October 2012

      October began with J and I leaving the kids at his parents house and going to Moab, just the two of us!  J is a member of a jeep four wheeling group call NAXJA (North American XJ Association). Throughout the year they plan get togethers and find fun trails to run together. Every October they all go to Moab for their Fall Fling. J wasn't able to make it the last two years because I had just had a baby both years. So this year we made sure we went.
     This year J was a trail leader for two trails: Golden Spike and Moab Rim.

How many men does it take to fix a u-joint? 3!

       Baby Z has always been such a good eater. There is nothing she won't eat and she seems to eat non-stop. Lately, she eats herself to sleep.

      We got the kids some shoes for winter. Baby Z absolutely LOVES her new boots.

      I could tell she felt beautiful walking around in them.

      Baby J likes to drag us to the guitars, pick one out and have us play. Sometimes, J has Baby J play.

      My parents invited us to their ward Halloween party. They had a costume contest and each age group go on stage to be judged. Baby J saw all the little kids on stage and dragged my dad up. Baby Z, seeing this, had Aunt A take her too. Once up there, Baby J did not like it.


It's hard to tell but Baby J is supposed to be Steve, from Blue's Clues.

 The weekend before Halloween we took the kids to our local pumpkin patch. We didn't realize our camera battery was dead, so this was the only picture we got. The kids did enjoy walking around and being allowed touch everything.

Here are our finished jack-o-lanterns.

     We went to my sister's house again to trick-or-treat. I decided to bring some food with me this year to help out.

Mini pumpkin pies, Roll bones, and string cheese broom sticks.

     Baby J liked going trick-or-treating as long as his cousin P or Aunt H was holding his hand. Baby Z just like sitting in the stroller, holding her bucket and playing with glow sticks.

     Here you can see my costume, although my head is chopped off in this picture. I was a super hero. Baby J ended up being a fire man.
