This Halloween Zacky decided to be skateboarder! (such a different look from his normal day!) He just wanted to be able to take his skateboard to school! This shot is from the school parade...my favorite event!
I finally convinced Taylor to wear the spanish dancer costume...she wanted to be a ghost (my fault!) but couldn't cover her face at school so went with this from the costume box!
Kara, in retaliation against mom chose the "britney spears hee hee" costume. 
We went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood first...
we stopped by Cyd's party and trick-or treated with them for a little bit...
it rained during most of the walk (which is strange because it had been perfect all week)....at least it wasn't cold!
then we went over to kelly's to tour their 'abandoned' neighborhood and have soup and cornbread. Mom's reaction to Kara's costume was hardly what we were going for!
I told Kimmy to wear Kelly's old costume as a hint to Devin.....Bryan said she should have had a sign that said available and ready to go! :)
Zacky played completely cool during the war-heads experiment!
LOTS of candy as usual!
One of Kelly's neighbors had this set up!
Jeff actually wore the NASTY La La costume we found!
the boys had their last game of fall...it was a sad one! We lost by 3 and Bryan was very crabby...I swear, his coaching is going to lead to our demise!
Tiff whipped out the candy for some cheering up! Our season started off ridiculously strong, but the last few games, the boys have not been themselves :(
Melisa tried to add some humor by yelling boobs out of bryan's famous megaphone :) didn't work, he was way too crabby!
we went to Purple Turtle afterwards....
For wolf den, we went to the park for some flag football. It was way too beautiful outside to be inside! Zacky, Seth and Alec got in trouble for arguing with the ref (melisa) and being too competitive....what a surprise!
we went to watch seth's last football game. zacky played football with alec on the sidelines since alec is still on 'rest' from sports. 
zacky helped me make homemade noodle soup while Taylor was at ice skating..it was truly the best we've ever had and more importantly, we had a fun time together :(
we went to the skate park and of course the boys spent many hours skating at Kelly's and on the ramp at home. They love it!
We went riding at Grandma's. The girls did great and had lots of fun! (Taylor's first time in an english saddle!)
I jumped on Beethoven too.
Beethoven is out and Seven is in with Taylor.
We had family tennis at Lone Peak. Taylor did great! We can actually play now :) She loves it! 
...the boys skateboarded!
The boys are dying to learn guitar...they even wrote a song together and performed it for us :) We ordered a guitar dvd and will start our lessons soon :) they just sit in awe while watching kimmy and kara play!
Bosten and Kambridge came over to play night games with Taylor and Noelle and some neighborhood friends.
Kimmy still can't move the left side of her forehead...we find it amusing :)
we took all the kids on a hike in Alpine. It was a tough hike, but beautiful! 
our yearly Taylor and Noelle fall shot :)
The girls helped grandma gayle up the hill...it was STEEP!
the boys led the way...
We went to support Tom Grieve at his graduation and Taylor helped out with Ethan Tetro. He LOVES her. He slept on her lap the entire time at Los Hermanos! She's SO excited to start babysitting when she turns 11.
Los...we finally all made it after some serious traffic out of Thanksgiving Point (bryan got back from Toronto just in time :)
on Saturday we went to Provo Canyon for a bike ride. It was a perfect day and we had a great time biking to Bridal Veil Falls. We loaded all the bikes in Grandmas truck!
bridal veil
Zacky had a soccer game Saturday evening in Murray. They lost, but had fun playing on the ghetto playground afterwards :)
We went up AF canyon for foil dinners and smores. We cooked them ahead, but still needed some extra fire time...especially for Bryan's gi-normous dinner!
have you ever seen a foil dinner that large!?
somehow this always happens...the boys were trying to get kara in the river!
on Monday, we went back up the Alpine trail, because we didn't have time to make it to the waterfall on Friday. This time Jeff carved spears for the kids to protect us from bears :)
Zacky hit rocks together to deter the bears...the kids stayed closer this hike after Jeff's bear talk!
It was a tough hike! Almost 4 hours round trip! Luckily we had oreos! (poor Brittany called Taylor that morning, but had no idea what she was getting in to!)
We FINALLY made it. Beautiful view of the valley! we had our sandwiches and jumping pictures :)
We stopped at the HUGE boulder on the way down...Kara was actually scared :) and Taylor almost didn't make it back down the rock!
