Garrett lost another tooth. After school one day he came to the car and had a little tooth necklace on and he said he lost his tooth. He said that he was playing Football at recess and he got tackled and out came his tooth.
Our Winter friend is back. For about the last 3 years we have this hawk in our backyard often. The sad thing is, is that we have about 5 different bird feeders in our yard and we usually have a lot of little birds in our yard eating and hanging out in our trees. And in the colder months the hawk will catch a bird and then it plucks out all the feathers and eats the poor bird right in our yard. Let me tell you, it is disgusting. There are feathers and blood spots everywhere. For as much as we enjoy feeding the birds, I don't like seeing the hawk eating one of them, but there is no way to stop him.
We had our Annual Halloween Party at Grandpa Dan's house. The kids have alot of fun. They played games, had a pinata (chuck full of candy) and decorated pumpkins. We had a great time.
Here is Katelyn and Garrett's pumpkins from Grandpa Dan's House.
Katelyn had a good time helping James rack up leaves in the back yard. She had a better time jumping in the leaves. I love Fall when they leaves fall off the trees. It sure keeps the kids entertained for a while.
Poor Garrett was sick that day and couldn't play in the leaves. The hard thing about the Fall is getting sick. But after a few days with a cold he was back to normal. So leaves... Here he comes.
Don't forget about our Utah Utes. We went to the game on October 24th and watched the Utes play Air Force. As you can see from the pictures the weather was crappy. It was cloudy, cold and rainy. And of course we didn't plan on the weather well. I left the blanket at home and we were just wearing jackets and vests. Garrett and I wore our hats, Katelyn had a hood on her jacket and James brought his poncho. So we stayed kind of dry. It was a fun game but next time we are leaving Katelyn home. We got to the game a little late because of the traffic and having to park then walk. Then we get to our seats and immediately Katelyn starts saying... I need to go potty... I need a drink... I need a treat... She just didn't want to sit and watch the game because it was boring. Then we had to leave the game early because it was James' Grandpa's birthday and we had to go meet his family for dinner. When we left the Utes were winning and as we were walking out of the stadium Air Force tied up the game. James was so upset that we couldn't stay and watch the rest of the game. But he listened to it on the radio and the Utes still won the game.
Here is the whole family having dinner at the Olive Garden. It was alot of fun and Grandpa Ed's sister Cheryl and her son Jeff were in town so we were able to get together with them too.
Happy 80th Birthday Great Grandpa.
We went to a fun Halloween party at our neighbor's house. We had dinner, played games and got to visit with friends. It was great. We did donuts on a string and it was so funny watching the kids try so hard to do it. Garrett did a great job.
It is hard to see but he has glaze all over his face from his donut.
Here is Katelyn trying so hard. She just keep laughing. She got a couple good bites and she sure had fun trying.
Here are my cute kids on Halloween. I went up to the University bookstore on day with my friend Jen and decided they should be a football player and cheerleader. So I bought their costumes and showed them when they got home from school. They were really excited because my kids are major Ute fans.
We had such a fun and crazy month... Just think how the next couple months are going to be...
