Memories of October: Family Style
The blogging streak is over. I let a whole month pass with no pictures, words or babblings. I still can't believe it. One good reason is the virus we contracted on our computer. We have since reformatted the hard drive and are still working on getting programs and files reloaded. Kind of crazy, but they ripped down my old high school this month. 
Picture is for anyone who might be slightly sentimental like myself but hasn't seen the carnage. Mike left for a work trip early in the month and we tried to keep ourselves entertained at home for a few days with games etc. The kids wanted Joey to play a game with them. "Fishing" is the only one I could think of. We let Joey use his hands and the kids used the poles. 
Adelyn and I just finished the annual primary program presentation. I played the piano and she rattled off her part. I loved being in practices with her because she'd always try to embelish her part a little when she got to the microphone. We went to a BYU game as a family this month and enjoyed the trip. It did take all day, and we ended up eating cake for Michael's birthday at 9:00 in the evening.

Memories of October: Adelyn style
Adelyn is in her second year of preschool. Her teacher has some fun ideas! She had us come to the pumpkin patch for an outing and they each got to pick out their own. Adelyn is a sweet kind of stubborn and wouldn't pick a different pumpkin, even though I told her that the one she had picked was already squishy. I think she didn't want to make the pumpkin feel bad. 
Adelyn also loves BYU, but not because she loves football, but because it is "popular" to love BYU at our house. She worked hard to earn enough money to buy her own hat and modeled it all night long.
Chores she did to earn her hat: picked up seed pods outside, ripped out our old garden, shined dad's church shoes, helped clean the garage, swept out grandpa's garage, ran invitations around the neighborhood with mom, washed walls, etc. One day after some hard work she came inside and said, "can I just sit for a while?" Adelyn was a pumpkin for Halloween. A costume she said, "doesn't make sense." I will post a picture so you can see why.
She also caught a fish and asked, "can I kiss it?" Um, I guess...

Memories of October: Michael Style
Michael turned three this month! It was very fun! We had tickets to a BYU game that day and he was thrilled to go! Mike and I were both surprised to see how much of the game he really tried to watch. 
He wanted a basketball cake and we got a cute basketball hoop off craigslist.org for his present. 
He was also a basketball for Halloween.
Michael is such an awesome little man! I love him. He is mega concerned about what to wear every morning. He always has me laughing with what he chooses to put on each morning. 
Most days he just wants basketball shorts, rain or snow. He loves hats. The day before his birthday, Adelyn earned enough money to buy a BYU hat and he was green with envy. Little did he know that we had one all wrapped up for him the next day. 
At the lake, we had the perfect set-up for Michael... a little side lake with warmer water he could play in. He loved it.
Michael loves fishing because Daddy does, not because I think he really likes fishing. He caught a whopper. He also got a shaver for his birthday, which is very much a Michael present. He loves his daddy.

Memories of October: Joey Style
Our little Joey started crawling this month. It was so cute. He just got high on his hands and knees and took off, slowly, but very accurate. I like to call it a "mature crawl." 
On our trip to the lake, he only tolerated the lifejacket long enough to zip across the lake and find some sand.
We took him to a BYU game where he settled himself under our feet for a while to take a nap. He didn't love it. 
For Halloween he was a pre-manufactured Tigger. He stayed home with me to answer the door. We handed out somewhere between 50-100 pieces of candy. Pretty slow for this neighborhood. We expected a lot more. He is still the happiest baby ever.
