I hadn't been home in forever and was really needing a break. So we packed us up and headed to the burg. Since Andrew was a little boy, he has been helping Grandpa rake up his leaves in his yard. Now if any of you know my parents house, they have huge trees. The leaves are outrageous that fall. Andrew is old enough to drive the lawn mower himself and he loved it. I think Andrew and my Dad were out there all day. They even let the little girls help.
Saturday we decided to go to Bear world. The weather was beautiful and it was the last weekend it was open, so we got a good deal. The bear cubs were so active and cute. We saw a huge Moose and fed some little goats. They then had a little amusement park that we rode all the rides. Even Luke rode the train. That night we had the greatest Halloween party/birthday party. My parents are so amazing. They always have the funnest things for the kids to do. Grandpa had them bobbing for apples, pushing pumpkins with their noses, and eating cookies hung from the ceiling with not hands. Of course there was a prize after every activity. They came out with a ton of stuff. I love my parents and the things they do for my kids.
Sunday we took it easy and enjoyed. I decided to go listen to my Dad with my mom. He is the Steak President on campus and had to speak at a ward conference. I forget how amazing him and my mom are. They have a way of touching so many lifes. It was a great weekend. I love being home.

Morgan's ear piercing!

She was so excited that night!
The final product.
One, two three. Thankfully they did it at the same time.
Morgan's birthday is next Monday and she wanted her ears pierced. I couldn't believe it when her dad actually caved. Poor Lauren had to wait until she was 5. We took her to the mall and let her pick out the earrings she wanted and she was so brave. She only had a look of ouch for a split second. She was so proud and so out of control the rest of the night. I can't believe she is going to be 4.
