Halloween

We love Halloween at our house.  The girls were dressed in Halloween attire pretty much the whole month of October.  Berkley especially loved this outfit that matched her doll. 

 We spent an evening at "Scary Hill" and the girls loved it, especially the spooky wagon ride. 

 Glasses for the shooting game. 
We had our annual pumpkin carving night with the Morbys. 

(Which included jumping in the leaves with Grandma Lisa.)

I'm fairly certain that for every piece of candy that made it onto Peyton's cookie, at least five made it into her mouth. 

And here are the finished masterpieces. 

On Halloween Day we went to Black Island Farms for Berkley's preschool field trip.  The girls always have a blast there. 

The slides are always a big hit. 

Dani and Berkley. 

Everyone but me went down this giant bumpy slide.  (At 27 weeks pregnant it just didn't sound fun/comfortable.)

Halloween was quite warm this year but it was SO windy on the farm and there was so much dust blowing!  That didn't keep the girls from riding the cow train though... Or Zack. 

Then the girls thought it would be fun to have corn in all their crevices. 

Check out those smiles. 

We even went on a wagon ride around the farm, tasted their fresh cabbage, and picked out our own pumpkins to take home. 

Then it was costume time.  Peyton chose to be Cinderella and Berkley wanted to be an Elsa butterfly (which is basically just Elsa with wings.)

A silly face and a curtsey. 

Sassy princess poses. 

 How many two-year olds do you know who can pull off a bun like that? 

Berkley was super excited about her white Elsa hair. 

Peyton has that princess smile down. 

After our ward trunk-or-treat we went down to surprise Grandma Leann and trick-or-treated around her neighborhood. 

This is as crazy as my costuming got.  It's too bad we didn't get a picture of Zack's strange ensemble.  He was going for "white trash" but most people thought he was "Weird Al." 

And here's a video of Peyton singing "Mean Old Witch."

Fall

All the pictures I took this Fall that didn't fit into other posts.

Playing in the rain.  

I'm not sure where this pose came from... 

but it happened again here. 

Zack spent most of his free time this summer (as well as lots of other family members) working on Parker and Rylee's house.  They bought an old home in Logan and completely gutted it and redid everything.  They were able to move in this Fall and it turned out great.  The girls even got to go up and help a couple of times.  This is Peyton installing cabinets. 

"Look Mom, it's a circle with a dot in it.  That means it's target!"  Do I shop too much?

I went on a sister date with Misty to see Florida-Georgia Line, Thompson Square, and Luke Bryan.  The people watching was almost better than the actual entertainment. 

While I was at the concert, the girls went on a date with Daddy. 

On our way to preschool. 

She almost made it. 

 We had to buy some Brigham City peaches.  I froze a bunch for smoothies and made some freezer jam. 

Our raspberries did really well throughout September/October but rarely made it into the house.  This little girl shoves them in her mouth as fast as possible. 

Feeding the llamas. 

Twice.  (Do you spot the temple?)

Playing at Grandma Leann's house with Daniella. 

Watching the sunset over Antelope Island. 

We love October. 

Our green beans were really late bloomers but once they got going they didn't stop. 

Donut.

I bought myself some fun new frames.  Zenni Optical is my new favorite. 

I didn't prepare a family night treat so Zack whipped up a caramel sauce to dip apples in. 

Berkley was in her first primary program.  She did great.  Now it's 4 months later and she still remembers her part: "Some of the commandments the prophets have given us are to pay our tithing and follow the Word of Wisdom.  When we do this we are blessed."

Walking home from preschool.  "My breath is out.  I need to rest."

I got my hair did. 

Our first snow came the beginning of November.  Berkley had been wanting to do snow angels since May so she was excited. 

We found an app that puts makeup on you.  Berkley loved taking pictures of everyone and putting crazy makeup on them. 

My last harvest.  This was our first year doing potatoes and it was a big success. 

She is special.
