Well we carved our pumpkins on Tuesday evening! Kyla chose the monster for her pumpkin. I was showing her different images/faces online that she could put on her pumpkin, which she liked, but she really wanted the monster. I am not as creative as Zane when it comes to drawing/carving so I went with Der. And of course Zane has to create his own design on his pumpkin!

This past Saturday I went to Maggiano’s to meet up with a few girls that I went to High School with. Most of them I had not seen for 12 years. We had a lot of fun and did a lot of catching up. Since we all don’t live to far from each other I think we will be planning to do meet ups more often!
The best thing was that even after so many years of not seen each other, it sure didn’t seem like it when we started chatting!!

It was so nice the other Saturday that we decided to go out on a trail before the snow prohibits us. One of the other reasons we went was because Brian bought a cruiser and wanted to take it out. We tried out Red Elephant Hill, but the trail got to narrow and we turned around. Kyla wanted to ride with Brian on the way out.
I thought it was so funny when we first started the trail, Kyla said,”Zane stop! Zane stop, I am trying to put my lipstick on.” No wonder Tia Nessi and her get along so well.

Brian was testing his stock suspension.

When we got off the trail we went across I-70 to the first obstacle on Spring Creek. Zane wanted me to ride in the Cruiser for the obstacle, so we took Barrett out and put him in Brian’s with Kyla. They were both sleeping at this point.

Every year we go to Rock Creek Farm up in Broomfield to find our pumpkins. It is by far the best, you get to drive out on their fields and then pick from a huge selection of pumpkins. Many of the pumpkins you have to cut off the vine! This year the pumpkins are such a great size! They also have some farm animals, a haybale maze for kids, a corn maze for everyone, and all the yummy goodies of fall!!

Zane was able to finally take the Cruiser to Moab! He went with Matt and Brian and some of Matt’s friends. Zane felt bad for leaving me home alone with the kids, so I told him that he could drop us off in Gypsum and we could hang with the Jaramillo’s and he didn’t have to feel guilty.
So here are a few pictures from his trip! This was about two weeks ago.

Kyla making some of her silly faces.

Our ward had a Renaissance Festival the other week that we went to. Kyla enjoyed getting her face painted and wearing her fairy wings. Oh and we can’t forget her tutu!! We all enjoyed the funnel cake!
