October Memories











We have had a very busy month of October! We started off the month with a quick weekend trip to Disneyland! We had probably our best time ever as a family. Jacob braved every ride and loved them all! His new favorite is the Grizzly River Run and the Mid-town Mania both in California Adventure. It was just a perfect weekend getaway.

The very next weekend, we took a last minute trip to Utah! And by last minute, I mean I had no idea we were making the 12 hour drive until a couple of hours before we left! Ryan decided we could make the drive Friday after preschool and school, and so we left and made it to Winnemucca, NV that night. We woke up to a snow storm and made it to Utah just in time for the BYU football game! We had a blast in the freezing temperatures, and enjoyed seeing our Cougars win a game inLavell Edwards Stadium. We visited with family and then took off Sunday morning to drive back home! Whew!!!

For me, I had another getaway the following weekend to NYC with my four sisters! This was an amazing trip! We got to do all of the things a girl would love to do in the big city! We made a big sign and made it on the Today Show in the morning, we saw Wicked on Broadway that evening, we shopped, we walked Central park, we stayed right in Times Square and saw the city at night, (amazing), we did sealings in the NYC temple, we went to the Museum of Modern Art, we rode the subways, and just had so much fun!!! I will never forget that trip with all of my sisters. It was wonderful!

So of all of the weekends in October, we have only had a couple at home. We enjoy being busy, but this might be a little extreme. Life sure has been interesting, and we are all healthy and happy.

Tomorrow is Halloween and Jacob is Indiana Jones, and Kate is a real Snow White bought at Disneyland, and they will both look amazing! We will then look forward to some quiet time at home, and a trip to Atlanta in November.
