Shupe's hosted a very fun Halloween Party at their house. It was so fun to have Steph Ellerbeck in town (missed you Nick)!
Dustin and I went at Batgirl and Robin if you can't tell.
Costume Parade
The grandkids all looked so cute in their costumes (except for Dane because he was a spooky dementor) that we had to go on a visiting parade. First stop was Grandma and Grandpa Allred's house.
Then we went to visit Grandpa Taylor at his office downtown.
Elphaba (Abbey), Sam (Nacho Libre), Dane (dementor), Ian (Batman)
Then, on the way home Uncle Adam sat in the car with the kids while I ran into the grocery store. He must not have been paying attention to what was going on because this is what I found when I got back. Yes that is gum in Ian's eyelashes! Some caregiver Adam is! I hope my kids accidentally cut Logan's hair one day while he is in my care. Revenge is sweet :)
Pumpkin Carving
Our family pumpkin carving night was complete with soup in pumpkin bread bowls.
Ian chose to paint his pumpkin.
Dane carved his own masterpiece.
Dustin consolted Google to get just the pattern he wanted.
Finished products!
The Cool Older Brother
Dane was able to make a guest appearance at Ian's school as a Royal Reader. Boy did Dane feel special being able to read 2 books to Ian's class. He read so well and the class sat and listened quietly. When Dane was in Stephanie's 4's class older siblings of kids in his class came as Royal Reader's and it was a BIG deal. So for him to be able to do this for Ian's class is pretty awesome.
When Dane and I came back to get Ian there was time to play. Ian and Abbey LOVED Dane pulling them around in the trailer.
Happy Birthday Grandpa Taylor
HaPpY BiRtHdAy Grandpa Taylor!
October 16 was my favorite father's birthday. We surprised him by showing up at Stein Erikson's in Deer Valley (where he and my mom were staying) for breakfast. My dad is great and I love him so much. And regardless of what he thinks, I did listen to at least 83% of what lectured me on while growing up.
Dane and Ian love to wrestle with him. Dane enjoys golfing (or just driving the cart) with him.
After the birthday breakfast we hit the Park City dirt jump park for some fun. The kids LOVE this place! It is pretty entertaining to watch Ian ride his scoot bike with no brakes and feet up down the jumps.
Dane is a good little rider and LOVES catching big air.
One Beautiful Sunday
We have enjoyed the most beautiful Autumn this year and we have spent as much time as possible outside. One beautiful Sunday we hiked to Cecret Lake with Grandma Sherrie and Grandpa Taylor. It is a really nice, easy hike with a beautiful reward at the end, Water!
After the hike, Dustin, the boys and I went to the last day of the October Fest at Snowbird for lunch and activities. The kids begged to do the alpine slide and bounce house and we all had a wonderful time. I love this weather.
Halloween Decorating
HaLLoWeEn Time is here!
We had fun decorating the house and porch over the weekend. In one of the decoration boxes there was a Haunted House Gingerbread Kit that I bought at the end of the season last year. The boys worked really hard together eating and decorating. The finished product turned out really cute.
Everyone has decided on their costumes this year. Dane wants to be the joy sucking Dementor from Harry Potter, Ian wants to be Batman and I want Dustin and I to be Lego's (either the blocks or the funny people). Now I just need to get started finding, buying and/or making our costumes.
The Fabulous Weather
We have been doing quite a bit of biking in this beautiful weather. The kids rode up the Freeze Creek trail. It has a nice, easy climb and then a fun down hill.
I have mountain biked with some girlfriends a few times. We have done the Mid-Mountain trail in Park City, Dry Creek, and Solitude.
These old cars have been made into jumps at the end of the Bobsled Run off of the Dry Creek trail. Wish I could say that I got some sick air off of them, but.....I didn't. I prefer to keep both wheels on the ground.
