October Happenings Part 2

So going on with the month of October... This month Kinley turned 9 months old. She had her Dr appointment and is doing well. Our Dr. was a little shocked that she wasn't crawling and told me that we really needed to start working with her on that skill. That was all he really had to say, beside that she is going to be a really pretty girl when she is older and that her fiesty stubborn vigor will come in handy for when those boys start coming around. LOL! Also new news for her is that I can finally put her hair in pigtails! These pictures are from the first time I did it. she only had enough on the sides to do. Isn't she adorable?

 The last week of October I had the wonderful opportunity to take my two kids with me to my sisters house and watch her 6 kids plus my two all by myself. It was an eventful week and I really enjoyed that time I had with my nieces and nephews. They were great kids and Porter and Josh became best buds that week. They had the time of their lives jumping off couches and building fires out of pillows toys and blankets. And as you can see in the picture they had fun being silly little goofs at lunch time.

I came back Friday afternoon and got settled in and then later that night we went to a pumpkin carving contest with a bunch of our friends. We had a great time just enjoying great conversation and laughs at well..mostly my pumpkins!

 But it was a great night and we had fun! Then the next day was Saturday Oct 30th. Since Halloween was on Sunday this year we went Trick-or-Treating on Saturday evening. It was fun considering it rained on us the whole time we were out there. We maybe went to about 10 houses. But we got some great candy! Porter was Elmo and Kinley was Zoe. The two BFFs! How cute! Kinley didn't much enjoy her hat because it tickled her face, but she loved her necklace and tutu.  Porter wore his Elmo costume all day and had fun being Elmo. I was a Woopie Cushon. It was fun to dress up, even if  I did get soaked out on the hunt for great candy.

So that was our wonderful month of October!!! Looking forward to posting about the month of November... You don't wanna miss it... Big stuff coming your way!

October Happenings Part 1

Well this month has been so fun filled I need to divide the post into different parts. The beginning of the month started out just AWESOME! We went down to be with families the first of the month over conference weekend. Patrick scheduled his 3rd CPA exam Friday in Lindon so we stayed with Grandma C that day and then Saturday we went up to G&G Munsons house. They so nicely took care of our children so we could go to the Saturday morning Conference Session and then to Zupas for lunch right after to make it a little date. We really really enjoyed conference and felt the spirit so strongly when President Monson stood up for his opening remarks. The kids loved being with their Grandma and Grandpa. Even if it did take about a whole night of warming up to do. ;-) haha. We enjoyed being with family and love the time that we spend with them. We know that time is limited and we treasure every moment of it.

Then we came home and that next weekend Patrick and were invited to a Murder Mystery Dinner Party.  So that week leading up to the party I was super busy making our costumes! It was crazy and hectic, but lots of fun! especially seeing them in the end and how they turned out. I was a maid and Patrick was the butler, who  got killed off during the mystery.

Then we had a weekend to do whatever and then the next weekend I went on  a girls night retreat to Wolf Creek with my neighbor girl friends. It was lots of fun and totally beautiful up there! I stayed up til 5:30 in the morning and woke up at like 11AM so not a lot of sleep, but we enjoyed the hot tub and the talking! Something I don't get much as a S.A.H.M.
