October Fun

 Fall is always so much fun for our family.  Football, the excitement of seasons changing and holidays coming up, and of course our girls' birthdays.  First, enjoy our family pictures taken by Stacia Klemas, up in Provo Canyon. 

 

My parents were in town for Halloween and took us to a pumpkin patch in Orem on Halloween Day.  

This girl can give the greatest glares....just look at those eyebrows!

 These cousins have so much fun together

 Everyone should have a sister in law that is a photographer....we get so many great pictures of our kids!

 Becca kept sticking her fingers through the fence of the chicken coup and this particular chicken kept watching like he was just waiting to peck her fingers!

 

Halloween finally came.  It is so fun to have children that just make holidays so much more fun.  She has been looking forward to trick or treating so much!  Here is the group that went (minus Jeff and I).  Becca was a butterfly and Alayna was Tinkerbell.  It was a great time.  For the first little while, Jeff stayed home and passed out candy, then my parents came to my house to pass out candy so Jeff and I could take our girls together.  That was nice because we usually have to divide and conquer!

 

 Trick or Treating buddies.  I love how Emily is almost as tall as Alayna in this picture, but she is 2 years younger.

 The Sunday before Halloween, we got together at Jeff's parents house to carve pumpkins.  We decided it would be fun to carve our girls Halloween costume on their pumpkin.  We found a template for Tinkerbell online and Jeff FREEHANDED the butterfly.  He did an amazing job on both, don't you think?

Other events in October:
