Fantastic Fall :)

 As much as we are always so sad to say goodbye to summer, I am always blown away with how beautiful the fall is.  I LOVE THE FALL! We have some fun traditions in the fall too.

Tradition #1
I always look forward to our fall hike! It is unbelievable how gorgeous the colors are, I feel like it gets prettier and prettier every year! The girls feel the joy in it too, so fun to have them with me:)


 Rough moment along the hike

 Unbelievable

 A sucker was the perfect trick to help her make it through the hike back
 It worked for daddy as well 
:)

 Random adorable bath picture....in the fall...haha

 Kody and Gina's visit was wonderful and relaxing, the girls loved their motorcycle ride!













Tadition#2
Raking leaves! I was so proud of my Brytinn...She came home from school and said, "I'm going outside to rake leaves" I was trying to insist she get done her inside responsibilities and we keep to routine, but I am so glad she persisted! It was a perfect day for raking the leaves up.  Kam and Amarie followed her out and sure enough, a few minutes later, there was a significantly large pile of leaves the girls had done all on their own, so finally i went out and joined them, they were so cute..working hard and could not wait to jump in the pile!



















Tradition #3
Cornbellies! I was afraid it might not happen this year cuz the weather was not cooperating, I am sooo glad it worked out, so much fun!


Noelle was so good and took over an hour nap in her stroller
 




Love these bikes, fun, and the best exercise:)



Tradition #4
Dressing up for the ward Halloween Party



I can't get enough of this babe...and especially in this ridiculously cute costume.  I was excited I found the pumpkin at the thrift store, cuz last year I was pregnant and my belly was the pumpkin, so I thought it was fun this year to have the pumpkin out of me:)

Tradition #5
Carving Pumpkins: Kinda low key this year...but just glad we made it happen:) and I always LOVE those pumpkin seeds




Halloween Day




Brytinn and her new friend that she and I are so excited that she found



Trick or Treating at Daddy's work
(Joe was a newsy at the last second, a hot one:)

Tradition #6
CANDY...ug :)
I had fun passing out candy and 'fry lice' with Noelle.  Daddy was a trooper trick or treating with the girls.  We all had and have colds, but we did it!

Mouth full of candy, this Amers still needs monitoring

When no one was looking Noelle climbed up the stairs for the first time! Sugar high I guess:) She was so excited and was climbing super fast!
The whole family was super excited, so much joy in this bundle of cuteness




PS...Next year I hope I can pull together costumes that are a theme for my family...I love when families
dress up as a group, so fun.

Oh my gosh, Josie, your girls are SO cute! We miss you guys big time. And I'm totally jealous of your trampoline. ;) Think we're caving and getting one for Christmas, but in our small yard it will have to be a small tramp. Someday we need to take a trip together or something to get caught up with eachothers lives. We think of you all the time! Thanks for posting pics...you have the cutest family!
