Happy Halloween from Nintendo World

Halloween this year was fun. I didn't go all out on making our costumes like I did last year, but buying things made for a less stressful time. I did make the boys overalls though. They only took me 2 half days worth. It was sweet. 

 I love this picture because the boys were trying to be like the real Mario Brothers in the game.

 Jesse doesn't really care to dress up.I tried to get him to be Bowser, but he wasn't feeling it this year, but when I came across this shirt I knew it was perfect.

Wild Rose Trail

 Since the weather is so warm and the mountains are painted with the most beautiful colors right now, we took the family on a short hike not too far from our house. It was SO GREAT! I don't know if I'm just finally noticing how beautiful fall is, or the leaves are extra spectacular this year? Even just driving around on the roads I noticed how colorful the entire mountains are. It's incredible. The mountains have been pulling me to them so much lately and I love being in them.

I remember as a young woman thinking how terrible a hike sounded. I guess I must be getting old, because I genuinely enjoy a good hike. Especially with my boys.  And what a better way to have FHE than in the mountains together.

At the top of the Wild Rose Trail there was such a pretty view of the whole city.

As we were up at top we were watching the sun start to set and I noticed that the boys were jumping and they wanted me to take a picture of them.

Then I had to laugh when Fynn falls into play with his older brothers. Fynn loves his older brothers and copies them all the time. This picture makes me laugh because Fynn reminds me of a little ET al squatting down like that.

CrossE Ranch

It's been a tradition to go to CrossE Ranch every year as a family and the past couple of those years our friends (The Jenkins) have joined us in that tradition. The Ranch has grown so much because this year it was bigger than ever. Which made for a fun time for the kiddos. 

 Between the Cornpit, hayslides, bounce pads and cornmaze we had such a good time.

 The weather was comfortably warm, which makes me so happy for October. I love me a warmish fall. No need to hurry into winter just yet.
