October

 

Eden pretends that she doesn't like Easton (she just prefers Blair over all her siblings) but every once in a while I will catch her like this.  

Cousin It

Cousin It with a mustache.  

Easton and Dyer finally got their glasses!

The youth are back at it!  This was the 2nd temple trip back after COVID shut everything down.

They actually have to go to Sacramento temple now instead of Oakland because last time Oakland would only allow 14 people (adults included) to go at one time.  

I thought we had legos for things like this...

oh well, I guess plates and cups work just as well to build towers!

Dyer's contraption 

Easton's science fair project

Testing different materials aka masks to see which material works best at preventing germs from escaping.

He put material on one end of a pvc pipe fitting and tightened it to a pvc pipe that had a paper tube inside to catch germ powder.  On the other end of the pvc pipe fitting he put germ powder in it and used an air cannon to push air and the germ powder (cough) towards the material.

That face!!!

The missionaries came over and the boys showed them their new lightsabers they got when we went to Disneyland earlier in October.  Next post will be Disneyland!

The boys were all fighting and somehow Dyer ended up splitting the back of his head open (small cut but with all head wounds-it bleeds a lot!)  He didn't even notice until he got blood everywhere!  Blood all over his white church shirt and over most of my decorative pillows!  It was crazy!

Truck or Treat:

We went to Valerie's ward's truck or treat.  We didn't make it to our ward's truck or treat because we went to Six Flags with Nathan's sister's family instead.

This year we decided to do TMNT (ninja turtles)

I actually decorated our trunk this year!

Nathan was working so he met us there later that is why he isn't in the picture.  I wish I would have gotten another one but honestly I thought we would have dressed up again...

Me (April O'Neil), Eden (Splinter), Blair (Donatello), KK (Raphael), Easton (Michelangelo), Valerie (Shredder's ninja), Dyer (Shredder), and Blakely (Leonardo).  Nathan was Casey Jones.

Blair decided to dress Eden up as a model and take pictures of her...

Six Flags with Nathan's sister's family.  I didn't get any pictures with them because for the most part I was in a different part of the park with the two youngest girls.

Train ride

Eden went on the roller coaster with Nathan.  She did not like it one bit!  I find it odd that she can go on this ride but can't on other tamer rides.  I guess the only difference is that she rides this with an adult where as the other tamer rides she can't because she isn't tall enough to go on it by herself and adults are too tall to go on it with her...

Most of the time we couldn't go on rides because it was just me with two little kids...

Eden had fun digging in the dirt!

KK went on this ride at least 20 times!!!  It was one of the few rides still open that she could ride by herself.  Eden was too short and I was too tall....

KK hated this ride when we came here for her 3rd birthday.  They actually had to stop the ride to let her off because she was bawling so much.  It's funny how your least favorite ride becomes your absolute favorite ride!

Decorating Halloween/Fall sugar cookies:

This is actually a bat shape but Easton decided to just decorate it randomly...It ended up looking like a fox!!!

Cute little helper!

Some of the kids' favorite cookies!

We realized later that we decorated this one upside down...oops!

Ninja turtle!

Blair's science project-DNA mutations!
