Trick or Treat Smell my Feet

We had a lot of fun trick or treating this year. Kelsi was a witch, Gabriel was Indiana Jones, and Victoria was our Sweet Pea. We started off the evening by going to the neighborhood trunk or treat, it was packed, there was cars up and down both sides of the parking lot and the back. The kids made a haul just there. My favorite part was our bishop serving up churros and hot chocolate, yummy!!! We then headed out through the neighborhood, the kids had a blast, Kelsi could have gone all night, and Gabe got a little scared of monsters once it got dark and wanted to head home. We had a lot of fun and both of the kids bags are completely full to the brim for our candy enjoyment! Enjoy the pictures of the kids in their costumes. The ones of Tory are blurry and not the best, she did not want to cooperate!

Funny kids

Well the kids said a couple of good ones again.

Kelsi as we were on our way home from the gym.
Kelsi: "I'm hungry, what are we going to eat for dinner"
Me: "Dad cooked us dinner tonight"
Kelsi: "Oh man, when we get home our house is going to be on fire"
Me: "Why do you say that"
Kelsi: "Cuz dad cooked and he's not a very good cook"
Me: Laughing all the way home


Gabe as I was watching Dancing with the Stars, we were watching Derek Hough and Brooke Burke.

Gabe: "What are they doing"
Me: "Their dancing, do you want to dance?"
Gabe: "No, but I want her to hold me"
Me & Jeff: Lots of laughing!

Crunch Crunch Crunch

As I have been walking Kelsi to school she has been so excited to see all the leaves changing and all the fun fall colors. She was telling me that her favorite sound in the whole world is hearing the crunch crunch crunch sound of the leaves as she walks on them. So she has been very anxious for the leaves to fall off of our few little trees so she could make a "big" pile and jump in it. She has been watching out the window and watching the few leaves on our little tree out front fall off. So when our friends the Moore's got out their rakes on Monday morning and started raking up all their leaves Kelsi was over in a heartbeat. She ran and jumped and threw leaves everywhere. She was so happy to finally have her favorite sound all around her! I stole these pictures from Makele (thanks Makele) and wanted to show you how much fun they had. I love that these kids are able to play together and have so much fun!

Trappers Loop

Saturday afternoon me and Jeff got a break and got on a nice date. We took a really nice motorcycle ride up Ogden Canyon and over through Weber Canyon. It was gorgeous! The temperature was perfect and it is so much nice to be ridding on a motorcycle through all these places then in a car. We got a better better look at all the scenery. To top it all off we found this fun little cafe snuggled into the trees and stopped for hot fudge sundaes. I forget my camera, but I found some shots of what we saw via google images.
I have got to say there is something so nice about being on a motorcycle together, it is so much easier to leave the world behind and just enjoy the ride!

Portraits

I took the kids in to get some pictures of the three of them together, here are some of the shots

Pack's Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday Amber and I decided to take the kids to this fun pumpkin patch. They had this super fun hay maze for the kids and I think they played in it for at least an hour. They had a blast getting lost in it. Best of all it was free and fun for the kids. It is not to long like the corn mazes and there was nothing scary in it! Next they had a scarecrow exhibit with fun pictures pose moments for the kids. The sun was not cooperating with me as I was trying to take the pictures! Then we got to go pick out the perfect pumpkins! Here are some fun pictures of our outing.
