It’s officially autumn in Page! Yay! The weather has cooled off; our average daily high is about 70 degrees…perfect! We’re seeing beautiful fall colors, too!
We had a busy October with a family reunion at Arches, General Conference, a sleep study, a primary program, and a business trip to New Hampshire (Ryan).

Oh, and Janey spent some time behind bars in the Page Hospital for pneumonia. (she's all better now)

We had a great Halloween!

Taylor and Callie went to a fun party, and Callie created her costume for it- a beautiful pink fairy! What a cute girl!

We carved some awesome pumpkins, and had lots of fun and spooks while trick-or-treating. Janey even got a treat!
Taylor and Callie braved the scary chainsaw guys and tall monster...

What cute characters we have!

Now, the first weekend of November, Page has its big festival: the Balloon Regatta!

The night glow is the best...all of the ballooners set up on main street and give us a light show!

Well, we hope you all had a great October as well, and we look forward to the holidays just around the corner...CHRISTMAS TIME IS COMING!!!

Lots of "new!"

So, we'll catch up quick...we've had a lot this week!

Taylor's birthday was Tuesday, and he had a superhero dress-up party with cousins and a friend. Being six is much bigger and better than being five! Wolverine and Spiderman (and Taylor) are the best!

Wednesday, Janey got cute new glasses! She's adorable, of course, and looks very studious!

Saturday we went to our new favorite swimming spot at the lake, and went on to explore more fun bays and beaches to play at on future outings! The kiddos had a blast in the water, and we even got them both to jump off the rocks into the "deep end" (with life jackets, of course)! We saw a few fish, lots of lizards, and Taylor discovered a crawdad! We loved playing in the waves that crashed when boats went by, and exploring underwater with a snorkel. What fun we have at the lake!

First Grade!

Taylor has finished his first week of FIRST GRADE!!! We are so proud and excited for him! He got an awesome new Transformers lunch box, along with a Crayon sandwich box and thermos. He has decided that he wants the same lunch every day for school...we'll see how long that lasts! Anyway, Tay is so pumped for school! He was a little nervous at first, but after we went to meet his teacher the day before his first day, and he saw that she was his old primary teacher and that they have a cool classroom (with gerbils!), he got super excited. He kept saying: "When is it going to be nighttime? I want to go to bed so I can go to school!" He has even stayed excited all week! He tells us each afternoon the new friends he made that day. Hurray!

Congrats buddy; what a big boy!

first day--COOL DUDE
