No More Monkeys Jumpin' on the Bed....

Two little monkeys jumpin' on the bed,

One fell off and bonked her head,

Momma called the doctor and the doctor said,
NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPIN' ON THE BED!

So instead we'll play under the bed:)

HALLOWEEN!!!!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Over the years Jer and I have enjoyed dressing up and hanging out with friends. This year we were able to enjoy everything about Halloween with our kids. I wanted them to enjoy the season as much as I do but they are still a little young to understand. We had a great weekend starting off with a party with friends. Jer and I were Bella and Edward. You might not be able to tell from the picture but Jers chest had glitter on it. We had a lot of fun at the party playing games and enjoying adult conversations. Saturday was all about the Lilos. Unfortunately Landon hated and I mean HATED his costume. He is crying in most the pictures that I have of him. We went out and trick-or-treating to friends and neighbors, but the kids were done early so we didn't get very far. All in all it was a great Halloween.

Our cute Pumpkin patch.

Out trick-or-treating.

Sorry it's blurry, none of the boys wanted to hold still. Landon and Puerquito are both bumble bees.

Carving Pumpkins.

This is the first year that we have carved pumpkins since we have been married. Over the years we would go to my parents and help the nieces and nephews carve pumpkins, but never carved any of our own. Last year we had just had Landon and Leah so carving pumpkins was the last thing that we were worried about. I think that I was the one most excited about carving the pumpkins. Landon and Leah's "fun meter" was maxed out after about 5 minutes. They were more interested in the eating the seeds and dumping the guts out of the bowl. We ended up putting then to bed and finishing the carving while they were asleep. Maybe they will appreciate it a little more next year:)

Notice no pumpkins just spoons and guts.

Pumpkin Patch.

We went to a little Pumpkin patch here in the parking lot of the mall. It was not much, but we it served its purpose. We got to pick out some pumpkins for the Lilos. They seemed to be more interested in the straw covering the ground than the pumpkins themselves. It was probably good we didn't travel half the day to go to a real pumpkin patch because the kids "fun meter" was maxed out after about ten minutes. The pictures below captured all the excitement.

We had just got there...not so sure.

...still not sure.

Playing in the straw.

The bug showing us the straw.

The pumpkin had to have a face for him to be interested.

She's cute.

UTAH!!!!

We were able to go to Utah this last week. It has taken me two days to get all the posts up, and there is still a lot more I could post about, but this will do for now. We were able to celebrate the lilos first birthday, go horse back riding, visit the zoo, attend the temple, play with cousins, and enjoy the beautiful fall mountains. It is nice to be home in our own beds, but I miss family a ton.
Lovin' the cousins

Flying the plane.

Catching bugs.

Horses, Dogs, and Dirt!

Cute Lori let us come up to her barn and check out her new puppies, ride the horses, and make some ghosts out of suckers. The lilos loved riding the horses. I was surprised because they hated the carousel at the zoo. Maybe they just like the real thing.

LuAnns Head stone

We were able to go and see LuAnns headstone while we were there. Lynn picked out a beautiful black one and Mer did a really good job with the flowers. It was weird not to have her there. we all miss and love her.
