October 2012

 The month started off with the death of Uncle Charles.

We were able to go up to Idaho to attend his funeral.

All of those participated on the program did an amazing job.

What an example Uncle Charles was to those around him.

 Tabea sure does like playing in the leaves.

While Geoffrey was at cub scouts

we took the time to clean up some leaves

Halloween Fun

The PTA at school hosted a Halloween Party

for the students.  It was a great success and everyone

had a ton of fun.

We then had fun going to Boo at the Zoo

 Evan was a ghoul

 Austin was a Hobbit

 Geoffrey was a Knight

 Elizabeth was an Austrian Girl

 and Tabea was a Dalmatian

We also had fun carving pumpkins.

 Tabea had her first experience with pumpkin guts

 Our friend Sydnee came and joined the crazyness

At school Elizabeth's class did a musical presentation.

September 2012

This month started off with a birthday and party

Elizabeth celebrated her birthday.

She was excited to get painting supplies.

 Todd and Elizabeth enjoyed an evening of painting together

 Elizabeth also got to help decorate her cake.

 Elizabeth and her friends enjoyed an afternoon

at the swimming pool to celebrate her birthday.

 Tabea is getting so big!

 The children were able to have some fun after running laps.

We have been having some issues with hitting,

so we end up at the school

where the kids get to run laps

We ended the month with an impromptu getaway to St. George

We enjoyed hiking through Zion National Park

 Tabea knew just how to ride in style.

 On the hike to the Emerald Pools.

 You love me this much!

 

Playing in that water at the end of the Riverside Walk

Todd stayed at the bottom of the trail with Tabea

while the kids and I did the hike to Weeping Rock

The next day we went to Bryce Canyon and enjoyed the views there.
