Month in Rewind

This post is all jumbled and out of date, but it's basically a recap/rewind of October.

Jon and the boys participated in the Telos Turkey Tri this past weekend. It was the first triathlon that Shane, Brady, and Trent had ever done and they all rocked it! I think they all had a good time and it was fun to be there to support them.

Cute little Bryn is obsessed with Buzz Light Year. Her birthday party was awesome! Jon is such a good sport and agreed to dress up as Buzz to deliver her cake to the party. She cried at first, but then eventually warmed up and wouldn't leave his side! That same night Shane flew in from Europe so we headed to the airport to give him the best welcome home party he'd ever had! Who wouldn't want Buzz, Woody, and the German Yoddler as a welcoming party?!?!

Jon received the Patriot Award from the Utah National Guard for employing a member of the armed services. His employee, Joey (left) nominated him and Jon was honored to receive the reward. Not only great for him, but also great recognition for PLS.

We finally painted our bedroom. I love how the colors turned out and now need to get all the accessories and decor up!
We hosted a fun costume party for halloween this year. We decorated our garage and had a fire pit for roasting s'mores and our BBQ going with hot dogs on the grill. Jon had a great time scaring the trick or treaters, especially the older teens. I was a treasure troll this year. Jon had no idea what a treasure troll was, so when I asked him if I looked okay, he told me I should paint my face and make it look more dirty like a real troll! ha ha.

We headed to Vegas in the middle of Oct for Jon to run the Ragnar Vegas relay. The team did an awesome job and it was fun to get down to the warmth as it rained up here! Before coming home on Sunday, we stopped at the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and Jon made me climb up on this railing to take a picture with this statue. It's hard to tell, but our bellies are about the same size!

October was a fun but crazy busy month, and November is shaping up to be the same!

Happy Thanksgiving month!
