Some of David's first Spanish school work he brought home, "I see..."

Mike has been looking forward to taking Nicholas to conference when he turned 12 and this was the year.  They went to the Priesthood session and 2 other sessions.  They went down with Nicholas' good friend, Joe, and his dad. Nicholas really enjoyed being in the presence of the prophet even though he had to sit in a chair in his suit instead of lounging on the couch in his pajamas! 

Zach and I on a date while Nicholas and Mike are at General Conference in Salt Lake City.
Zach and I went to McDonalds for dessert.

And then to a play done by children called "My Son Pinocchio Jr."

I was tired of the continually broken piano keys, so we sold the piano and got this electric Casio Privia.

Getting into the Halloween mood by visiting Lakeview Farms with Ellen.

Nicholas and Brooke being cute farmers.

David, Nicholas, and Zach trying to find their way out of the Hay Maze.

Don't worry, Gabe! I'll get you out of this maze!

David and Nicholas found a pumpkin they wanted to share.

Zach found his perfect pumpkin!



After a little boat ride to the pumpkin patch, we took a train ride back to the entrance.
The boys liked sitting in the back.



Brooke on the train with her pumpkin.

Gabey has daddy's shoes on and ready to go outside!

We had a beautiful fall day on Oct. 20 and David and Brooke spent several hours on the play structure in the backyard.

Brooke was the only one who wanted to actually carve her pumpkin.

Mike and I went to an adult only party at the Odil's home with a bunch of friends.

David lost his 3rd tooth on Oct. 28.  He's only 5!

Brooke sold 18 items for the school fundraiser and earned a limo ride to Godfather's Pizza!
She is the 2nd to the right from the driver.

Happy Halloween!
See the holes in Zach's box of cereal? He is a Cereal Killer, David is Mario, Brooke is Rapunzel and Gabe is just cute.



Elementary school fall carnival the day after Halloween.





Grandma and Auntie Carolyn were in charge of Gabe.
