November

 I did the 5k Girls on the Run with Julie. Very cold day! Kate had her 8th grade activity. I took the kids to get ice cream after getting their flu vaccinations. Kate had a team building activity at a pumpkin patch with her club volleyball team, and she had a great time in Utah for Luke's baptism!

 

 

Happy 12 birthday, Annie! We took her out to lunch for her birthday, and did a limo ride to PF Changs for dinner and ice skating. We had a friend birthday party to Sea Life and Fritz's. We love our girl!

 

 

 

LHS put on a fantastic production of Phantom of the Opera! Grant started basketball and loves it. Grant and Julie had their fun run fundraiser for school. We went to Tron movie as a neighborhood. Annie had a great orchestra concert, and David has been doing some rollerblading and let me tag along once.

 

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I got to fly out early with the three younger kids to attend a Harper cousin reunion and see the Burley temple open house. David went to a BYU game with Kate and some Yates cousins before meeting us in Idaho for the big day.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

October

Going on dates with kids--I went to a KC Current game with Julie and the library with Grant.

 

Finishing up sports--Mason finished Cross Country, Kate finished 8th grade volleyball, and Grant finished soccer with La Liga. Julie finished soccer with Liberty Parks and Rec a week later. 

 

 

 

 

Julie went to a pumpkin patch with friends, Teddy Gabe and Bo. They've also had fun raking leaves and going on bike rides; I got Julie and Grant new bikes early for Christmas, and I took Julie and some friends to Yogurtini because they got coupons from school. Julie is loving drums, and she had a great PEAK night.

 

 

 

I went to a birthday party for our neighbor, Kate.

 

I took the kids to Fun Farm.

 

 

Happy Halloween! We started off with Liberty Oak's fall festival trunk or treat. The cold rain held off until the very end. Annie and Callie made our trunk all by themselves, and they won first prize!

 

  

We had our neighborhood porch crawl. We carved pumpkins and served hot chocolate, meatballs and donut holes.

 

 

Our ward trunk or treat.

 

Julie and Grant had their Boosterthon Fun Run.

 

Halloween Class parties and Halloween night, complete with our Halloween dinner!
