Update on the month of October

Here are pictures of all the things we were to do this week. This was after Great-grandma's surgery. The first time she was able to come home. V gave out some great snuggle time, that is rare these days! :)

V has so much fun hiding in this spot at our friends house.

V had a blast playing in the pumpkins at Village Pointe.

Daddy's company party was a blast, especially when E showed up. They had fun bouncing together. V loved the obstacle course so much she went on it over 25 time all by herself that night. She was a lot like the Energizer Bunny. She wore me out just watching. She was fast!

After church V was in her room for quiet time and she came out saying her feet were cold. She was already wearing heavy tights. She was so cute with the black socks on top. She let us know that they were black and matched! So silly!

We went to the children's museum with the E & H. It was fun, but awful hard to keep track of 3 kids by myself!
I was also crazy enough to take them all to the zoo by myself, twice! At least I can keep better control. E probably thinks I am so mean, making him hold on to the stroller all the time. V is used to it! :)

The little critters were really active the morning we were there. It was kind of fun. They are usually hiding or sleeping!


V is overjoyed at the slightest mention of playing in the leaves. She is in that stage where she doesn't want pictures taken as much though.


R needed to get his mind off the election last night so we went to V's favorite place, the Trail Center. Unfortunately R did not get elected by Bennington, but he was elected as the best daddy and husband by us!

Very fun pictures! We did see that Roland didn't win...I am so sorry to hear that. I hope he is doing okay. I guess there is always next time, right? He's young, he can try again? I am sure he learned a lot from this experience. I hope you had fun with watching three kids! :)

You have such a sweet family. I am so happy to have your great example!

You've been so busy. You ARE brave to go to the zoo with three kiddos. I haven't braved that yet. I love the black socks with her tights, we do that on Sundays too!! Sorry about Roland, sounds like he won the best prize anyway.

Matt and I were looking at your election results and we think you should be proud. Honestly, what a cool thing to aim for. Try again! Very few things come the first time you try. Besides- for as little time as you guys have been back living there it is fantastic that you had so much support in your area (almost 1/3 the votes is nothing to take for granted). Next time that many more people will know who you are. And what a cute family you have too! Lots of blessings. When are you guys going to be in Utah next? Hoping to see you soon.

What a fun life you've had lately. :) You sound like a great mom. ;) Sorry to hear about Roland. We would have voted for him! Hope it turned out to be a good experience even if it didn't end the way you hoped.

Sorry about the election results, Roland. Stay involved & try again next time. This country surely needs good leaders--don't give up!
Also, Victoria is getting so big! I guess I haven't checked here in a while but suddenly she seems so grown up.

wow you did have a busy October! Victoria is as cute as ever and looks like she is always having a great time. Sorry about the election, but I know Roland took first place for the best Dad ever!

The pictures are so cute. Xavier too has gotten the stage where he does not want to take pictures as much anymore. Thanks for sharing!
