We made it to California

We made it to California and went to Corona del mar beach. We had fun playing in the sand and water. It was a little cool that day so not a lot of playing in the water

Cute candid shot that Max took, Jake is threatening to dunk me next.

It was a beautiful beach. I love all the houses on the coastline

We had a lot of fun. Kate did not like the seaweed, but loved  gathering seashells. Max and Nick had fun digging in  the sand. Now off to our next adventure...Disneyland!!

November...

Grandma and Grandpa Sutch invited us to spend Thanksgiving with them in St. George. We had a really good time, swimming at the pool (even outside it was so nice), playing at the park, hiking on the red rocks, eating good food and having fun with the cousins!

Snuggling watching a movie

Nick and Kannon teaming up to get a treat. They pushed the chair to the counter and Kannon held it while Nick climbed up for the TREATS!!! Thats what friends are for!

I get the top bunk!

I think Nick is going to join the circus when he gets a little older, maybe this summer....

Playing in the drawer is one of his favorite!

Halloween

For Halloween this year, Jake took on a big task and made Halo armor for Max and Nick. It was really fun when people(mostly teenagers) knew what they were, especially The grunt Nick. We had a lot of fun at trunk or treat and trick or treating. Nick loved getting a load of treats.

Mermaid Kate!

Fall

Kate went to the Jr. Vikette Drill Team camp and got to dance at a Viking football game half time. She did really good and had a lot of fun doing it. We made it to quite a few football game
this year. Max loved going and playing with his buddies.

I was such a proud mommy, maybe one day she will be the drill team president like me ;)

Nick loved playing football and running down the hill.

For fall break we went with the Bullock's to Logan for a little get away. We ate good food, and more good food, went to the pumpkin walk, the Zoo(because Jake loves the Zoo), and of course the Gossner cheese factory and pepperidge farm store.

The Bullocks

The kids playing behind the hotel. There was a little stream and they found a cool hobo camp?!?

We stopped for lunch at Granato's and had a picnic and played at Liberty park.

Kate's class went to Hee Haws on a field trip. This was her first time on a school bus and she loved it. I was one of the mom's that went and helped and I had pretty good kids. We got to go on a hayride, find a pumpkin in the patch, look at the animals and of course play on the slides and hay jump.

You have to have the picture with the giant pumpkin

Max played flag football again this year and had a lot of the same boys on his team again this year.
