October

In October, David and Mason flew to UT for BYU's Homecoming.  We were all planning on going, but Garrett and Kate got married two weeks later, so we saved our plane ticket money for that :)

 

 

A stroll down memory lane: Freshman Academy where we met, my old apartment where David would meet me every morning to walk together to campus, Grandpa Theron Yates' old house, David's childhood house.

 

While Mason and David were gone, we had two friends come stay with us for the weekend, Macky and Mo, while their parents were out of town.  We went to the gymnasium, a pumpkin patch/birthday party, church, watched movies, and made lots and lots of treats!

 

 

 

 

 Garrett's Wedding!  So beautiful, so happy for the handsome couple, and so fun to be there to celebrate with family.

 

 

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

 

 

Other fun things: We went to the Fun Farm pumpkin patch a few times as a family, and they had a giant corn pit, a corn maze, pumpkin donuts, carnival games (Mason and David were awesome at the sledgehammer challenge!), playgrounds, a big stage, a carousel, etc.  Kate learned how to ride her bike without training wheels!  David and his partner, Matt Russel, had a fall party at the Russel's farm and the kids got to ride a mule.  Mason participated in flag football, and he liked it well enough.  His coach would yell quite a bit, but Mason learned a lot about the game and played with his friend, Keaton.  We also did the Halloween activities and trick or treating at Worlds of Fun.
