October was great...here comes the cold

 The fire truck came to Bowen's preschool.  (Bowen was mad that I came to take pictures!  I was the only mom there.  Haha.)

 St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series!!! That's Seth's favorite team.  Even I am sad the games are all over.

 Hiking on my dad's birthday.  We are standing on a bridge that my brother Jake built for his Eagle Project.  Jake is on his mission for the Church in Brazil right now.  I'm so proud of Jake and every time I think about him I cry a little bit, haha!

 "Trick-or-treating" at Ma's (Seth's grandma).  She gave us licorice, rice crispies and potato chips.

 Gardener Village: a fun outdoor mall with lots of Halloween decorations.  So fun! I will be going back next year.

 My sister Tiff and I had a great bike ride together!!! This was really the highlight of my month.  The weather was beautiful, I'm going to miss it.

 Hogle Zoo: the annual picture at the "liger" statue.

 Pumpkin patch

 Halloween night!  Bowen loved it, he skipped up to every house.  All week he was asking if we can go trick-or-treating again.

FYI:  Bowen is a firefighter, and Leah is a dalmatian puppy.  (I know she was a cow last year, but I didn't plan on her being black and white again!  Lots of people called her a boy!)

Favorite Videos

 

 Bowen Laughs so hard when Leah says Hello in the video.

 

Leah loves to feed her hair!

 

Brave boy: can jump off the diving board at Grandma's and ride a 2-wheeler!

Bye-bye Jake

 

 Uncle Jake went into the MTC a few weeks ago.  It was horrible saying good-bye.  He is such a good kid and he is going to help so many people in Curitiba, Brazil. 

Just some pictures at the park.  We are enjoying this warm fall weather!

 Ana and Taylor's wedding:

 Camping with cousins

 Being silly around the house

We stayed at a cabin in Island Park for a few days with the Turleys and Schellenbergs

 Big Springs, crystal clear water, huge trout

 Boating with Jake (I will post soon on his mission farewell)

First day of preschool.  Bowen loves school so much he gets up early and gets himself all ready about an hour before we need to leave.  He even makes his bed.  It's crazy that he's so big now!

NYC

 Seth and I went to NYC for 3 days.  He had an online marketing convention, and I was lucky to come along.

 Empire State building

 Yankee's game

 Liberty Park with cousin Lexi

 Grandma Hobbs:  We love going to her house, even though we live a little further away now.

 Uncle Jake giving the boys mow-hawks

 All the cousins got mow-hawks before Lake Powell

 Notice the sword down Bowen's pants

 Lake Powell! My dad rented a house boat and all of my whole family came.
