Early Celebration

Brad's office had an early Halloween celebration

Johnny was so excited for it, and kept asking if it was Thursday yet

Asher squeezed into Bela's outfit from her first Halloween

After the trick or treating around the office, we enjoyed some treats and root beer floats. Bela loved telling everyone she was dressed as a lady bug, and was also quite pleased she was able to still wear her fireman hat. John was even more happy to be dressed as a fireman. Which isn't too different from his normal attire.

It's Chilly at the Park

It's definitely fall here in Utah. We had playgroup this morning at the park. It was so nice for the kids to be able to play outside even though the air was crisp.

Asher seems to always enjoy being outside. He looks so adorable all bundled up and sleeping.

Bela is looking more grown up every day

Johnny had such a great time too. Once we were done playing, he told me we needed to go to Winco to get some donuts. I told him I thought he was right.

Sometimes I Wish. . .

that they were always this still and quiet

but then life would be very boring

and Asher wouldn't have anyone to wake him up

right when I put him down for a nap

so I'll take the craziness

Game On

Brad was brave and took both Johnny and Bela to the BYU vs. Idaho St. game. They love their dad, BYU, and game day, so they were in heaven! And BYU won so Brad was happy too.

Fall Fest

We met up with some friends down in Payson for their annual

fall fest. A small, but fun little festival with pony rides, a corn maze, and a few other activities.

John unfortunately had no fear and would run and jump from the top of the slide. Scared me half to death, but he loved it.

The kids' favorite by far was the bouncy slide. The girl running it was so sweet and let them play for far longer than the 5 minutes we'd paid for. After they'd bounced themselves tired, we headed home for a nice long nap.

Bedtime Stories

Bela is very good at reading her brother bedtime stories.

Firemen at the Park

Brad's parents made a quick stop on their way home to Mesquite from Idaho. We met them at a park near our house for a quick snack. Even though it was a warm sunny day, the kids both really wanted to wear some fireman gear. The ducks seemed to like their food from fireman Johnny, and Bela was just pleased to be dressed up just like Johnny.
