It's Autumn time!

One thing that I LOVE about living in Utah is fall!! The color's are so beautiful, the weather is nice. It's just a wonderful time of year. We took some pictures around Temple Square and Liberty Park to capture some of the beautiful colors this year.

The same tree, just a different angle.






We have been pretty busy over the last month. We listened to General Conference, attended Regional Conference, and hung out with friends a lot. We went to the zoo with our friend Kimberly and her girls a couple of weeks ago. Katy always loves going to the zoo because there is so much to do and see there. I think her favorite exhibit is probably the monkeys and apes. She loves watching them swing from branch to branch and make funny noises. They also have a carousel at the zoo. We were standing in line waiting to ride and the girls were all looking at the different animals and deciding which one they wanted to ride. Katy was set on riding a zebra until....... she saw "Dorothy". She had a "pet" Praying Mantis a while back that she had named Dorothy, but we had to let it go back outside. Well, they had a Praying Mantis to ride on the carousel. When she saw that, that was it, that is what she was riding! After the ride was over she gave "Dorothy" a big hug and a kiss and told her that she would see her later! She's so cute! I just love her imagination!!

Katy being a rockstar! She just loves playing with this guitar we got from our toy trade. It can get a little annoying after a while, though. Thanks Aubrey!






Also this past month we decided to invite our friends, the Robisons, over for pumpkin carving and treats. We had so much fun that we decided to make this an annual event. It was so fun watching Kimberly cringe as she was cleaning out her pumpkin, and seeing what everyone came up with. We carved them nearly a week before Halloween so by the time Halloween came around they were pretty shriveled up. So next year we'll have to wait until a day or two before.



Our men hard at work.



Hugs!

I have no idea what I was doing in this picture! Haha!



Everyone's finished product from left to right: Kimberly's owl, Evan's goofy face, Victoria's haunted house, and Bart and Abigail's "fairy" pumpkin.






This year for Halloween I figured I could let Katy decide what she wanted to be for Halloween. Little did I know how specific she would be. We went and looked at some costumes. She had found a few that she really liked, but as soon as she saw the pirate girl costume, that was it, that is what she wanted to be! But it had to have a sword and a "Jack Sparrow" hat! Crazy girl. I can't believe she's old enough to articulate these kinds of things to me! She was the CUTEST little pirate girl ever! She had so much fun trick or treating and playing with her friends at the trunk or treat! I can only imagine what she's going to want to be next year!! It was a great month, but I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving. It's going to be here sooner than we know it!



Aay matey!
