October in a Nutshell

Am I the only one who wonders where October went? We had a fun and busy month. I'll catch you up the best way I know how--with pictures:

We went to Gardner Village and had a great time enjoying the atmosphere and snacking on candied almonds.

This is how Hyrum likes to smile when he knows he's getting his picture taken.


About two seconds after we took this picture, Hyrum shoved Miles face down in the dirt and straw. Aw, brotherly love!

I got to spend some time with my roommates and dear friends from Utah State at our friend Mary's wedding. It was a reunion 6 years in the making, and it was wonderful.

Hyrum celebrated his 2nd birthday in October. It's hard to believe our little man is growing up so fast!

Even though this picture doesn't show it, he really did love opening presents!


We sure love our little 2 year-old!

Hyrum and Miles keep learning how to play together. It's so fun to watch them interact, and I'm so excited for when Miles is a little older and can keep up better with his brother.


Hyrum and Miles love to laugh at each other. They think they're funny, and I'm inclined to agree.


And last, but definitely not least, we celebrated Halloween. This year Dan added two new big props to our yard. He worked hard on them, and I think he did a great job!

Our life-size skeleton horse. It's awesome.


Believe it or not, Dan carved made this mine cart our of PVC pipe and foam. I love how it turned out!


Hyrum was Mr. Incredible this year. Taking him trick-or-treating was hilarious! As soon as he caught on that people were giving him candy when we knocked on their doors, he started to run in between houses.

So, that's October in a nutshell. It went by fast, but we did our best to enjoy every minute of it!
