Costume run

Griffin Creek has a costume run every year. We had fun with friends this year. I ran/walked with Amber and the other three ran hard and fast. 

Fall activities

And losing a tooth in a gummy. 

 Amber high fiving her coach at soccer.

 She got to play on her cousin, Whitney's, team

Some of Ashlyn playing too.

Watching general conference and building towers. . .

. . . and cuddling on the couch.

Dallin helping make cupcakes.

Nailed it!

For family dinner one Sunday night we decided to "Nail it!" There is a show where people copy difficult recipes, and sometimes it works out and sometimes it does not. We mostly nailed it. Paul forgot about some eggs that were in the oven, so those didn't work out. 

Outings

Amber had a field trip to the pumpkin patch that I got to go on.

We went out to Ashland to take some pictures of Ashlyn in her Baptism dress, and we played at Lithia park. 

Lake of the Woods

We went up to Lake of the Woods the week before school started. We went with Jordan and Michaela and saw lots of other friends up there. You can rent a cabin after all the girls camps are finished. We had fun playing in the water, playing horse shoes, volleyball and cards.

A few Random pics and vids

Shaye is making a book for Burton with silly faces of family, so these were some my kids did. Not sure where Aslyn's is. 

Dunk Tank at the harvest carnival with the 2nd ward.

Tanner trying out his VR glasses.

Amber dancing like no one is watching. ha ha.

Wild Life Safari

Labor day we headed north to go to Wild Life Safari. We took Kris along. It was fun, but not as fun as the first time we went. It hadn't changed much, and we'd been there about 2 years ago.

 The farm animals.

Kris has a thing for flamingos.

See.

Amber is always the kid to stay closest to me, so she is in most of my pictures. 

End of Summer activities

Rylan had a birthday party that we went to. Lots of fun. So good to see Kevin's family. We don't see them enough. They have an awesome back yard.

 Tanner received the aaronic priesthood, and was lucky to have so many of his uncles there for it.

 Mickie catered a wedding and asked Michaela and me to help with it. We had done it before and it was tons of fun, so I was happy to do it again. 

 For Tanner's birthday party we went up to Emigrant Water Slides. We had family it town that weekend too, so it was a big turn out. 

There were a few races down the slides.

 Ashlyn helping me in the kitchen making macarons and showing the huge zucchinis that we missed somehow. Happened a couple times this summer.

Dallin's mysterious rash. Ew. It is hard to look at.
