The month began with a special "ladies lunch" tea party to celebrate Salix and her decision to be baptized. I wanted it to be a big deal because being baptized is a big deal and I wanted my girls to see that. We couldn't go down for the baptism so this was the next best thing.

In the middle of the month (Oct 18th to be exact), we traveled to Roy for Grandma Weaver's funeral. It was beautiful weather and an uplifting service dedicated to a wonderful woman.
 |
| Tori and Laeni were able to select a flower from Grandma's casket arrangement. |
Other happenings in October and the beginnings of Nov:
 |
| Between army crawling and rolling, Sora is making her way around the house pretty quickly. I love it when she sticks her tongue out - I think she may be getting more teeth. She has 2 on the bottom so far. |
 |
| Bry, Jan and Grandma Shirley took the kids to a country fair and they had a blast. |
 |
| Sora's first Halloween, which means first pumpkin carving. She didn't last long as she was WAY too tired. |
 |
| Carving pumpkins |
 |
| Bry and the girls peeking out of their fort. They slept downstairs in the fort all night long. The trees and giant rock (bean bag) were supposed to be blocking entrance to the fort to throw off intruders. |
 |
| Halloween dinner - right before trick-or-treating. |
 |
| Right as we were leaving to go trick-or-treating, our friend Kim happened by and took our picture. 2 Fairies and Mary had a Little Lamb. Little Lamb wasn't wearing her black hood/ears since it was the warmest Halloween in Utah history - or so i was told. |
 |
| The big girls were fairies. |
 |
| And of course my birthday! Celebrated early before Bryan's trip. Bry and his mom gave me a new tea set. LOVE IT! Bry had me blindfolded and had this mini tea party set up to ccelebrate! |
 |
| And last but certainly not least - the pinewood derby. Bry is the one in charge of pack nights so he ran the show. His car is the 2nd from the left - the mouse driving the cheese. This was the only picture I took, but it was cute. Luckily Mr. Mouse wore his walnut shell helmet for protection since some of the cars were jumping off the track! Happy Fall everyone! Love this season!! |
