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!
