarterback get injured which led to a Utah State victory and a lousy rest of the season (so far). :( Regardless, we still had a fun time, good seats, good company and it actually wasn't too cold.
The first couple weeks of October weren't too exciting. We didn't go anywhere for Fall break because Nate had to be out-of-town for work. We spent the Saturday of Fall break cleaning in preparation of getting our upstairs carpets cleaned. Sadly, I managed to get a large sliver in my hand while washing our dining chairs so I ended up at the doctor to get it removed. It ended up getting infected so I had to take a round of antibiotics. It still took almost two weeks before it finally started to heal after I pulled some more of the sliver out a week and half after the doctor thought he got it all. It was gross!! Here we are in the middle of November and my skin is finally looking more normal. Crazy..
The end of October I got to take a quick trip out to visit my sister Aimee, her husband Brian, and my favorite little buddy Richard in Tennessee. It was so fun to visit them and have a little vacation from motherhood. Nate played Mr. mom and was exhausted when I got home. (so much that he ended up sick with a cold for the next two weeks) It probably didn't help that he stayed up really late for a few nights building shelves in our storage room as a birthday surprise for me! He started working on them the day I left and finished up just before I got home. We painted them and moved everything back in. They are awesome! With extra space for more stuff!! :)
My little buddy Richard. Such a handsome guy! Wish they lived closer!!
Super Cheese from me, but it was the best picture we got. :)
Another new adventure we had in October was going to see the new Warren Miller movie. Nate found out that you could get day ski passes from a couple resorts if you bought tickets and went to the movie, so he bought tickets for all of us to go (5 free ski lift tickets). It was fun, but we only got to see the first half because it was a school night and probably wouldn't have gotten over until after 10. Nate and the boys are excited to ski this season!
We ended October like we do every year with Halloween. The kids costumes this year were VERY simple. Liam wanted to be Link from the Legend of Zelda, so he used the costume I made for Gavin last year. Ashlyn got a cute BYU cheerleader outfit from her cousin Lizzy so that's what she wanted to be. Gavin just wanted to be something scary, so he came up with creepy mask man. We all went out trick or treating in the balmy 60 degree weather. Ashlyn didn't last as long as the boys, but still came home with plenty of candy. Yuck.
We are in the midst of our November birthdays month. So more posts and pictures to come!
