On November 30th - Ashley turned one! We celebrated with pink pinatas and she got presents and her own chocolate cake to smash....she thought it was so much fun!
One of our family traditions each year is to see the lights at Temple Square. The kids love it!

Hanging out in downtown SLC.
Family pictures! This photo shoot was by far the most fun and stress free time we have ever had. The boys and Ash did great...even though it was a little chilly.
Visiting Tinkerbell in Pixie Hollow.
The boys thought that meeting Jack Skeleton was awesome! Disney transforms the Haunted Mansion to Jack Skeleton's The Nightmare before Christmas for October - December. It's great because it isn't a scary ride for kids.
Our family Halloween theme this year is Peter Pan. We have Captain Hook, Wendy, Peter Pan, the Crocodile and Tinkerbell.
Fall is one of our favorite seasons - the colors changing on the leaves, the temperatures cooling off, comfort foods....and pumpkins! Our cousins own a pumpkin farm way up north in Utah and they invited us to come to their pumpkin patch to pick out our Halloween pumpkins. We had an awesome time - thanks you guys!
