The first half of October was filled with lots of autumn fun (in addition to apple orchards and theater life). The boys found lots of leaves on our walk around the neighborhood loop.
Our trees had gorgeous red leaves, but didn't fall on the ground until after Halloween, so it was nice to borrow leaves from the neighbors.
Jeremy did some winter prep work in the garden and discovered these carrots!
The boys love to watch their morning shows. It was cute to find them like this one day.
Tanner loves school and is working hard on his writing.
Our cousin from California is serving a fulltime church mission in Minnesota and is currently stationed in southern Minnesota. He was visiting our town to do some work with other missionaries, and he came to our house! He's the one on the left.
Renton (aka Elder Bryan) taught our boys a lesson about how we believe that Jesus Christ has called prophets and apostles on earth today in the same way that He called prophets and apostles when He lived on earth. I was at rehearsals during Renton's visit, but Jeremy got some of the lesson on video. I was really excited about the visit bcause it's a rare opprtunity to see any family members on their mission, let alone in your own hose! I thought that Grandma Davidson must have smiled on her two grandsons as they taught about Jesus Christ in the special roles of father and missionary to her great-grandsons.
The guys had some fun in Jeremy's man cave, too.
Tanner had a play date with one of his best friends. They collected rocks together. The weather was so nice almost the whole month of October!
Dallin got his first professional haircut. We've had trouble cutting his hair by ourselves lately. Tanner didn't get his haircut because his hair doesn't grow as fast as Dallin's.
Dallin was really excited when I told him where we were going. (He has seen both Jeremy and Tanner get their haircut here). He kept saying "that tickles" and he smiled a lot. He loved choosing his sucker when he was done and stomped and danced around so proudly.
At the Nature Center, the boys were very excited about the new parking lot getting built.
Four or five tractors were working at once, so we watched for awhile.
We enjoyed a beautiful walk on the trails. It was actually my birthday this day! It feels great to be 32, with so much to live for! After the Nature Center, we made some Halloween Boo-baskets as my birthday project and delivered them to several friends. It was my first time ever doing those since I was a kid, and it was really fun.
Later that day, we ate cake. I used the candles from Tanner's 2nd and 3rd birthdays to make my age, haha. Jeremy was out of town, so that's why I only have selfies of me with my sweet boys.
I figured out how to use my baby carrier that I got in Guatemala. Dallin fit really well!
Jeremy had a great time at his marketing convention in Orlando.
There was a special performance with one of the Jonas brothers and his new band.
Jeremy learned a lot from all the different businesses that presented. It was a very cool trip for him, very grateful he could go!
Meanwhile, my life was pretty comfortable cuddling with my little Love Bug.
One day, these wonderful people were at my house all at the same time! They were each there for different reasons, and it ended up being a fun afternoon with them.
We ate out at Chinese buffet, I think the day that Jeremy got back from his trip.
Jeremy had his 32nd birthday six days after me. For his birthday project, he went above the normal "bring doughnuts to work on your birthday" tradition. He brought his top favorite treats: dark chocolate, apples with caramel (which happened to be on fruit pizza), gummy bears and beef jerky. Talk about having a sweet tooth!
He's one HOT 32 year old!
We ate at a Pho Restaurant for Jeremy's birthday dinner.
Then we went to stake conference at church. We let the boys play in the primary room while we listened to the talks through the speaker system from the chapel.
We found Renton at the conference! (This was actually one of the main reasons we came to Rochester. We could have watched the conference on TV at our church building in Austin).
Tanner was really excited to see Renton. You can't see him in this shot, but Renton is looking down talking to Tanner.
We had a little suprise for Renton and his companion. It's a t-shirt with Paul Bunyan carrying an armful of Spam.
Dallin was so adorable to play with out in the sand one morning. He was really excited about wearing this penguin hat in the cooler weather. It quickly became his favorite winter hat.
