I am so so behind on my blog. I really don't have any excuse.... yes I was busy. But not to busy to keep up on my blog. Maybe that will be my new years resolution. To not get behind in my blogging. But in the meantime enjoy this very lengthy post on our September through November. Because we had lots of fun during those months!
Because we could we went to the zoo..... as usual. And like all the times we have gone before we had fun this time too.
Our ward had a daddy daughter dance. It was Hawaiian themed. The girls had so much fun... although Reagan mainly had fun taking off and dancing with her friends. Kaylin loved eating all the treats and hanging out with dad.
This little one loves her books and I am constantly finding her laying down "reading". I love that she loves books so much.
We spent lots of days hanging out and cuddling.
We also pulled out all our Halloween decorations. Kaylin was obsessed with all our masks. She would run and fin any one that she could. Whenever I told her it was time to take it off so she could nap or eat we had a major meltdown.
A bunch of my family was able to come up for Phoenix's football game. He has been playing flag football this season and he has done so good. He has loved being so successful at a sport. He sometimes struggles with certain aspects of sports. But flag football works really good for him.
We also got to go attend my nephew's baptism. He was baptized in a lake in American Fork. It was a beautiful day.
I spent much of my September and October getting our costumes and treats ready for our big trip to Disneyland.
We spent many days at the bus stop.... waiting.... ready for school.
My dad took all of us girls on a date. He took us to see Idena Menzel. She was super awesome vocal wise. But she was also a little crazy. She kept sipping a drink while on stage. After a while we were wondering what was in that drink. But it was fun to hang out with my wonderful family.
We played hard and we wore these kiddos out.
Me and my friend took our kids over to the gristmill by our house for the pumpkin walk and festivities. The kids had a great time. It is always fun to go to these events.
Reagan loved helping me make dehydrated cinnamon apples. She would get so upset if I made any without her.
The week before Halloween our zoo did their annual Boo at the Zoo. We had so much fun. My parents, niece and nephew joined us that day. The kids looked adorable and it was great to get geared up and ready for Disneyland.
After the zoo grandpa took most of the grand kids, Aunt Alecia, and Steve to the BYU football game. The two littlest stayed home with mom and grandma. They had fun putting on their lips and going for a ride with Elmo at Walmart.
The next day we had a party at our house to carve pumpkins. We had a nice big feast and got to do indoor trick or treating.
The kids loved their festivities at singers company and scouts right before Halloween.
Well the big day had finally come.... the day we left for Disneyland. This day seemed to take forever to come and then all at the same time it came so fast. We had so much fun. Way to much fun. Our best friends told us they were going to come down for one day and then surprised us by staying with us for two days. It was great. We were able to help with each other with kids and ride so many rides. The kids loved having Uncle Merrill and Aunt Shannon with us. We did something really special on this trip and we went trick or treating at Disneyland. We ended up with a whole grocery bag full of candy from all the candy stops. And they give you really good candy. We got to ride splash mountain over and over again due to no line.... which was surprising seeing as it was 90 degrees that night. We were so hot and exhausted by the end of the night. But by far one of the coolest experiences was the following. All the villains come out on Halloween night. The evil step mother from Cinderella came over the this little boy (who was handicapped). She bent down to his level and asked him what he was doing that night. He told her he was trick or treating. She then went on and asked him if he was a prince. To which he replied yes. She then screeches as she does in the movie for her two daughters. When they came over she explained how this little boy was the best prince she had ever met and her daughters were to become his wife. The beaming smile on this little boys face was so priceless. My kids had so much fun watching this. Phoenix exclaimed after words that was such a cool experience.
We loved eating at Goofy's Kitchen. It was so fun to have all the characters come on over to us and spend some quality time with us all. We loved seeing all the characters and experiencing it all with our kids. We were definitely exhausted by the end. But we can't wait to go back already.

| Reagan says splash mountain was her favorite ride.... despite her face she loves it. |
While down in California we wanted to do new family pictures. Getting all three kiddos to look and smile was quite the feat. And we had to bribe with milkshakes. But in the end we got it done!! PHEW!! I loved how they turned out. Now to decide which one to put up on my wall.
When we got back from California Reagan was desperately wanting a hair cut. She had been hating how tangled her hair would get and was annoyed with me doing it all the time. So I brought out the scissors and cut off 4 1/2" of hair. She was in heaven. She loves her new do and I am finally getting use to it.
We were also able to go to our nephew's wedding. We had fun catching up withe Steve's brother and nephew Derek. Reagan loved hanging out with her cousin.
For Thanksgiving we went down to my parents house. We all went out and saw the good Dinosaur. it was super cute and it was a fun night.
Phoenix got to spend the night at my parents house on Thanksgiving. So when I met up with my parents me and my sister decided to take him to the lights at temple square. It was beautiful and fun. And FREEZING!!
Okay we are now finally caught up..... Hopefully I will not get this far behind again.
