Fall Break

I had Amanda's kiddos one day over fall break and we had fun playing Halloween games, making pumpkin rice krispies, and coloring pumpkins.  The kids had fun playing together and it was a good excuse to try out all those fun pinterest finds!

Logan- didn't care to decorate his rice krispy, he just ate it all!

Daniel

McKay- too intent to pose for a pic

Gluing skeletons with q-tips and white beans- the girls got into it, the boys- not so much!

Silly Logan

Logan cracks me up.  He doesn't say much (or basically nothing...) but he sure knows how to get what he wants.  If he is hungry, he'll open the cupboard and pull out food.  If he's thirsty, he'll drag a chair over to the cupboard and get out a cup.  You get the idea- independent kiddo.  One night Logan didn't eat hardly any dinner then went to the cupboard and tried to get the crackers out.  Of course I am smarter than that and the crackers were up high out of his reach so instead he pulled out all my lasagna noodles...I was getting after him for making a mess all over the floor and he stands there and stares at them spread all over the floor.  He looks at them for quite a while then turns and runs to his toys, gets his Thomas train, and comes back to the noodles.  He lines all the noodles up and starts chugging along!  Who knew lasagna noodles could make a great train track?!  He is a smart kid!

 

 Watch out, here comes Batman!  What a cute silly guy!

General Conference & Payson Temple

McKay had fun trying to find all the speakers for general conference.  We had a pretty intense game of "Don't Eat President Monson!" (also known as Don't Eat Pete).

Logan didn't really care for the game but he loved eating the marshmallows and goldfish!

We had a Halloween Party at Grandma's one night at watched Hotel Transylvania- it was pretty cute!

Angel Moroni being put on top of the temple!

It was neat to see them put him up. We had heard it was going to be that morning so we watched from the deck with binoculars all morning til we saw a shimmer being lifted with the cranes.  We raced over and got there just to see him being placed on the top.

Me and the boys watching

 

There he is!

It was a cold, rainy day so we were glad the weather could clear up for a minute while we watched.  After Angel Moroni was on, it started raining again.

Family Pictures

Katelyn got a new camera for her birthday so I offered a plate of cookies if they would take some family pictures for us.  The did a great job and I couldn't choose just one I like, so you get a lot!  Enjoy!

Thanks Katelyn & Steve!  I love them!!
