Fall Family Pictures 2012

I wasn't really motivated to get family pictures done at 7 months pregnant; it was actually Matt's idea, but I'm really glad we did it.  We went up to Bridal Veil Falls and I think they turned out pretty cute.  I noticed after we got home and were looking through the pictures that we got a lot of good ones of the family, and of Mikelle and Jonah, but hardly any individual ones of Tyrel...it's just the age I guess.

The Family Pics

This was my favorite family picture.

I liked this one even though the sun was really bright

I liked this one too even though there were weird shadows and branches in Mikelle's face.

Tyrel

Tyrel, Jonah, and Mikelle climbing up the falls with Dad.  The water was absolutely freezing!

 In between taking pictures, the kids liked climbing the trees and playing in the dirt.

 Aaron and Kayla's family picture

This is me trying to convince Tyrel to take one more family picture and him telling me after he has "one more candy."

The Girls (minus Rachel because she had to work).

Our Ward Harvest Festival

Last night was our ward harvest festival.  They had a fishing booth, pickle tossing, hot dog and marshmallow roasting, homemade doughnuts, hot chocolate, kids games and races.  Even though it was a pretty chilly night, we still had fun.

The kids dressed up as Diego, Jake (from the Neverland Pirates), and Merida from Brave.

 Diego can't be without baby jaguar...

 ...or his rescue pack.

I had to take a picture of how many stuffed animals Tyrel has to keep on his bed.

Pretending they are ducks in a duck pond.

On the ferris wheel at Scheels, the kids loved it and Matt and I both hated it.
