October

 

we made a stop in Logan to visit Keenan on our way! It was so fun to see his house and all of the renovating he has done. He made us pizza and we played for a bit before we hopped back in the van.

We went to Utah a week after we moved! We almost didn't go, with all of the unpacking and organizing we still needed to do. But we decided if we didn't go that weekend, we probably wouldn't go at all this year. It was a nice break and so good to see family and friends! I took the older three kids and met Mandy Hixson and Erin Heckaman (my college roommates) at a park to play. So good to see them and their cute kids!

We stayed with Stephen and Alainna. We were able to be there for Nathan's baptism. It was so great to see what Alainna's day to day is like. We loved going for a walk with them!

Tyson and Oliver

we went to McDonald's after watching Nathan's soccer game

road trip! Not my favorite thing but they did pretty well.

Papi came to watch Benson play soccer!

Janelle and Brandon came to visit!

we had a halloween party!

Annika and Benson made us lunch! :)

Grandma and I love going to the Goodwill Outlet in Pasco together. They sell things by the pound and it's a little sketchy in there. haha We wear latex gloves and look through all of the bins to find our treasures. I've found a lot of great clothes for the kids, books, shoes, and a post slammer for David (which he was actually looking for!). It's a big warehouse. Every few minutes, they bring out new bins and take old ones away.

we went back to 3rd ward for their talent show. The kids sang Gethsemane. They were also part of a little play based on the little blue truck book.

Adam and Emilee came over for dinner for Jacob's bday. 

I had to do this before I cut his sweet baby hair! :)

David and Scott Harris holding their babies at the soccer game :)

Benson was so fun to watch this season! He's become more aggressive and understands the game better. He scored a lot of goals! It was fun to watch him pass the ball to his teammates often too. 

stormtrooper Esther!

we took out the small wall oven and cabinets so we could have a regular range oven. Next up, installing the microwave. We hired someone to remove the old cabinets and install everything. 

all the things with Tyson's hair before I cut it :)

I love this little pots and pans band!

There is a stove top in the middle of the island. This is the biggest reason we're getting new counters. Can't wait to get our granite!

We went to an awesome Halloween dinner at Crystal Zurligen's. Sooo fun! We didn't know anyone else really. But it was fun to do something unique and so well planned by the Zurligen's. 

David had a spot at the high school career fair. He's so cute :)
