November

In November TJ had an interview in Fallbrook, Ca. They flew the whole family out. The kids and I got to stay an extra week! We had so much fun. Before TJ left, Nana and Papa took us all to Disneyland. Sophie was in heaven! She wore her Sleeping Beauty dress and Nana bought her a tiara. She met Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Jasmin, though she didn't seem very happy about it. I'm just glad she got to meet them because when we got there they said that the princesses were busy with filming the Christmas parade and that they would likely not be available for pictures. I was livid! so, I'm glad everything worked out. Thanks Nana and Papa for finding them!

Halloween

Sophie was a cupcake princess thanks to Aunt Angie and Liam was Superman. I will be so sad when these Superman jammies don't fit anymore. We went to Brett's ward's trunk or treat and got loaded with candy and we went to our own trunk or treat and got loaded with candy. Good times!

October

 In October I tried to take the kids to Sears for a photoshoot for their 1st and 3rd birthdays. Between ornery children and a horrible photographer I left, holding back tears. We came home, kids went to bed and I laid on the hammock. When they woke up I set up a background on Sophie's crib and shot a couple pictures. Then my friend Nicole went with us to the park and we took a few more (on a different day). These were the best we could get! I think they are pretty cute. 

We invited Dami (one of the residents) over to help us carve pumpkins. She had never carved a pumpkin before so it was pretty fun for all. Sophie made a princess castle and Liam made Lightening McQueen. I like how they turned out. Dami said she would have to continue to carve pumpkins so i guess she had fun. 

We also went down to Brett and Nancy's house the last weekend in October. Nancy works at a pumpkin patch so she got us tickets to go. It was huge! There was a fairy tale land, petting zoo, train, petal cars, corn kernel pit, air bubble jumper thing, and I'm sure plenty more. Sophie still talks about it. She always says, Have fun at the pumpkin patch!

Great Wolfe Lodge

In July we met Tj's brothers Travis and Brett and their families in Kansas City, Kansas for a little vacation to the Great Wolfe Lodge. It is an indoor water park. We had a great time!
