A little bit more fall

I know I put up some of our Halloween already, but here are a few from actual Halloween

I bought this costume for Mylee last year from a thrift store for $1.50!

We got the little bat/kitty ears for free...so I transformed her into a bat.

I'm pretty sure she was the cutest bat I have ever seen.

On Halloween it was about 65-70 degrees.

There is a road in Boise that I love, old beautiful homes, 

trees lining the streets, and a row of trees down

the middle of the road as well.

It's just breathtaking.

So, I told Matt that is where I wanted to take 

the kids trick-or-treating.

It turns out that is the "famous" street to go 

trick-or-treating on.

Who would have known?

We arrived at about 5:30 and it was already crazy.

Everyone decorated their houses and yards.

Everyone was sitting outside, 

more than half of them were dressed up.

And 1/2 of Boise I swear was there.

I am SO glad we decided to go, 

it was a Halloween we'll never forget.

I wish I had an amazing camera that could capture how neat it was.

I tried.

This home was for sale, so obviously not decked out. 

It reminded me of a German home

So I snapped a picture :)

Loved these 2 ;)

Anyway...I am finally DONE with Halloween!

Fall has been great here, it was 70's all last week

and got down to the 40's this weekend

The leaves are finally falling off the trees, 

but I wished they could stay on all colorful for 

another 5 months!!

This is what the time change has done to Mylee..

turned her into a sleeping maniac, what?!

Doesn't it usually do the opposite?!

I won't complain!!

Colton finally got a much needed hair cut

and YES i paid.

Seriously, cutting his hair, is not fun!

But when the "nice lady" does it, 

he takes it like a champ!

Thanks sports clips :)

We got festive and made some turkeys...Mylee "gobble gobbles" all day now!

I may need this picture in my room.

I love everything about it.

And this little thing is just getting cuter and cuter.

I want her hair!!!

We voted.

It was my first time ever.

I really wanted Romney.

But, life goes on and we are hoping for the best.

I also went and played in a college basketball game

against College of Southern Idaho.

It was a bunch of "has beens"

against a bunch of 18-19 yr. olds who work out for 3 hours a day!

We lost.

I had 17 points and 9 rebounds.

Just sayin'

Too bad my kids were too busy watching the dancers and dancing

then to watch their mama in action.

It was probably my last real debut...

considering every muscle on my body was sore...

Until next year!!!

I'm sad to see Fall go, and hoping Boise gives us a few more weeks of it!!!

Mylee's First Year

I just finished Mylee's scrapbook for her first year, this is my first Digital Scrapbook through Heritage Makers and I love it.  I could have spent 10 more hours on it changing it, but I decided it was good enough!

Mylee's First Year

If anyone wants to know about Heritage Makers, ask me!  It's a great company!

Instagrammed October

The middle of October we headed to Sun Valley for the weekend.

Matt had a conference for his semester in practice and we stayed with our friends

Nate and Ashley at a family members cabin.

I have never been to Sun Valley but it was beautiful.

There was a Minnie Mouse at the cabin

and Mylee got a little obsessed with it.

Love this picture of her and Minnie.

The road the cabin was on.

We actually got to see Matt while we were there :)

A little tour of Sun Valley!

One of the best parts about this month was that I got a family pass to the YMCA.

I got this guy to come with me :)  

We lifted together and played basketball, and then took the kids swimming.

We go every day!

My parents came to visit the next weekend, and we had SO much fun.

We went to Linder Farms and enjoyed the fall festivities!

My kids just love their grandparents.

We were able to go to the Boise Temple Open House.

We were walking out and Colton said, "The temple is Booti-ful"

I couldn't agree more.

Colton had his last soccer game and my parents got to be there.

The farther in the season we went, the less interested he got.

Oh well, he had fun and smiled a lot!

Mylee and her kisses....Yikes!

We also made a Quick trip to Pocatello/Idaho Falls.

I started being a consultant for a company called Heritage Makers.

I am loving their products.

I love to scrapbook, always have, but I can't get all the paper out anymore!!

I have never been into digital, but tried it with Heritage Makers and it's great!

You can make pages that are so similar to real scrapbooking, as well as calendars, christmas cards, etc.

Anyway, I went to Pocatello to have a little workshop for Heritage Makers.

I also got my hair done :)  

I copied my sister in law and tried the "ombre"  hair style,

 so my roots don't look so terrible when they grow out!!!

Our Halloween Festivities started a week before Halloween.

We went to Matt's work for Trick-or-Treating

We had our church Trunk-or-Treating and Halloween Party.

We went to Boo at the Zoo

AND...we had a Halloween Party with friends.

Seriously not my favorite picture of them in their costumes, but since today is the Real Halloween

we will be getting some cute ones!!

Last Saturday I ran in the Boise Color Run with four of my friends, Jackie, Suzie, and Rachelle

We had a blast, but probably most fun watching all the crazy people that were there.

Here we are "colored" at the finish.

OK, honestly, I was going into the race to have fun but when I got near the finish and realized my time was going to be "decent" I didn't care about the color.

I ended up right at 26:00, and that was weaving in and out of the people literally Rolling in the color.  I really want to do another now, but think I will stick to 5k's!

 At the Boo at the Zoo

The weather in Boise has been incredible.  

We were at the park yesterday and a lady was going on and on about Mylee and how cute she is.  

She then said, seriously, she is the Marilyn Monroe of babies!!

I had to laugh.  I think she is pretty dang cute too.

I started coaching this week, a 9th grade girls basketball team.

I was loving it, so excited for it

and then found out that there were not enough teams in the district to play.

I am pretty bummed.

Sometimes it is nice for a mom to have some sort of outlet, 

or something to do that makes you feel worthwhile.

But today I took my kids swimming for a couple of hours

and am happy I get to spend ALL of my time with them!

Happy Halloween!!!
