BYU

One weekend in November we had a mini family reunion in Provo.  We had such a fun time!

Hanging out at the pool with cousins.



The kids thought hide-away couch in the hotel room was pretty cool.





Checking out the cold, wet weather.

We had tickets to the BYU/ISU game.  It was a cold, wet day so we bundled up warm and had ponchos to help also.



Walking to the stadium



The kids loved being at the game, and they were such good troopers and didn't even complain.

My mom took the kids back to the hotel room around half time, but a few of us stuck it out.

After warming up after the game, we went to the BYU Bookstore for new BYU apparel.  Then we ate at the Cougar Eat.  (at least I think they still call it that.)



We also had the chance to attend a BYU men's basketball game that night.  The kids loved that too.  Unfortunately my camera died at the football game so the only pictures I have are very blurry ones from my phone.

 A fun weekend coming to an end.  We had breakfast at the hotel before heading to church.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Mom and Dad for a wonderful weekend!

October

Here are some of the things we did in October

Cute Megan and Emily heading off to preschool.  The color of the day was brown.



Tyler's drawing for the PTA Reflections contest.  It is a picture of a deer family in the mountains.



Speaking of deer, my mom and dad gave Tyler his own set of deer antlers from my dad's collection. Tyler was in HEAVEN!  He was thinking of hanging them in his room, but luckily he decided that they would work best out in the garage, so that is where the antlers reside at this time.

Playing Candy Land



Walk to School Day.  Since many of the kids that go to Tyler's school don't live within walking distance of the school (like us), we met at a nearby Target parking lot and walked to the school.  The school mascot, Buzz, made his appearance that day.





Tyler participating in crazy hair day for Red Ribbon Week



A few days before Halloween we took kids trick or treating to a few businesses in a neighboring town.  Emily was Minnie Mouse.  Tyler was a firefighter, and Megan was Belle.







Carving pumpkins--the kids got stripped down to their T-shirts to avoid the getting pumpkin guts on their shirts.







On Halloween the girls and I went Tyler's school to see him in the school-wide parade. 





I took the girls to preschool for their Halloween party and then went back to the school to help with Tyler's class party.  Both the morning and afternoon kindergarten classes were there that day so there were quite a few kids to entertain.  We rotated them through different stations and everyone had fun.

Donuts and juice



Pin the face on the pumpkin



Keep the balloons in the air



Musical chairs



Limbo



(The only station Tyler didn't get to was ghost (toilet paper rolls with faces) bowling.  I didn't get a picture.)

That afternoon the kids went trick-or-treating at Darrell's work.



Our Halloween dinner




Darrell took the kids out while I stayed home to hand out candy.
