We had a great halloween. We did some trick or treating at the mall, watched a cool reptile show and played with some friends. Here are our favorite pics from the week.
This snake was huge! Jaxon wanted no part in it, but Dylan sure wanted to play!
Applesauce is so easy. I'll have my mother-in-laws food mill for the next couple of days so if you wanted me to show you we could...call if you want to.
Someone captured a video of us pounding fufu (or at least attempting to) and it’s now gone viral in the stake. Might as well share here too. I’ll meet people now and they recognize us as the fufu pounders haha.
Here's the kiddos off to the start of their new school year. Middle School for Jaxon in 8th and Dylan in 6th. Elementary school for Bradyn in 4th and Lucy in 1st. I love that Lincoln Academy has them all together! A little peek into the sing along morning meeting. Lucy's the blondie in the middle. This is one of my favorite pictures of Lucy with her buddies Sara, Maleah and Tyler This is the only picture I got of our latest beach trip but it was so sweet to see our friend Grace (who couldn't get her wrist wet and surf as she would have liked) instead go and jump the waves with Lucy. Friendship has no age limits. Mark includes Jaxon and Dylan in his morning workout routines. They prepared well for the run for a cure 5K. Sweet they did too because they ran the whole thing and both Jaxon and Dylan completed it in less than 25 minutes. Way to go boys! Dylan got 2nd for his age group. Bradyn...

It's an effort to drive and find things to do but we did our best to find adventure! We've already posted about the 3 big adventures we went on but today is for the inbetween times. Of course we swam regularly. And had friends join sometimes too. We got creative- found bookstores and arcades, made bracelets and built legos and puzzles. All before we could settle in and watch movies or play video games. It was the rainy season which meant it cooled down a little but actually only rained hard a couple times. The Lukes (another family here) were a saving grace to our sanity and we got together with them regularly. Here's the mini golf place we found. To keep up with the social, the kids went a few weeks to summer camp daily activiti...
