October

October went like this-
We had a visit from Garth's sister Darcie. We went over to Garth's dad's neighbors and rode their horse.
Here's Palmer feeding the Kaufman's big old draft horse. He was a little intimidated at first but enjoyed it.
Darcie, Zoie, and Mindy.
How fun is Great Grandma Marian? This is in her yard, just up the road from our house. It's a teeter totter and a helicopter. Zoie and Palmer are riding inside while Marian and her daughter-in-law teeter the kids.

Here is Darcie holding Dexter who is growing up soooo fast! It was such beautiful weather!

We couldn't get enough of Darcie so the next weekend, I took the boys along w/Garth's mom, Tina and sister, Mindy down to Logan for more Q.T. We went to see some amazing bright red salmon that were spawning. It was incredible to see them swimming upstream to lay their eggs. I wish I could have captured their color on camera but couldn't. Something you will have to see for yourself.
Here is Zoie, Cooper, Andrew, Dexter, Mindy, Palmer and Tina. Darcie and I were behind the camera, not pictured.

Grandma Tina made sure Palmer didn't fall in and made sure he had a constant supply of sticks to throw in the water and watch run downstream.

Logan had the best farmer's market. There was a great little playground that the kids played at while we took turns looking shopping around.

Andrew, Darcie, Dexter and Zoie.

I put Dexter down on his blanket to play and Zoie put her baby next to him and then herself. I had to share the picture. She loves Dexter and took such good care of him.

October 24th we got a bunch of snow. Palmer woke up and said: "Build a snowman!" So we couldn't resist taking him out to play in it and building a snowman.

Halloween:
Palmer was a monkey, Dex was a shark. We went to Boo at the Zoo w/my best friend Beth and her 3 adorable kids. It was a blast. I love Halloween and dressing up the boys.

We of course took the boys trick or treating to their grandparents. Here is Palmer and his Grandma Tini having a whisk sword fight.
Dex with his Grandma Beth.

Palmer hugging and kissing his brother. They are becoming such good friends.

We carved pumpkins as well-here is Garth's. It turned out the best so it deserves a solo photo to really show it off. Garth is so artistic. He just free handed this!

Here are all of our pumpkins on our porch. Garth's on top, then Dexter's, mine, and Palmer's Mater pumpkin.
