Random October

Highlights of this month: Isaac has a bike ride playdate with a friend, volunteering in Austin's classroom, 6 months prego, mommy date with Isaac and taking pics in the booth, eating dinner alone during a priesthood conf night (not cool, couldn't find the other MPA wives), Ruby potty training and getting help from her brothers (I love her bum in leggings!), announcing it's a BOY with blue cupcakes, piggy tails for Ruby, playing with VanZyverden puppies, Ruby's outfits and boots, Austin's scratched up face (putting Ruby over the fence and fell!), longboarding to school, new City Creek Provo temple, speaking at Stake Conference, Levi being mischievous with messes (Ruby too) and the boys earning money from our neighbor with their landscaping!

Kiwanis park race

Austin and Wes did a district mile race at Kiwanis Park against others in their grade. They did great! Austin got first place and Wes took third, both around 7:25. Granted there were less than 10 runners per heat, but I was still proud of them. Their morning workouts with dad are paying off! It was really chilly by evening time, reminding me that we are NOT in AZ anymore!

La Panaderia

Ruby and I discovered a little slice of heaven, la Panaderia Argentina. We headed over after someone told me about it and immediately I had memories of my mission, las facturas, las empanadas and the language. Everything is a bit overpriced (bc it can be), but worth every bite! Made me miss my mom and I had to go home and call her. This pregnant woman will be returning!

pumpkin patch

If there is a memory from this fall Pumpkin Patch, it's the phrase, "Big Pig!" Once Ruby spotted the huge hog, and her brothers kinda scared her with it...she continues to talk about it months later, whenever she is scared of something else. Having never experienced these places in AZ, the boys had a great time...the corn pile was really fun to dig into and bury yourself, and the hay ride was cool. It was nice to sneak in some well needed family time, since Jared is gone so much.
