Lately- October

 October was busy! But what month isn't? 😛

Here are some Halloween drawings that Hazel did that I love.

 

We got to go to a mission reunion! We haven't been to one of those in like 15 years so that was fun. It was for all missionaries ever from the mission but of course there  weren't many from our time since we were so long ago but it was still great to see some familiar faces. And it's still so great to me that Buck and I have the same reunion. ;)

 The kids found a butterfly that couldn't fly for some reason so we took care of it for a few days. It was cool to watch it eat nectar.

 

My sister came to town and brought these beautiful flowers from her garden!

Butterfly and flowers combined. ;)

 

Rose wanted to always remember this thing she built.

 

Bike rides before dance class.

 

Birthday get together with dear friends!

 

My amazing friend, Giannina, made this!

 

Group date!

 

When your BeReal app goes off and you're hanging out.

 

Also had a pet woolley bear caterpillar as a pet for a few days. Johnny especially loved that thing.

 

Daddy Daughter camp out! And of course this is the only photo the men took.

Same night Johnny had a sleep over with cousins.

 

Meanwhile I did a sleep over too at a neighborhood girls weekend getaway in Park City!

 

Candy store!

 

I'm going to make a separate post about this but I got to be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser gala! Which was crazy and a bit intimidating haha but it went well!

 

Haben came to stay with us for a week since her husband is a truck driver and she and we didn't want her to be alone with a newborn. It was a crazy time having a newborn in the house! But The kids and us love Alonab so much!

Buck and I even took him one night to give Haben a night of rest. That brought back a lot of memories. haha

My sister also had a newborn recently and had sent this to our family chat and I was able to relate. SO CRAZY. Life is weird.

 

Trying out some Halloween pieces.

 

Karaoke night with my new friends from that singing group I recently joined! Well, we were missing six other women but it was fun!

 

Rose and I discovered that this glass jelly fish glows in the dark and we were stoked.

Hale Center Theater play! It was a funny one!

 

Monthly temple trip this time with a friend!

 

Kids went to a Mario party. 😄

 

The kids Hale Center theater play- Spookly the Pumpkin.

 

Another BeReal but Rose and I look like twins.

 

Dinner after Halloween photos. A little nod back to our first Halloween together.

 

Astrid follows us on our walks sometimes and I love it.

 

And some photos from another walk with friends!

 

Girls night out for October birthdays! I seriously have the best neighborhood!

 

Birthday breakfast for Pops!

 

A photo that we took that made Rose laugh for a good five minute afterwards.

 

Someone in our neighborhood had skeletons out and changed them around every day! Here are a few photos of what they did! So funny! Way better than an elf on the shelf, right? ;)

 

Lastly, June looks like she's starting out young. But after how busy life always is, maybe she's onto something. (it's obviously juice 😉)
