I know some of the thing on this list may seem silly, but I'm truly grateful for all of the things that I have and enjoy. I'm especially grateful for my little family. I don't know what I would do without Jason and Kyler. I'm also very blessed to have 2 wonderful families that I get to see on a regular basis. I'm truly blessed!!!

October Recap...

October was a busy month full of many fun occasions; my sister's wedding, preschool, fall break, a trip to Park City, football games, and Halloween. I love fall and everything that comes along with it, but I wouldn't mind of things slowed down a bit. With the holidays right around the corner I'm sure things will continue to be busy.

We started out the month with my sister's wedding. It was a beautiful day, but very long and exhausting. She was married over in Logan at the Riter Mansion.

Kyler was the ring boy, along with my younger brother Ty. The wedding started at 1:00, which is right in the middle of nap time. Kyler wasn't very happy and didn't want to walk down the aisle.

(I couldn't find black socks for a little boy ANYWHERE. He looked kind of funny with white socks and a black tux.)

Enjoying a wonderful luncheon and being able to sit down for a minute. Decorating for a wedding takes a lot of WORK!!!

The beautiful bride & groom!

Kyler and Annie had fun running around and playing together. I think these two are going to have a lot of fun growing up together.

We loved the gorgeous weather that October had. We tried to spend as much time out doors as possible. Kyler loves to go out and ride his little 4-wheeler that he got for his birthday. He hasn't figured out that you have to steer, but he loves to ride on it.

Kyler loves to play in the leaves and help dad rake them up.

Towards the end of the month we enjoyed going to a pumpkin patch and carving our pumpkins.

And last, but not least Halloween. This year we decided to do cheap and easy costumes for Halloween. So Kyler was a Bee, Jason was a Box Elder Football player, and I was the referee. We went trick-0r-treating to the grandma's and grandpa's and that's about it. That's all that Kyler could handle.
