We started out shopping at the outlets and then went to lunch at Red Rock Cafe. It's a tiny little cafe and our large party took up a good part of the restaurant. The food was delicious and the company even better. Some of our party had to sit at the bar because there wasn't enough room. I never thought I'd see my mom and Aunt Rona hanging out at "the bar" together!
After lunch we headed to Train Town. It's a cute little place. The kids all loved it. For us adults it was great to have the time to chat and let the kids play together.
Some gorgeous ladies and one handsome little man, 
On the train.
Lani was the best animal feeder. The kids were all afraid of them!
That's all of us in the mirror!
We have to do this again, soon. Love them!
Nothing better than hearing those two words said in a sweet little British accent. I was able to spend Thursday through Monday with these two cuties! Isobel is so much fun to have around. She is polite, sweet, fun and way older than 3. I told her she could stay with us forever and seriously I would take her! She is such a good girl. Her dancing is hilarious and she is so smart. She was beyond exhausted but I never once witnessed a melt down. My boys had a blast with her and they are anxious to spend a whole week with her over Thanksgiving. Oliver is so handsome but for now, very attached to his parents. I'm hoping that will change once he is rested up next week! I'm so glad the Phillips are in California for the rest of the month. 
Do you ever win anything? Me neither. However, today I got an email from Charlene at Frugal Adventures stating I had one the giveaway for a new Britax Marathon CS car seat! Whoo Hoo! I feel like I just won a million bucks. I guess it does pay to enter those giveaways!
The most important part of last weekend was Tate's blessing. Jody gave him a beautiful blessing and he was quiet the whole time. Everyone kept commenting on how he good he was. He really is a very good baby. He still seems to be a mixture of the other two boys. Have I mentioned he smiles now? It is so precious. Every morning when he wakes up he nurses and then smiles and coos at me. It makes all of the lack of sleep well worth it! I can't believe he is already two months old. I think he may end up being blonde like Ammon was as a toddler. He has blonde eyebrows and his roots look blonde. We're also anxious to see what color of eyes he will have. So far they look pretty blue. 
Wow what a busy week we had. Jody's parents came on Tuesday night and stayed until Monday. It was so great to have their company and much welcomed/needed help! I know they were exhausted when they left to go back home. Cindy came to Ammon's field trip with me (the pictures were taken on her camera because my battery died) and then on Friday she went with me to Ammon's parade and party and then to Cohen's party. Rylee scored by getting to enjoy two parties which equaled lots of food and sweets for her. My parents came on Friday night just in time to go to the church Halloween party. Saturday started with Ammon's soccer game and then to his school Halloween carnival, ending with trick or treating. Whew. I think we were all exhausted. 
Cindy stayed home to pass out candy and the rest of us went out trick or treating. Rylee caught on very quickly. She was so cute in her little witch costume and would only hold my mom or dad's hand. If I tried to grab it she would pull away. Cohen got an almond joy at one house and yelled out, "Why did they give me nuts? I don't even like nuts!" It was pretty funny. As usual the boys got way too much candy. Cohen doesn't handle too much sugar very well. He was literally bouncing off the walls all weekend. They had so much fun with both sets of their grandparents.
Tate the slept the whole time. He is such a good baby and especially loves to be on the go because he will sleep for hours at a time if there is lots of noise and motion. He loved being held by his Grandmom and it was so nice for me! 
Cohen made the perfect Harry Potter. He originally wanted to be a Power Ranger but his friend from preschool was going to be Harry Potter and so he decided to be the same.
Ammon thought it was pretty cool that he got to spray his hair orange at his soccer game.
Wolverine. 
Our baby Giraffe.
And the little witch.
Rylee took FULL advantage of both of her brother's parties.
Cindy you were such a great help and wonderful company to drag along to everything.
