The Whole of October!

So I've been busy, okay? But I've got a minute and my pictures are actually downloaded for once so here is October:

First, Zach and I went on a fabulous date to a masquerade ball dressed as ...can you guess? Probably not....

This was our Anne Shirley/ Gilbert Blythe look- yeah?

We went with Kobi and Dave with their fantastic costumes-

Westley and Buttercup of course!

This was the back of my hair that I thought turned out pretty good. :)

Next event was a trip to Salt Lake to Dr. Poff's house... Kobi and I are both good friends with Emily from our singles ward and she did a great job of hosting us AND our crazy kids for dinner and pumpkin carving... the blocks were a big hit!

Here's the kids building 'traps'

Weston, Kobi, and Emily and our lovely pumpkins!

The next thing was a PROJECT... for Young Women's one night, we had every single girl there, and they each made a pair of PJ pants- yes we were there until 9:45 BUT they all finished them! I figured if the girls could do it that fast, I could make some too. So I made some for me and my boys- they were fabulously easy and the boys love theirs!

September and October are also the months of BIRTHDAYs in our family... here are the cutest:

Little Lydia turned 1! Of course she partied at Chuck E. Cheese and had the cutest ducky cake...

Jessica, Liesel and Bella all turned 2! They were all just babies!

Take a good long look at this next picture:

Because this is the last time you'll see our silver Impala... Zach took it for a check up and the man said it was on it's last leg. So what did we do? We bought a van, of course! That night, actually...
I don't have a great picture of it, but to celebrate we took it on a little trip to Park City with our friends, the Turleys. Here's the best I've got:

If it looks familiar, it's just like every other white van driving down the road- in fact, it's exactly like Kristi and DJ's... yep, we're just copiers (and we got a great deal!)

While in Park City, we got some great deals at the Outlets, went to lunch, and hit every art gallery along the old town streets. It was a fun afternoon! This picture is us with the Turleys outside the Kimball art gallery- it had the coolest display of LEGOS I've ever seen!

Okay, next up : Halloween...
