Time is flying!! I'll try to be brief with my words. There are a lot of pictures:)
Evelyn loves to dress up! Here she is in her witch costume and Morgan's boots.
Cute lil' Evelyn. We were soaking up the sun while the kids were in school.
Playing with chalk.
Evelyn showing off her new tennis shoes!
My first attempt getting a pony tail in Evelyn's hair.
It turned out so cute! Of course it didn't stay in there for long.
One of Noel's best friends moved and so this was the last time they got together to play.
Evelyn and I went to the park here in our town home community and got to hold a neighbor's macaw again.
My friend and her daughter were with us so she took a turn holding the macaw as well.
Here's Evelyn tackling Sam at one of Noel's soccer games.
Noel made a goal for soccer and the deal is that she gets $5 if she makes a goal!
She made 2 this season!
We had some fun storms roll through here.
We went to help my brother Mikey move. Here the kiddos are with their cousin Ty in the moving truck.
Moving the big stuff!
The whole moving gang.
When the fall colors started changing we went for a drive up Payson Canyon. It was beautiful.
Look familiar? This is the backyard at our old house. The man who bought it hasn't been well so we went over to his house to mow lawns and weed. Man, did it need it! The grass was so incredibly long it took around 4 hours just to mow the backyard! But we are so glad we did. It's always good to do service. The kids did a great job too!
Decorating for Halloween.
Grandma and Grandpa Watkins were in town and so we gave the kids the option to ditch school and go fishing with them if they wanted. Noel decided to go to school instead (she's not a huge fan of fishing) and Sam decided to go fishing. It was a windy morning but we caught 4 total fish! 2 for Sam. 1 for Evelyn and 1 for me!
Evelyn holding up her fish!
Me holding up my prize winning fish;)
We had a good time!
After fishing we went to the kids school Jogathon. Here's Noel running.
Sam's turn to run in the Jogathon.
Evelyn getting snuggles from Grandma.
Grandpa reading a book to the the kiddos.
Noel finished up her soccer season. She did so well this year. She's improved a lot and has become a lot more aggressive.
Noel with her best friend Edith. They were on the same soccer team.
Evelyn posing for the camera at Noel's soccer game.
Soccer pictures.
Noel did "Arts Extra" at school which is an additional class after school, a couple times a week for 3
weeks. She LOVED it!
We went to play tennis as a family. The kids had been showing interest in learning tennis so we got them some tennis rackets and hit the courts here in town. It was fun!
Evelyn and I went to a pumpkin patch with my friend Kenzie and her daughter. Here's Evelyn going down the slide there.
Riding the tire pony.
Evelyn and her friend Andi.
For Fall Break we went to Glenwood Springs, Colorado. We had so much fun. Here we are eating breakfast at our hotel.
Here were are riding the gondola up a mountain to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. It's a little theme park at the top of a small mountain with 2 caves and roller coasters and other fun rides.
The view from the gondola ride.
Noel and Sam, excited for their first little roller coaster.
Here's Morgan and Sam on the Zip Ride. On this ride, two people sit side by side, strapped in by a lap belt and you are pulled back as far as you can go and then you go soaring! It was crazy fun!
Noel and I in line for the zip ride.
Our turn!
We all tried out the Alpine Coaster, a roller coaster you could ride down the mountain. It was so fun! Here is Morgan and Sam riding down their first time.
Evelyn and I on the ride.
Going back up on the alpine coaster.
Noel had to go all by herself because she was too tall to go with Morgan or I. She was so brave to do it all by herself and she loved it!
Noel finishing up her first ride on the alpine coaster. We were so proud of her for going on it all by herself.
On the small Ferris Wheel.
The view from the Ferris Wheel. I believe those are the rocky mountains in the distance.
Yikes! A Bear! Oh my!
Going into the Fairy Caves.
In the middle of the cave tour we ended up outside because there was another exit on the other side of the mountain.
More beautiful views of Glenwood Springs from the other side of the mountain during the cave tour.
Water in the cave.
We DID NOT go on this but I wanted to share a picture of this crazy swing ride!
Evelyn and I hanging out while Morgan and Noel and Sam did some lazer tag.
A fun ride called Giddy Up. It goes up and bounces up and down giving you brief feelings of butterflies. The kids loved this one.
Morgan and Evelyn on the roller coaster. Evelyn LOVED all of the rides!
Noel and Sam loving the roller coaster ride.
We all tried out the big roller coaster except for Evelyn, she was too small. Morgan was the only one that liked it. It was so loud and had super tight twists and turns that it just hurt! Morgan and Sam are on this ride in the picture.
Noel and I finishing up on the roller coaster.
Our gondola ride back down the mountain. What a great and adventurous day!
Pool/hot tub time at the hotel.
We went on a short hike to visit an old Pioneer Cemetery where the famous gunslinger, Doc Holliday was buried.
We found this tree on our hike that had pieces of material, ribbons, shoes and other random items hanging from it. Not sure what it was all about, but it was cool!:)
Evelyn is such a poser. I love it!
We reached the cemetery.
Doc Holliday's grave.
Evelyn liked to walk around and "read" what was on the headstones of graves.
On our way back from the hike.
A picture of our hotel room. It was a two room place which was so nice! Here's the kids room.
We had a blast! I am so grateful for my family and for the memories we made
there in Glenwood Springs, CO.
