October-ish :)

Fun Halloween presents from Gramma Marilyn & Grampa Bert.

Cute relief society craft I made at my first official activity, & my first activity being on the planning committee. It was really successful & I had a great time. They had a nursery for the kids. They did great! It was a service activity making "bedtime bags" for kids at the local homeless shelter, & a few little crafts to make as well. It was fun to get to visit & get to know some of the ladies in my ward better too!

Black Island Farms was a blast! We stood in line for an hour & a half to ride the tractor & pick out pumpkins. Well worth it though! The kids were so good! We rode the little train & played in the corn pit. I picked so many corn kernels out of Lola's diaper that night & then out of the laundry for days hahaha! We saw Vincie & Russie there too! Fun surprise! Thanks Grammy & Poppy for all the fun activities you plan!

Also a lil tidbit of info. I met Bobby's girlfriend earlier that day. She seems very on-the-ball & good with the kids. She did Lola's hair so cute too. It was a surprise when they dropped them off (early too, glad I was just getting home from a run!). Gotta roll with it though. Went fairly well, & I'd rather be in the loop anyways :) And I truly do want him to be happy

Maelee's 3rd birthday party! Lola sure has a special bond with Dakota. He loves her just as much too. It is very sweet.

We also learned that day that Ashley is pregnant!!! And having a little girl! So excited & happy for their cute little fam to grow <3

Halloween fun painting pumpkins & going to visit the Martin's dogs. Figured it was a good day to get dirty & hair-covered since we were already covered in paint. And cornstarch paint too! Tate had been painting the driveway earlier that day. Fun times!

Enjoying our fire pit in the backyard. We roasted hot dogs & marshmallows & had my friend Dan over for his birthday. We made him a football cake. Tate is the best lil baker! He is so cute. We both wear our aprons & have a fun time :)

Friedli Family Halloween Carnival. Woot woot! 

My mom is incredible. She always plans the funnest things for us!!

She & Poppy's surprise costumes were Play-Doh! They looked darling!

Zach surprised us with Dakota's costume too!!! He is so amazing! He made Dakota an extremely realistic CAT skidsteer costume that goes over his wheelchair. What an awesome dad!

My beautiful kids <3

We've been celebrating Halloween all month! So it was okay that I had to work. It was Bobby's weekend anyways, & his birthday as well. We made Halloween cards, painted ghosts & "Boo" on Tater's cheek & hands, which he loved. He now has an obsession with tattoos hahaha.

They looked so darling in their Halloween-wear I just had to take a pic. Lola's got her skeleton/skull legwarmers on & Tate had his frankenstein shirt from Dakota. My gorgeous kids!

I got to see them for a minute the next day (actual Halloween). I worked Friday & Saturday.

They stopped to say hi & to get a trick-or-treat treat from Mama after they dropped Sissy off at Weber State. Her Thriller performance was on actual Halloween this year.

Bobby went to watch that while the kiddos stayed at Billy's house where Gramma Sandi made homemade doughnuts!

Bobby said they did great trick-or-treating! Tate was so brave this year! And Lola just loved going up to all the doors & wasn't scared at all!

I was doing okay at work until I heard about all the fun I was missing out on! :(

I am so glad that they had a great day though. That is what is important!

Happy Halloween my little monsters!!!

I love you!
