October Recap

I'm realizing now how busy October was for us. Busy with fun things, that is. The weather stayed pretty temperate, so we were able to enjoy the outdoors as often as we wanted.

More ticklish by the day!

A beautiful day at the park on Friday after dance.

We love that our Cherry Hill passes carry over into Scary Hill. We didn't use them near as much as we wanted to, but it was fun while it lasted! 

tractor Rides through the graveyward, Rockwall (which the girls learned was a lot harder not in their swimsuits), Astro Blasters, and a mini golf. 

Claire was on one while we were leaving, and I was dying watching her pose and dance in her own little world

I found this in the backyard and laughed when I did. I asked Sofia about it later, and she said that she had written that while Claire had made her mad. If that's as mad as Sofia gets, her teenage years might not be so bad after all.

We really need a horse.

Date night with Claire while Sof was at a birthday party! We had a lot of fun on the new deck with our firepit.

Claire woke up one morning and magically decided she knew how to say her C and K sounds. She figured it out all by herself, and I'm so proud of her! 

Claire in her own time, people. She beats to the tune of her own drum.

Cousins were in town one weekend and we crashed their hotel to swim in the pool

It was awesome!

I started to have a lot of fun having Quincey as my little model for Eclair + Co.

I needed a break from Claire one day, so I put her in her room and went outside for a few minutes to myself. I turned around and found this - it was slightly terrifying! Sometime I feel like she's everywhere!

Greg planned a Saturday to be shuttled up to one of the resorts (I'm sure he told me which one) and ride back down. He sure picked a good weekend, complete with bone-chilling termperatures and snow.

He came home a mess.

I found her in action! Her balance amazes me every time.

Claire is hilarious. She sure keeps us on our toes!

It was State XC one day and we did our best to watch Shelby run. It was in North Salt Lake, so it was super convenient for us to go! So many nerves hit me for her as I relived this day in my mind. It was at a different course for me, but the feelings were still there! Those girls are amazing. And, CHS took 1st in State. They haven't done that for 16 years - when I helped my team win my Sophomore year :).

Quincey turned 7 months old!

And she does not hold still!

We found Claire's Christmas dress in October. She came walking slowly out of her room one Sunday wearing it, and I had to let her. How beautiful is she?!
