MN Trip -
Tim and I were able to go to Minnesota November 5-8 to visit Jason Becca, lots of other family, and most importantly meet little Dallin. He is adorable and we had such a wonderful visit. Thanks Jason and Becca for being such wonderful hosts! And it was great to see Harry, Dianne, Jennifer, and Aunt Mary as well. Hopefully we'll be able to get ou to UT for an extended visit this summer.
Okay, back to MN:
The weather was lovely just for me! With lows in the 30's and highs in the low 50's it will probably be the most winter Tim and I will see this season. I enjoyed it while I could. Tim and I were also able to make the visit sans children. We missed them but it was great to get a vacation to ourselves. Thanks to my mom and dad for doing a great job holding down the fort while we were away.
Here's Grandma with little Dallin right when everyone just got in to town. I love his Dallin face!
The first night we got in was Dallin's blessings and I know that we were both very grateful to be a part of it.
The next day we did some sight seeing. If I'm remembering correctly this is Mennehaha Falls. (Forgive my spelling as it is most likely wrong but I very much do not want to look it up right now.) Jason said the falls are much more spectacular in the summer but I thought this was quite picturesque as well.
Next we went down to the locks on the Mississippi. We didn't see any ships going through but it was still cool. And I totally loved this old/new building.
Aunt Mary and Dallin
Sorry if this is "too soon", but it just had to be captured! Four adults later we decided that it was probably easier to transport Dallin in the front pack. Why oh why do they make baby devices so complicated when the actual babies are already complicated enough?!?
This lego store was awesome! Lillie and Samuel totally loved these pics.
I apologize to anyone who doesn't want to look at Tim's butt, but I wanted to immortalize this shot! We had a lot of fun riding the bull at the Cadillac Bar and Grill on my b-day.
Jason looking like he came straight out of "8 seconds"
Audrey about to eat the floor. It was amazing how difficult it was to hang on even with the bull rotating so slowly!
Yum! My birthday cake at....ok Becca or Jason, please remind me what the name of this yummy place was... this cake was mah-velous!
Bye Dallin! We'll miss you! It was so fun meeting and getting to know this little guy.
Halloween:The kiddos painting pumpkins
Lillie carved her very own for the first time and did a great job! Samuel painted his pumpkin like Iron Man. It was his own idea and I think he painted as close of a likeness as you can on a pumpkin...nice work dude!
We took the kids to a pumpkin patch/ working farm this fall which they thought was great. It had hay rides and mazes, and all sorts of old timey games. Here they are playing horse shoes. All the boys in our family really dug this game.

Waiting for the Hay Ride
Samuel was a Ninja Turtle this year
Grant was a mouse. He picked this costume all on his own and told every stranger he saw all about it. He's also been talking a lot more and this year started saying "Happy Ween!", "I be mouse, ween" (I'm a mouse for Halloween), and "t or teet". Yay, speech progress!
Lillie doesn't have her mask in this pic but she was dressed like she was going to a masquerade ball.
