Happy Halloween

We love Halloween and are so excited to go trick-or-treating tonight! 

Spider DJ to the rescue.  

Biker Alex

 The brothers really do love each other!

 The cutest duo ever!

I don't know how I got the cutest boys ever, but I sure did!  I taught DJ the saying, "Trick or treat, smell my feet. Give me something good to eat."  They are ready to go to the Halloween party tonight!

October Family Dinner

Our monthly family dinner was so much fun.  Hilarie and Bret really went all out!  We had a huge feast and played fun games.  We got into four teams and played some Minute to Win it games.  We enjoy getting together and always have so much fun when we do!

Happy 'late' Birthday Grandma Alice

 My grandma Alice's birthday was in September and my mom set up a great birthday gift, we cleaned up her yard and got it ready for winter.  Grandma has a gorgeous yard, but it is a lot of work that she can't do all by herself.  My parents have been going over at least once a week to keep it up. 

Kailee and Alex helping clean.

We had a great time being together.

 The boys topped off the trees.

 We did a lot of raking!

 The boys had fun helping and playing too!

I am so grateful for such a wonderful family!

Go Jazz Go

  We had so much fun at the Jazz game! We figured that we would be in the rafters since the tickets were free and we were right. It was fun watching the game, but my favorite part was watching my little boys having so much fun!

We brought binoculars for the boys to help enjoy the game.

 DJ loved sitting by himself and cheering as loud as he could.

It was fun spending time with grandma Sue.

The boys loved the treats too.  DJ would grab huge handfuls of cotton candy and shovel it all in his mouth at once.  It was hilarious to watch!  To say the least, they were hyped up on sugar!

I love spending time with my family!  

I am glad that the boys are able to have these fun, memorable experiences!

Pumpkin Time

 Kurt and Shaileen grew some pumpkins in their garden and they generously gave two to us.  We decided that it was time to make them jack-o-lanterns.  The boys were really excited to get started.

DJ enjoyed getting out the pumpkin guts. On the other hand, Alex didn't like touching the stuff.  He hates getting his hands dirty.  He got a couple of seeds at the top out but that was it. 

Fall is a fun time of the year.

We Love Daddy

 We went to Daybreak the other day to take some pictures of Kurt and Shaileen.  We arrived before they did so we took the boys out to run around a little. 

 They love tackling daddy and . . . 

 

giving him kisses!

Our boys sure do love their daddy!

Story Time

 We have been going to story time at the library lately.  It has been fun and this time we even got to make a lion to take home.  

Inside Fun

 We had more inside fun.  We love playing with play dough and we tried painting in a bag.  We brought out dinosaurs and cars to make tracks in the play dough.  It is was really fun seeing the impressions they made.

Creating and Cousins

 We got the play dough out and the boys loved it. DJ kept saying he was making something for Brie, so cute!

Later Grandma Sue and Grandpa E invited us out to watch our cousin, Brayden play football.  The boys love football so of course we went with them.  We took our footballs and had fun seeing Brayden play.  During half time Kailee took the boys out and played football with them.

Scheels

 We wanted to hang out with Shai today since it was her last day off.  She suggested we visit a new store, Scheels.  Kurt didn't miss out in the fun, he had an short day of work and joined us.  We had so much fun there.

After you walk in there is a huge fish tank.  There are 3 pillars that connect at the top.  It was fun to see all of the tropical fish.

 

 They have lots of animals out so you can take your picture with them.  It was fun to get up and personal with so many animals.   

 The boys liked all of the football stuff, especially the huge fingers!

 They played with golf club covers too.

 We also honed up on our boxing and shooting skills.

 We also played a game of bowling.

There is also a ferris wheel inside the store, but Alex was too short to ride it.  Maybe next time.

Who knew a store could be so much fun. 

Tracy Aviary and Liberty Park

 Mondays are wonderful days because with the Pass of all Passes the Tracy Aviary is free.  We haven't been in awhile so we decided today we would head out there and see the birds.  For the first time I  let the boys out to play in the exploring section.  They loved it!  There are all types of tools that act as different beak to show the kids what different beaks do. After spending some time at the aviary we walked around Liberty Park and found a small playground and they played for awhile.

We are loving this cooler weather.  We hope it lasts a long time because we are not done going on outside adventures.

Puzzle Time

 When did my babies grow up so fast?  These two are so smart!  They really enjoy playing with each other.  We got out the puzzles and they did so good finding where the pieces fit.

Alex had a lot of fun taking the pieces off then seeing the matching pictures.

 

 DJ was able to figure out where each piece fit and rotate them to fit in the exact spot.

I have two smartie pants!

Football Time

  The Utes played on their home field again so we got to go watch them.  We love going to the stadium to cheer on our team!  The boys were excited and looking forward to going all day.  We had decided to take them to two games this season while they are still free and this will probably be the last game warm enough for them to go.  We had a great time and the boys did really good considering they are only two years old.  I am so glad that the boys love football and that we can spend time as a family watching the game!

Everyone all decked out in Utah gear ready for the game to start.

 Mommy and her boys at the game.

 Daddy with DJ watching the Utes.  (I forgot to take any of Alex with Daddy)

 It was a late game and got a little chilly so the boys were all decked out in their gloves and hats.

 

 These boys LOVE football!

We were sad that the Utes lost, but it was fun watching them play and cheering them on!

Witches

 We went to Gardner Village to check out the witches set up for Halloween.  We had seen the witches briefly when we went on a walk a week earlier and knew we had to go back and spend more time. 

This witch is making a magic potion.

 Grandma Sue, Kurt, and Shai came with us to enjoy the witches.  We love spending time with family!

It was fun to see all of the different witches. There were so many - camping, kissing, putting out a fire, flying across the sky, and so many more!

 

I sure love my boys!

 

It was fun to see all of the pumpkins they have set up everywhere.

 

We love Halloween time...

 and spending time with family.

Copper Mine and Park

 We went with some friends to visit the Copper Mine.  We had a lot of fun seeing the big trucks!

That's a gigantic tire!

 It was fun seeing the things they use to mine.

 Inside the visitors we saw some trucks, rocks, and minerals.  It would be a perfect place for little boys if they let them help dig in the mine!

After we went to Copperton Park.

 We got to run and play and have fun with our friend.
