Fall, Fishing and Family Festivities!

Nate took Cody fishing/sailing with his dad and brother down to Lake Powell:

Beautiful views.


Cutest little fisherman!


Paul in his element.

I turned 29 and Nate went all out with an amazing dinner of stuffed mushrooms, crab, yummy salad and bread, fondue, and a birthday pumpkin cheesecake! Topped off with the best birthday present treasure hunt for birthday cash, perfect birthday, thanks Nate!


My family all went out of state and Nate's family came in state, so we had Thanksgiving dinner at his parents house with his sister Sarah's family.

Taking care of the kids table first

The next day we had a big family party with the whole Tanner clan. We did family pictures, Chris and Brittany blessed their little girl Addyson, we exchanged birthday gifts for Paul and some early Christmas presents, WHEW!

Cute little family!

These pictures were not the easiest to take, it was funner watching all the parents in the background!

All the cousins born in 1 year and 1 month: In birth order, not pictured order: Evia, Jack, Brianna, Baylee and Addyson. The 3 youngest little girl-cousins, all born in one month, thanks Aunt Liz for the cute hats!

I love October

It's sad to see summer go, but I love the bright fall leaves! We tried to do some family photos up Farmington canyon's beautiful backdrop. The One that kind of turned out is on the right side of the page as our family photo, but here are some of my favorites:


Candid and more realistic depictions of our boys and us!


The red leaves were really that bright, it was really pretty!

We went with some of the cousins, Aunts and Grandma Watt on a hayride/pumpkin picking excursion at J&J's. So much fun!


Nate took the boys fishing frequently.


HALLOWEEN! I love this holiday, Nate does not. So I made the boys costumes solo, dressing them up according to one of their new favorite shows as well something suitable to their personalities! Thing One and Thing 2 from The Cat in the Hat:

Can you see my awesome pumpkin behind Cody/Thing 1?!


I made Baylee this cute Halloween bow/headband to go with this shirt I got at Target. We stayed out of the rain and passed out the candy while Nate took the boys trick-or-treating. They came back soggy but satisfied with their candy conquest. Their fun wigs had shriveled in the rain, and they looked SO funny!
