Fall 2013

We really enjoyed the fall season. My boys have a lot of energy  and the weather was so nice we spent a lot time outside. We got a fire-pit and we spent some time in the evenings sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows. Levi does not like marshmallows or chocolate so he would eat the graham crackers plain.
  We went on a walk a couple times a day. Usually once to the park and the other around the neighborhood. Levi has gotten pretty daring on his bike and loves to speed down hills. Makes me cringe every time. He took a couple tumbles and tore his face a bit and got some black eyes.


Playing in the leaves was a big hit. They both loved it. 



We went to a pumpkin patch and picked us each a pumpkin. There was tractor at the patch that Levi got to sit on and we practically had to pry him off it. He would have sat content on it all evening.




As Halloween got closer and closer I realized Adrian would never have time to carve pumpkins with us. So, Levi and I carved his and Malachi's pumpkin while Malachi slept. Levi was not afraid to help clean the pumpkin this year. Levi wanted a bat on his pumpkin. Malachi got a cute face carved into his.



Malachi enjoyed playing with/sucking on his pumpkin.


I never found the time to carve Adrian or I's pumpkin, so they sat on our porch until Christmas. 

I made the boys' costumes this year. I added spikes to a jacket for each of them and made Levi a dinosaur tail. I keep it pretty simple around here. I even made them while visiting my mom in September.






They were both pretty cute in their costumes :)
We went out in style. Levi rode his bike and Malachi cruised in the stroller while we trick-or-treated. Adrian and I were both able to go trick-or-treating with the kids. We headed out around 5 and were literally the first trick-or-treaters out and about. We were out for about an hour before we headed home. We did not collect any candy for Malachi and Levi does not like to eat candy. Levi thought the candy was just another toy to play with, and he loved to line it all up and toss it around. We ended up just giving away Levi's candy to trick-or-treaters who came to our house. 



Our stake rearranged the ward boundaries and we got put into a new ward. The ward Halloween party was the first event we went to with the new ward.



For Thanksgiving we were able to go to Cedar and spend time with my family. We had dinner at my sister Stacia's new house in Kanaraville. We had an enjoyable time with the family and loved being in their company.

We were able to go to the ranch on Cedar Mountain to get Christmas trees. Adrian and I had no way to get a real tree home so we did not cut one down. We tagged along for the outing and had a lot of fun. We built a snowman and had a family snowball fight!!


Cari had her little babe blessed on Dec 1st. She and Neal had a little girl named Cambree on October 28th.


Adrian watches the kids on the days I work and he took them to Brigham City's Peach days. They walked around the temple while they were there.



Levi loves going to the park. We would go there at least once a day when the weather was nice.  He loves to hang on the bars.



We went to Black Island Harvest Days in Syracuse. It was fun, but very busy and crowded. Levi liked the giant slides and corn pit.




All these boys want is to play and have fun!
