Tricks and Treats

 Halloween for our family is fun and magical and this year was nothing less!

 Trey was SOOOOO excited to be a Red Soxs player especially since they won the world series the night before! 

 Kaden had a hard time deciding what to be this year. When he finally picked Dracula I think he was most excited about dying his hair black! 

 A princess dressing up as a princess...yep she's adorable! 

The ward trunk-or-treat, trick-or-treating the neighborhood and a wonderful Halloween party with great friends. I guess you could say Halloween was pretty awesome. 

Pumpkin Guts

 It finally started to feel like fall when we did our pumpkin carving night.

 The kids favorite part is cleaning out the guts of course!!

 Trey was pretty happy that he got to design, clean and carve his all on his own!

The final results...the sports fan, the One Direction groupie (she has an awesome dad who carved it for her) and Mr. Traditional!!

San Diego...a trip down memory lane!!

A few weekends ago Jeff had a conference down in San Diego so the kids and I decided to tag along. We were able to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel in the historic gaslamp district. The boys loved the hotel but thought the best part was the view of Petco Park where the Padreas play! 

 After Jeff was done with his conference we tried to see as many things as we could in such a short time. Our first stop was the Point Loma Lighthouse. The kids could not believe that a family the same size as ours could actually live in there! 

 One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the Mormon Battalion. If you are ever in the area it is worth the stop. The kids had so much fun dressing up as soldiers and panning for gold. 

 We spent a very FULL day at the San Diego Zoo! It was huge and almost too much to even see in one day but the kids enjoyed seeing a lot of unique animals. The favorites were koala's, panda bears and polar bears!!

 A cool morning at La Jolla Cove seeing the sea lions!

 Our last stop was at the beautiful San Diego Temple. This was really a trip down memory lane for Jeff and I since we spent our honeymoon in San Diego 12 years ago. It was fun to now make new memories with our cute little family!
