Quick Stop October: 5 Mos

Halloween was a blast this year with Jadyn. She was soooo into it. We must have practiced trick-or treating that whole month. Sandwich bags, purses, groccery bags, gift bags...you name it...she held it out to me and said "trick-or-treat!" over and over and over again until I relented and gave her a treat. She loved going out with all the neighborhood kids on the actual night. She refused to stop to the point that her little bucket was dragging along her side because of the abundance of candy.

Jace and I were Batman and Catwoman. We were pretty awesome and I wanted a picture, but somehow I misplaced my mask once I went to look for the camera. I suppose the world was not ready for us to reveal our identity. 

And we had the first snow!

Quick Stop September: 4 mos

Well look there. I died in the bloggosphere. Just poof!

Apparently I am a woman of habit because the exact same thing happened last year.

And again, I will have to speed through these months I have missed so I can get to where I remember things again. Here's a quick look at September...

Day 97-100: Anniversary Trip

For our anniversary we took a family trip to Estes Park, the very same Estes Park where we spent our honeymoon. Instead of our cushy bed and breakfast suite, this time we camped...with two kids. It was awesome. Jadyn got overwhelmed with happiness throughout the day when she noticed we still weren't going inside. We ended up with both kids in our sleeping bag each night so we may have looked a little less than desirable half the time, but that's the beauty of marriage. Ya love each other anyways! We hiked, napped, made delicious dutch oven dinners...and it was long enough that we were ready to go home after three days.

 

By the way, next year we are doing a trip ALONE. 

Day 96: Camping Practice

For our anniversary this year, we decided to take the kids on a camping trip in Rocky Mountain National forest, then spend some time in Estes Park. We had our honeymoon in Estes. Jadyn was so excited about the trip, she wanted to practice sleeping in a tent. So she did. She slept in her little tent the entire week before. She also wanted Jaxon to get some good practice in.

Day 95: Jadyn teaches Jaxon a song

Day 94: Cowgirl Boots

Couldn't resist. 

Day 93: When you buy a blow torch...

Creme Brule should definitely follow.

Day 92: Church Carnival
