a lot to update on! (long with LOADS of pictures!)

I again have been a super big slacker. October was a great month! We spent two of the weekends in Sacramento for my cousin Brandon’s mission farewell and the next weekend for a baby blessing. My best friend Lauren and her husband Adam blessed their sweet baby Aiden in their ward. It was my first time seeing baby Aiden and he is adorable and so sweet!

Halloween was the same weekend as the blessing, so Deric and I got to take the girls (natalie and brooke) around trick or treating! I haven’t been trick or treating door to door in a LONG time! It was a lot of fun to run around the neighborhoods with the girls! Deric and I decided to dress up as Raggedy Anne and Andy. Most of the parents knew who we were but a lot of the kids had NO clue! 

 

We also got side swiped going down the grapevine on the way to Sacramento the 2nd weekend. Luckily NOTHING bad happened to us. Just got some rubber on the side of our car. But Deric did spend the rest of the next day with my brother Brian learning how to change brakes and putting on new tires!

 

We just booked out tickets to come home for Christmas! We will be in Spokane the 21st-2nd! I can NOT wait! It is going to be SO much fun. I am so looking forward to spending a lot of time with family and playing in the snow and sitting around playing games! I am so excited for Christmas!

I love Halloween and fall! Pumpkin seeds, bags full of leaves, leaves covering the ground that crinkles under your feed, the crisp fall air. This is my favorite season! These two have one of the best relationships! Jillian is most definitely  lucky to have Brookie Cookie has her older sister!  Nathan “posing” for me in the tree! Okay is she NOT the cutest strawberry ever? We took her trick or treating with us for a while! At first she was a little hesitant to go to peoples doors, but after about 2 houses she realized that EVERY house gave her candy. She was running ahead of all of us to get to the houses! It was very cute to see a short little strawberry running down the side walk!

  This is Elder Brandon Treadway! WHAT AN AMAZING KID! He entered the MTC last Wednesday! He will be serving a 2 year mission for our church in Cebu Phillipeans. He is an amazing man and I can’t wait to hear about all of his adventures and am very excited to see him again in 2 years!    These kids are so cute! I lived with them for about a year and half! WHERES WALDO!!!!! Kept them busy for a good hour! well if she wont smile Nathan will make her!

They had to check the football scores during Brandon’s missionary farewell!
