Trick or Treat!

The kids celebrated Halloween over the course of two days this year. Brooklyn dressed up as a princess and Beau was her knight! On Friday they had a huge party with Veronica and all of their little friends. I was so happy to see that instead of giving them lots of candy as a treat after the games they were able to pick prizes instead. When they came home they told us all about their fun day and showed us their bucket full of toys! On Saturday we went with Cody's family to the 'Trunk or Treat' at their church and headed over to Grandmas afterward. They are still getting the hang of the whole trick or treating thing but I think that after next year they will be pros!

We love Sundays!

Sundays have always been a great day for us. It gets even better when fall comes around because we are huge football fans. The days are spent lounging around watching all of the games on TV and eating yummy "football" food.

Today we started off a little different. Beau has been asking to go to church all week. I don't know what made him bring it up but he insisted that church was fun and he wanted to go. This morning when we woke up I told him it was Sunday. He asked if he had to go to Veronica's and I told him no. Then he asked if he could go to church so I said of course! Brookie not wanting to be left out joined us.

The twins did great through sacrament and decided to stay for primary. Cody and Jenie were so nice and offered to bring them home afterward. As soon as they arrived it was non stop talking about what happened and how they want to go back tomorrow!

After the kids got home from church, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Jacks for a quick visit. They made a huge platter of chicken nachos and we watched the second half of the Bronco game. I'm a huge Denver fan and Bryce will cheer for anyone who is playing against them, I'm happy to say that the Broncos won and are now 5-0.

Sundays are a GREAT day!

Utah Visit

We had a great trip to Utah and we were able to see lots of family/friends. Our schedule was full, as always, but we did manage to sneek in a few relaxing afternoons. The kids enjoyed spending time with their cousins and all of their new little friends in Copperton. A few highlights of our trip included:

• Celebrating 4 birthdays!! Madison (Bug) ~ Mark ~ Tim ~ Todd
• Making a trip to the farm where the kids fed cows and rode a horse.
• Having dinner with the Bailey family (and met their newest addition for the first time).
• Bryce playing golf at six different courses.
• Going to the beach at Daybreak Lake.
• Going swimming and taking several trips to the park.

We have more photos - I just need to upload them so keep checking back :)

Colin's Visit

Colin drove up from La Jolla to spend a few days with us. He and Bryce played golf the first night and went out for a second round early the next morning. Beau, Brookie and Cassius were so excited to have him here, they didn't let him out of their sight. It was a quick trip but we enjoyed having him at our house and can't wait for his next visit.

Our little fish

Beau loves to swim. He will climb out of the pool just so he can jump back in. We had originally thought that Brookie would take to swimming more but he proved us wrong. Everytime we go to Grandma Vera's he goes out to inspect the pool, even if he knows that we are not there to swim.
