Seriously, Brylee needs to take a vacation to see a grandma for a week or so... Pronto!!

Fun Run

I find it hard to get the motivation needed to go running.  Tonight an old friend called me out on it, and gave me that push I needed to get moving... with all 4 kids. 

So I loaded up the stroller and made Dallin and Cody run with me.  It really was fun.  I think we will do this again! 

Hair today, gone tomorrow...

This is what Brylee's hair has looked like since she grew it.  She has never had a hair on her head cut, before today...

Yesterday I noticed a bunch of short hairs that weren't being held in by rubber bands and they were sticking straight up.  Even Brylee noticed them, she asked if her hair was 'poinky.'

So this is her, seconds before the cutting of the bangs. 

This is after.  Now, I'm not a fan of bangs, but in this case they were necessary.  And as much as I don't like bangs, I still think she is adorable.  I also think she looks about a year older than before. 

Anyway, hair grows back, no big deal. 

Everyone has to suffer through bangs at some point, right?  ;)

Halloween

A happy cat woman, not an everyday sight.

Scary cat woman, this is more like normal. 

Everyone dressed and ready for some trick-or-treating!

While trick-or-treating door to door, Brylee made a comment about one girl that was passing out candy.  "That's the prettiest baby sitter, ever!"  (We had never met this girl before.)

Camping

Holy picture over load, Batman!! 

Brace yourself, there are a lot of pictures. 

We went camping this weekend.  It was SO fun.  The kids had a great time. 

Brian asked Cody if he was liking camping. 

Cody said, "Dad, I like it so much I'm going to pee my pants." 

Brian then said, "Why don't you say you're going to cry instead?"

Cody replied, "No, I'm going to pee my pants." 

Here is our new tent.  Thanks Aunt Casey, this is what your Christmas money from two (or so) years ago bought us! 

 We had some cooler weather this weekend.  (Ok, it was down right COLD at night!)

Here is Brylee warming up with some hot chocolate and crackers in the basket of her bike. (Which got run over while we were there.  The bike, not her)

Tate, being a big kid and drinking from a water bottle. 

Cody, warming up by the fire.  

We camped at a place called the Johnson Shut-Ins.  About 5 years ago a dam broke and washed everything away in its path down the side of the mountain.  (Including the old camp ground.  They have since moved the location for the campers.)  We took a hike up the 'scour' path.  It was pretty neat.  Lots of rocks, some cool tunnels.  All the trees had been washed away.  They now have a siren system that will go off if the dam breaks again.  We found that comforting...

Our family on the scour path.

One of the tunnels the kids crawled through.

A crack the kids crawled up.

We camped with a few other families from our ward. 

Tate, playing with rocks under the truck.  That's what babies do when they go camping, right?



Our family at Elephant Rocks State Park.  These huge granite rocks were some of the highest points around.  They were fun to climb and play on. 

It was a great weekend. We can't wait for our next camping get away. 

Oh, and FYI, Cody didn't actually pee his pants.  :)
