Some time off in Utah

I can't believe it is almost November already!! Time really flies. Maybe that is my excuse of not blogging for the whole month.... But speaking of flying, we took the whole family on a trip to Utah this month. I was pretty nervous about flying with all three kids, but it actually went pretty smoothly. The twins didn't scream or bother too many people (According to us. Other people on the flights mayhave had differing opinions.), Parker was good about staying in his seat, and I didn't get airsick (thank you, Dramamine!). It was so fun to see Josh's family and my brother Chris and his family! Most of the Hall family had not met Wyatt and Brynley, and they made a GREAT impression by getting everyone who get near them sick with a stomach bug that we thought they were over before we came, but obviously were not. I still claim it was something people ate and NOT my kids who got them sick, but we seemed to have passed it to both Hall and Karpowitz family, leaving our family as the only probable carrier of the bug. So sorry to all who got sick!

We did enjoy the time we got to spend with our family in Utah. Here are some fun pictures of the trip...thank you Lindsey for taking all the pics, we stole them from your blog!!

Wyatt and Brynley playing outside.

Parker's new hobby: skateboarding!

Parker's "best" day! He looked forward to the BYU football game for weeks, and when we got to Utah he had to wait until the very end of the week to go. He was SO excited!

What can I say? These are the cutest babies ever! I can't believe they are already 10 months old!

Josh and I had the rare opportunity to go on a date while we were in Utah(thanks to some great babysitters! Thank you Lindsey and Linda! I think the last time we went on one was in January for our anniversary! YIKES!!) Here we are riding the lift. It was SO pretty up there! The trees were starting to change colors, and it was starting to cool off, too.

I know that everyobody likes pictures more than my blabbing on the blog, so here are a few more cute ones from the past month:

Juice anyone? The babies are learning to drink from sippies. Parker is showing them how it's done.

I wish this video were longer, my camera kept shutting off because the batteries were low. Wyatt and Brynley like to bounce, and have recently figured out how to bounce together!

The train table in Parker's room is a favorite place for everyone to play. It is the perfect height for the babies to stand up. Unfortunately, sometimes playtime is disrupted by differences in opinion on how to play. Parker likes to BUILD train tracks and play trains, and the babies are basically in the "seek and destroy anything they can find" play mode. Still cute.
