October Overload

I apologize for the long post! I TRY to blog once a month so when I do I always feel like I'm cramming everything in. So I'll try and not be too wordy.


We were able to go out one last time on the boat with some of our best friends before they move to Washington. The weather was beautiful! Too cold to ski but it was a gorgeous night and we had fun hanging out on the boat and fishing.

The Wassoms. They were one of the first families we met down here. It was crazy because Neil and Brent served their mission together in London and so they already knew each other. I quickly became friends with Orendia and we've had so many good times with this family. Not to mention that Cole LOVES their two boys. We are going to miss you Wassoms!


The sunset that night on the lake was absolutely gorgeous!

Even if we didn't catch anything fishing.


And Neil and I with his brother and my sister and brother went biking up behind the Draper Temple. The ride was so pretty and fun once you got in the mountain deeper and the view of the temple from here was awesome.

Neil and his brother Austin.
See it is pretty deep in the mountain even if my family and I are retarded and can't figure out how to pose for a pic.

Neil and I also celebrated our 6th anniversary this month. I woke up to this cute yummy note from him. And Neil's not big into the big mushy stuff (and let's face it neither am I) but I love you more than anything babe! Happy Anniversary!

Cole went on a field trip to the big red barn with his preschool class that Korver and I got to go to too. Here's Cole's cute preschool class.

He got to pick a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, go on a wagon ride, and find his way through a maze.
They even had a cute miniature red barn that I took the boys picture at.


And what's October without caramel apples? YUM!


We went to a Halloween carnival where Cole got to meet a pirate on his boat, go on rides and play games. Although Cole was pretty scared of this boat and was off as quickly as he got on.


We also had our 2nd annual pumpkin carving party with a bunch of Neil's co-workers and their families.
And I was too enthralled with carving my pumpkin that I forgot to take pictures again! At least I got a picture of the mess. It's amazing how messy 20 people in one house can be.

And Cory is always willing to give me a good pose. Hard to believe he's a father of 4.

On Halloween poor Neil was pretty pooped from working so much lately that he crashed on the couch. So Cole took the liberty to dress him up all by himself.


Cole's Halloween party at preschool. He's at the very end.



Here we are right before trick-or-treating. I vow that next year I will have a better costume!


Cole is quite the ladies man. He already has 1 girlfriend but when he saw Ali all dressed up as a pumpkin princess he just couldn't resist her. I caught these two holding hands walking towards the playground. Taryn and Sadie are going to be heart broken!

And I celebrated my 27th birthday this month. Ahhhh!!! 30 is going to be here before I know it.

Neil was so sweet and made me think that my family wasn't coming down for my b-day. But they surprised me instead. And here is my newest nephew. Check out his hair! It naturally goes into a foe-hawk! It's awesome!

Look at this cool Halloween cake Neil made me. I wish he had more time cuz I'd make him do the boy's birthday cakes as sadly he would do a much better job than me.


And last of all I spent a late night with Korver in the ER this month. I was removing my nail polish and left the cap off the nail polish remover bottle (go me) and sure enough Korver came over thinking a yummy blue drink was just sitting there for him and started drinking it up. I couldn't tell how much he had drank because so much of it had spilled but I called poison control and they told me that if he had drank even an ounce it could be trouble. So they told me to go to the ER which I did and they monitored him for a few hours but luckily everything was ok. Whew! So there's my parenting moment for the month. :)
