Both my dad and my little brother have birthdays at the beginning of October. We always get together as a family to celebrate birthdays and this time we went to Tepenyaki (one of our favorite places to eat!) Mya loves that they cook with fire right in front of us, she's mesmerized the whole time! Our favorite part is when we all get to try and catch a shrimp in our mouths!
Nick's sister Brooke also has a birthday in the beginning of October. Mya picked out a little scarecrow doll that we took to her grave. We miss this girl so much!! She was great with kids and we know she would have loved little Mya so much!!
Park City.....
My parents stayed in Park City for a couple nights. We took Mya and my sister took her two little kids and we played with grandma and grandpa! We went swimming, shopped and had a blast looking at the beautiful scenery. The leaves were amazing! Utah is a gorgeous place to live we really like it here.
Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point....
It was freeeeezing the night we went but we had so much fun, I think Mya would have stayed all night. My sister came with her kids and hubby too. Plus my dad and brother were working there doing security so it was a big family party!

Painting pumpkins....
We did this at Nick's parents house with family and friends! We had homemade rootbeer and watched Halloween cartoons it was an eventful night!
Witchfest with the girls....
Every year all the girls and kids go to the witchfest at Gardner Village in Salt Lake! We have so much fun! We love eating their fried green tomatoes, shopping and checking out all the witches! Mya loves any time that she gets to spend with our families.
Feeding the ducks....
We took advantage of the awesome weather we've had as much as possible this month with walks and visits to the park. One of those nice days we fed the ducks with Mya's friend Kendall. One of my best friends growing up has adopted two little girls and Kendall happens to be only a few months younger than Mya. They are the best of friends, it's so cute! We love playing with them any chance we get.
United for Adoption 5k....
We participated in an adoption 5k in Salt Lake too! It was a lot of fun! Being involved with the adoption community is something we really enjoy and hope to continue forever.
Happy Halloween....
This year for Halloween Mya picked all of our costumes clear down to our dog! She was so much fun, she loved all of our costumes and wanted to wear hers every single day. At one of the parties we won 2nd place for our costumes! Oh yeah!!!! We had a great time this year and of course ate WAY too much candy! I also just have to give major props to Nick, he will do anything for us including wearing womens running shorts to complete his Mickey Mouse costume! He is one amazing dad and husband. Mya was so excited about all of our costumes!

| Louie our dog was Big Bird....not sure why he didn't get a Disney themed costume like the rest of us. :) |
 |
| For Nick's work they have a huge Halloween party and Nick's team decorated their area as Mario world! Nick was a koopa troopa turtle (sweet homemade costume right!) They won 3rd place and all got an extra paid day off! Nick and I both love Nintendo so this was awesome! It took me right back to my childhood! |
| Our little nephew Kyson was the old man from UP and his mom was the boy scout! She won 1st place at her work competition and let me tell you it was deserved they looked adorable! We have the best families! |
The best thing that happened this month was that we are
finally approved and officially back on the adoption waiting list! We
are so excited for Mya to have a sibling and we can't wait to welcome
another precious child into our home! Being parents in the absolute joy
of our lives. We are ready to do this all over again!!!!! I had to add
this funny picture, I love how I'm just standing there with a smile,
Nick is closing his eyes and Mya has her hand over her eyes! It makes me laugh every time I look at it! :)
