October 2015

We started October in the 90's and it ended in the 60's. The trees haven't changed much yet, but it's cooler. We paid $1000 to have our huge trees out front trimmed! Lily loved watching all of the heavy machinery; the boys were also thrilled to come home after school and watch.

We watched general conference...

Kimball loves being goalie in his soccer games!

We went to the park over fall break and to the pumpkin patch.

Kimball had crazy hair day at school and proved that boys can wear balloons in their hair too.

Lily discovered how to pull lids off of markers:

We had a huge box of diapers delivered and the kids loved the box!

Dale's car was having airbag issues. We were initially told it would be $1400 to fix, but it ended up being less than $300 and we were very grateful! Lily and I hung out in Ardmore waiting for it to be fixed, and she loved the huge balloons!

 I finally finished the denim quilt I started years ago, and the boys loved helping me tie it!

Grandpa Rex and Grandma Sharon finished their mission in Boston. On their way back to Utah, they visited for a night and we loved having them here. 

Cameron lost a tooth at school during lunch and was so excited when the tooth fairy left him $1!

Lily had a month of learning and growth: October 1st she got a new tooth on the bottom; she started spinning in circles; blowing on her food; drinking from a normal cup with help (still working on that); had her first temper tantrum (she tried to bang her head on the floor, but smashed her nose instead); hated visiting the doctor (as in screamed bloody murder any time the doctor entered the room!); loves to "color"; loved giving Eskimo kisses; says dada (referring to Dale), hi and ball; nods her head yes and shakes her head no. 

We carved pumpkins and celebrated Halloween Star Wars style.

In other news, Dale got braces again because his teeth had shifted to the point he couldn't chew. He'll have them for the next 15ish months and misses eating bread like normal.

I (Judy) have been playing volleyball with the ladies at church Thursday nights, and have been trying to figure out how to keep a 15 month old entertained during the day...Lily insists on leaving the house frequently and will drag the diaper bag to the front door and wait for me to catch up.

 All in all, life is good and we are blessed!
