E's Fall Fun

First was a visit to the Santa Ana Zoo.

 These two monkeys sure saw a lot of monkeys.

 He could have stayed in this position all day staring at the animals.

 Next up was Tanaka Farms to find the perfect pumpkin. We started with a wagon ride.

 Then we headed to the petting zoo.

 Animal lover.

 Harvesting the garden.

 Look at all the veggies they got! Happy kiddos!

 Cute pumpkin cousins!

Happy boy about to find his perfect pumpkin.

 Perfect pumpkins found!

Great day with me and my baby.

Nike Women's Half Marathon

 Can you see my name? I went with some of my closest friends to San Francisco to run the Nike Women's Half Marathon. 

 Kelli came a little later but Nike sure did a great job putting this race together.

 I love this city! Great views everywhere you go.

 Hurry for a girls trip!

 More great views with great ladies.

 Trolley ride

 Carb loading before the race. Yum!

 The race begins... uphill we go.  There was lots of people and it started early in the morning but once you got going it was a great race with lots to see.

 Just look at all those people. Of course there were lots of hill, we're in San Fran after all, but going in to the race you knew that so I didn't mind too much.

 More great views!

 Race face runner but I had to get a selfie with with Golden Gate Bridge. 

 There were so many people we didn't even realize we practically ran the race next to each other. Our time was less than a minute apart. Bummer we didn't know so we could have been with each other.

 My results. A little slower than I would have liked but with the hills I guess it'll do.

We Finished!!

A's Antics

 A wants chickens really bad. She has these two littles convinced we are getting them and naming them Sammy and Boopba. 

 Who knows where she got this deer craft but she and D had a great time putting it together.

 They named it Scott since their uncle loves to hunt deer.

 A showing off her gardening skills she learned while doing a 10 hour project for Young Women's. Also showing her eating skills.

I just threw in a picture of E and his playgroup buddies:)

General Conference in SLC

 We headed to Salt Lake City, Ut the weekend of General Conference with our friends the Rydells. Both families only brought the oldest two kids. We got in just in time for Big B, A and B to hit the BYU football game.

 Safe to say they had a good time.

 The next day we headed into downtown to the conference center to try and get tickets to conference. 

 We were able to get 8 tickets for us all to get in!

 Lots of family selfies this trip.

 Great friends in a great place.

 After the morning session we headed up to Park City to spend sometime in the mountains. We did the Alpine coaster.

 Then we half of us took mountain bikes up the ski lift and rode down and the other half of us hiked around and took the lift back down.

 And another selfie.

 I love a good family adventure.

 B and Fletch hiking around.

 Rainbow

 Beautiful views!

 We got into another session of conference on Sunday. This was the best I could do to get a picture of the prophet.

 All of the leaders of the church.

 Such a great feeling to be there in person.

 Then we walked around the temple.

We did get to see some family and pay tribute to the old breeze that my grandpa owned and then Big B and I had before passing it on to his sister. It finally died.

It was a great trip!
