Family Pictures

We took family pictures in November. It is always a little bit harder to take our own picture, because Drew is our photographer. He has to get it all set up, and then hurry into the picture. It also makes it hard for the kids to focus, because it's just dad taking their picture. But we managed to get two good photos on our first try.

Spring Mountain Ranch

In October, we took the kids to have a picnic dinner at Spring Mountain Ranch. The kids loved just running around on the big open field and playing with each other. It was such a nice day outside, and the kids had a lot of fun.

I just think this picture is funny. How do kids sit like that?

Teagan is such a nice big brother.

Halloween

Since Halloween was on Sunday this year, our ward did their Trunk-or-treat on Saturday. They did a dinner and then had lots of games inside for the kids. Afterwards, we went outside for the trunk-or-treat. The kids had so much fun dressing up. On Sunday, my parents had the kids trick or treat from one bedroom to the next. The kids were so excited to run from door to door to see what kind of candy and prizes they would get. I think this is the only picture we got of the kids in their costumes.

Summer Activities

We kept the kids really busy this summer by doing all kinds of activities. We took tours of the Highway Patrol Station and Albertson's with our ward. The boys also visited the dentist for cleanings and to get cavities filled. We visited the Lied Discovery Museum and the Natural History Museum. The kids went bowling and to Chuck E Cheese's with their cousins. They were definitely not bored this summer. It was fun to do all of these activities with grandparents, cousins, and lots of friends. Hopefully next summer we can keep them entertained as well.
