Ode to October

October had been a fabulous month so far..... This is why we live here, the weather has been perfect. The kids can go outside and play. play, play....while I cook dinner. I love listening to them, not that Millie can talk much but Ryker is so cute with her. They are just sitting and chillin', enjoying the nice breeze.

They love playing in their house.

Yes we ARE and have been excited for Halloween.

Nana loves holidays and always gives the kids a fun goody basket....hence the PJ's.

A little Chuck E. Cheese action.

Conference weekend....The Udall family gathering. Only picture I took. Don't know what I was thinking.

Shaun wanted to take Ryker somewhere fun and the only sport he could by cheap tickets to was the final game of the Phx Mercury.....yes women's basketball. Well good thing the tickets were cheap because Ryker didn't like it at all. Way to loud and crazy for him. So Shaun left early because Ryker was crying and covering his ears. Of course they won the championship so they missed out on the confetti and victory. Sorry Shaun (not that you even watch them)

So if the boys are out playing what does that leave us girls to do......shop and craft of course.

Our Saturdays are now filled with time on the soccer fields. Ryker is making progress and is the youngest on the team. Whenever he kicks the ball, instead of running and trying to kick it again with the other boys. He stops and yells "Mom I kicked it". Oh he is so funny. This is a picture of after the game and they are running back excited for the treat. He runs faster to get his treat than he runs on the field.

Well we are healthy and well and so grateful for for our family. Conference was wonderful and my favorite talk was Elder David A. Bednar 3 things to do to in our home are 1. Express and show love 2. Bear our testimonies and 3. Be consistent. Their were many many things said that I will be working on in my own life.

Haha, Ryker running faster for the treat than the ball! That made me laugh. Way to go Ryker, I'd run after a candy bar way faster than anything else I'm afraid :)

LOVE your hair!! I want to go way dark again. You must tell me who did it and what level of color they used!

So glad it is "outside" weather for you. The tables have turned. It is nearly "inside" weather for us. BOO!

I love little taggie blankets! I was secretly hoping the boy one was for me:) j/k I figured it was missy's. That will be fun to have 2 new babys soon. And yes, it really is better when you can give them back once you are done with your fix.
