Conference Cabin Trip

 Mckinley, Ava, Jackson, and I went up to the cabin for General Conference weekend with my parents and Mark and Emily. The leaves were pretty incredible up there.

With it being October I was expecting chilly weather but instead we melted up there in the heat. 

  

Had some fun taking pictures with these two while Mckinley was gone on a run.

We took a little drive to go see some Kokanee salmon. We saw a few but we were a little late and mostly just saw a bunch of dead ones.

Kallie and Tyler turn 14!

Brandon got tickets to a Mammoth game and was able to bring these kids there the day of Homecoming and Kallie's birthday party. It was a busy day! We had two soccer games, Mckinley flew home from a race in Arizona, and then turned around and went to homecoming that day and we had Kallie's birthday party.

Kallie had a great time hanging out with all her friends.

The twins' birthday was on Sunday, which of course kind of sucked. Kallie got a second piercing in her ears for her birthday.

Tyler had his party the next week and went to Nickel City with his friends and then hung out at home. 

A hike up to see the leaves with Kristin!

Labor Day

We decided last minute to head to Hurricane for Labor Day weekend since our place was free.

We had such a great trip!

Took our kids into Zions for the first time ever. It was a rainy day but we had a great time driving through the tunnel and seeing some pretty views! We didn't do any hiking, but maybe next time!

Ava finished phase 1 of braces!

Crazy sock day for Ava's team.

Fall means hiking with friends while the kids are at school!

Mckinley had the most amazing race in Taylorsville at Border Wars. She accidentally got put with the juniors instead of varsity and it ended up being the biggest blessing and such a fun race to watch! She came in first place out of soooo many girls and won by a long shot! It was so cool!

Homecoming

The first weekend right after school started Mckinley got asked to homecoming by Ezra.

 Her posters always blow me away! She put mountain dew with this. :)

She found a dress she really loved and Blair helped curl her hair. She just looked so gorgeous!

Jackson petting Serafina, our neighbor's cat who spends a lot of time at our house.

Jackson and Liam got to play on the same soccer team and it was so fun watching them!

Ava's soccer team had some fun themed days, like crazy hair day!

Mckinley went to physical therapy for some heel pain she was having. Luckily it didn't end up being anything serious and she onnly had to miss one race for it.
