End of October

 I made this cute pumpkin at Young Women's.  I am not much of a crafter but this one was a good one for me.  Cut with a saw, glue and paint one color.  I sure love spending time with these girls, they bring so much joy and excitement into my life.  They teach me about friendship and being the kind of people God wants us to be. 

 Pumpkin carving was on the driveway this year and without Dakota.  He was over at Gavin's, which is pretty normal for him.  We missed him though.  We didn't do our annual carving with Brent and Lisa and family this year because we needed them carved for FHE with the entire Weston Family.  Instead we did a donut night at Lisa's, it was delicious.

 We headed down to Primary Children's hospital on one of the boys days off of school.  I feel like they are constantly out of school!  Anyway, we handed in 13 quilts and they were very excited to have them.  One doctor passed by and grabbed the batman one right off the top for a special patient that needed it.  Brax worked so hard and really accomplished something great, I believe.  He is such a great kid and really changing into a man.  The pic of us we weren't aware it was happening so we look terrible, but I want to document we went together with my mom.  After, she took us out to the Lion House in Salt Lake.  It was delicious and we had a nice visit.

 Leaves, leaves, leaves.  We have been up to our eyeballs in leaves these past few weeks.  Lots of work 15 years later when we planted cottonwoods.  The boys love to make piles and jump in, for me the leaves bring a lot of work but I sure love to see the leaves bring them so much joy.

 We played pickleball at bishops house one Saturday with my side of the family.  He fed us lunch and we played a few rounds.  It is a really fun game.

 My little hobo.  He came up with this idea all on his own and I think he looked great!

 Cam got to leave school early on Halloween to trick-or-treat at aunt Mauri's work.  He got a ton of candy and had fun with his cousins.

 Cara, Ridge (werewolf), Dakota and Cameron. We ran the neighborhood chasing the candy and loaded up as usual.  Tara walked around with me as we chased these kiddos from house to house.  Then Cameron came home and separated it with Tara to count his loot.  Tara is always such a good sport and a great aunt.

 Braxton and Dakota spent the evening at Dallas and Joyce's house putting on a spook ally for the kids.  They had a great time scaring people including me.  Alayna was in charge of the teenagers and I took the little kids.  I think I got the easier job if you ask me.  This is Whitney Weston and Braxton in the medical room.  He was the dead patient and she was the nurse.  Dakota jumped our from behind the shed dressed as a zombie.
