Thanksgiving and December fun

 

We went trick-or-treating with our friends!

Warmed up with someone's bonfire and homemade root beer!

Counting the haul!

Avery and Kendall have been coming to the gym with us on Saturdays.

My parents came for a visit at the beginning of November to celebrate my mom and Reagan's birthdays.
For my mom's birthday we went shopping at Down East and my dad bought us matching dresses.


Kendall helped me make mom's cake!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Then it was Reagan's birthday!

She loved having gma and gpa here to help her celebrate!

Very excited about her Stanley.

And her electric scooter!

Reagan had her birthday party at Coconut Cove - in indoor play place.

Our new blinds for the basement I ordered came in the mail and Tyler installed them.

They look so good!

Avery and Reagan in their matching skirts.

Couldn't find Sawyer after church and found him helping put chair away.
Good job Sawyer!

Kendall started a new painting class and is really liking it.

Reagan is such a character.

Heading out on our drive to CA!

12 hours later we made it!

Went to the Jelly Belly factory.

Sawyer and Beau liked playing mario party together.

We had a great Thanksgiving feast!

We saw Moana 2 in the theater.

And played games.

Went to San Fransisco for the day.

Avery tried the clam chowder in a fresh sourdough bowl from Bourdin with me! She loved it!

We also got an ice cream from Ghiradelli!

Me and Kent on the beach with Golden Gate bridge behind us.

The kids loved the water even thought it was freezing.

Golden Gate Bridge!

Next was Kendall's birthday! 10! woo!

She asked if we could get facials together so we went to the local beauty school and got facials for 10 bucks. She loved it! haha

Kendall had a huge party with 12 friends. It was a crazy night. I'm glad she has so many cute friends.

Santa pancakes with our new waffle maker from Grandma Engstrom!

Reagan helping me shovel snow. We've only had to shovel this one time so far. We need more snow!

Making a gingerbread house

Doing a 1000 piece puzzle Grandma Chandler sent us! 
We did it all in one day!

Reagan really wanted to make treat plates for some of her friends. She wrote them cute notes to put in with their treats. Such a sweet friend.

Fall fun

 

Got our hot tub up and running! We love it!

Celebrated Tyler's birthday!

Got him some new Goodr sunnies to replace the ones he broke when he wrecked in Peru.

I finally checked out the u-pick raspberry patch near out house on the last day of the season.
We were definitely picking the dregs but they were significantly tastier than store bought. Definitely going to go next year in prime season (they have blackberries too!)

Went exploring. So many beautiful leaves right now!

Reagan's favorite are the pink ones.

Tyler's hospital had a doctor day at the American Heritage center.
We got to do the train ride.

And pony rides!

The weather was amazing. It's been a beautiful, warm fall.

They had food trucks and everyone got to pick what they wanted for dinner.
Then we had a big picnic with our friends!

Check out that view!!

Did the corn maze

Bailey turned 2.
We made her a string cheese cake lol

I've played 3 seasons of rec volleyball in a women's league since we've moved here.
Our team has gotten better every season and it's been super fun!
Tyler came to the tournament at the end and took some pictures.

Went on a fall hike/run with a friend. So pretty!

Tyler made a house call to a friend. Baby split his lip and Tyler glued it back together.

The city of North Logan does a pumpkin walk every October. 
People decorate scenes using mostly pumpkins.
It's a super cute community event and fun to see all the creative ideas.

Lots of photo ops at the end.


I bought a road bike!
I'm signing up for a half Ironman race next May with my brothers.
Never road biked before, but it will be fine, right?

Stopped to take a pic on the way to tumbling because I thought the railroad tracks were pretty.

Bailey napping with her stuffy on my legs

The girls all cozied up in bed reading.

Great Grandma Chandler came to visit us!

She came with us to the Trick or Treat street event at the rec center.

We've got a devil, spiderman, mermaid, and zombie.

The sunset was unreal that night!

Drawing lessons with Grandma.

She treated us to Chick Fil A before heading to the airport.
She gets around pretty good for being 81!

Typical Reagan

The 6th grade earned a trip to the pool if they had all their assignments turned in.
Avery's teacher sent me pics of Avery swimming.

Fun with friends!

Dressed for the ward fall festival.
Reagan changed her costume to "creepy doll"

Last primary program for Avery!
All 4 kids did their parts so well!

We drove down to Salt Lake to have dinner with some of my cousins.
My cousin's HOA heats this pond so the swans will stay there all winter.
Sawyer kept calling them big ducks.

Cousin get together!

We went to a Harry Potter event at a local library. They gave us donuts and had us sit in the Great Hall while a magician did some tricks. Then they had lots of other fun carnival type games, Harry Potter themed of course. 

Halloween tomorrow! The fun just keeps on coming!
