Happy Birthday Jon

Today is Jon's birthday. The kids and I spent the day getting presents and making cupcakes. It was a hard for me to figure out what to buy jon, but eventually I figured out a few things to get him. Dad and Mya enjoying a good book before she goes to bed.

Brooke was nice enough to help daddy blow out the candle.

The girls needed to help daddy open his presents.

saturday fun

Jon and I have been training for a marathon so yesterday was our 15 mile run. we got up early and finished our run before 9:00 am. We picked the kids up from my parents and decided to do something outside since it was such a nice day. we went to this little place in ridgewood that has a petting zoo and pumpkins. The girls loved to feed the animals and pet them. we had a fun time walking around and looking at the pumpkins. I love the fall. I can't wait to go apple picking and make caramel apples. To go get our pumpkins and carve them. I love that Halloween is just around the corner! I love the fun things that you can do in the fall! the kids and i posing for a quick picture in the pumpkins.

trek

Jon and I were a "ma" and "pa" for our stake trek this year. we had an awesome group of kids. we had a great time even though it rained most of the time. the kids had a great attitude and we learned alot from them. We can't wait for our "family" reunion in a couple of months
