Frisco Festival

We went to fire safety town to go trick or treating on Friday.  We went with the Buie and Clark families.  It was a long line, but the kids enjoyed themselves.  Evan wanted to be a fire fighter.  He refused his power ranger costume.

The other ones loved their power ranger costume.  Each time they passed another ranger in line they would pull down their mask.  

The kids got tattoos and colored and loaded up on candy.  We all had a good time.

Turner Falls Camp

We had a great team meeting up with friends and camping in Oklahoma.  We loved the park.  We loved the food, and we love the our friends!  The minute we got home the kids asked when we were going to camp with everyone again.

We hiked to a little cave.  We had to get down to crawl in.

Inside the cave we could stand up.

We had lots of fun climbing on rocks.

The Falls were pretty.  We hiked up the a castle as well.  I didn't get any pictures, but the kids enjoyed the all the stairs and secret passages in the castle.  The kids loved exploring. 

We even went swimming.  It was soo cold!  Michael and I both had to swim to the water fall and check it out.  He later slipped off that rock.  Ron, our friend was really adventrous around the water fall.

Fall Fun!

We headed out to the Aboretum pumpkin patch.  It is so fun!  We went after it had stormed so we had the place to ourselves for a bit.  

Dallin isn't a fan of getting his picture taken, but when he takes them he looks good.  :)  

Leah is becoming so pretty.  My kids love to fold their arms for pictures.  I have no idea where that came from.

I love all of the different kinds of squash they have.

After the Arboretum we watched Curious George Boo Fest movie.  My kids loved it.

We went back to the Arboretum with the Clarks!  It is so fun to see the little ones interact and play.  We had a great week!

Showing off and eating pumpkins is what my kids do.  

After it stormed at night I ran a half marathon on Saturday.  It was fun!  My friend came down from Oklahoma to run it with me.  We all did great!  Jenny and Elise got their best times!

Busy weeks

Michael has more wood projects he is working on.  Leah went to help him at Home Depot. She loves hanging with her Dad. 

We had Grandma and Granpa West come for the weekend.  I didn't take too many pictures.  We were having too much fun I guess.  We were grateful that they came for a visit and were able to here for Michael.  

The kids had a great time and they love Grandma's Kindle.  

Dallin finished his first chapter book.  He did great!  

On Thursday evening we had a wicked storm blow through.  The storm was fast but with 90 mph winds it left damage.  We lost power for 33 hours.  The kids enjoyed running around with flash lights and eating pizza for dinner.  We had perfect weather after the storm so it wasn't too bad without power.  I was just worried about my food.  We saved it with ice and not opening up the fridge and freezer.   We didn't have damage in our yard, but the neighborhood has some trees down and powerlines.
