A few highlights of our October so far have been: our trip to Utah, Ava's dance recital, making peach jam with Tasha's family, visiting Schnepf Farms and the pumpkin patch!
This post will just be our Utah trip:
Utah is my favorite place to be in the fall: the colors of the leaves, the incredible blue skies, and, most importantly, our families!
Ava, Dillon & I spent a few days at my Mom's house in Provo and had so much fun! Reuben, Maegan, Dylan, Zach & Chase came over on Sunday for dinner and we played the best game of Nerts! (a family card game that we have played for years that can get a little crazy!)
Ava and Dillon found heaven in my Mom's backyard - they have been cooped up inside all Arizona summer and were so happy to explore outside.
Ava climbed a tree for the first time... 
Dillon chased the neighbors black cat...
We all picked grapes, apples and pears and collected colorful leaves...
We had a picnic with Grandma Wolsey at Kiwanis Park.... 
I took the kids to Sundance where we ate lunch, found more colorful leaves and had Sundance suckers!
After a few days, Brian was able to join us and we headed to Spanish Fork to spend some time with his family. As usual, Brian's Mom Susan treated us to wonderful meals all weekend long.
Dillon was completely entertained all weekend long by Toby, he loves that dog!
Ava & Dillon loved jumping on the tramp with their cousin Maddy, even when it started snowing...
Grandma Susan helped Ava & Maddy carve pumpkins...
Maddy, Ava & I watched High School Musical and had alot of fun dancing to the music...
We celebrated Jessie's birthday a little early, Happy Birthday Jess - we love you!
We were lucky enough that our trip overlapped with Shelley's family's trip, so we spent a night with them, and had an impromptu family photo shoot...
We loved our time in Utah - especially being with our Utah families!!! We hope to see you all again really soon!

So you come to Utah and you don't even call! RUDE! Just kidding. Your kids are adorable! I'm so happy you started a blog. They;re addicting...you've been forwarned! :) Stacy
Yippee! I'm so glad that you have a blog now! How fun!
Hey ya'll. Had to throw some southern in there! Great pics! When someone buys me a digital camera and teaches me how to do this I too will become a Bullard Blogger!
Love you all,
Aunt Robin
We love all the bullard's and miss you terribly! Melissa, you did such a great job on your blog -- it is awesome! The whole family gathered around the computer (is that a sign of the times or what!) to see all the pictures -- you really caught the girls attention with the HSM mention :)
We cannot wait until we see you again -- hopefully before March!

What a fun blog! It sure looks like you know what you are doing. I am new to the blog stuff myself so it took me a minute to figure out how to comment. I loved seeing all the photos of your family. I didn't even recognize Tasha and her kids. I think that is the first time I have ever seen them. She looks a lot like your mom!
I'm so glad you are finally blogging. I'm excited to see what else you guys are up to.
