what we've been up to

So I haven't posted for a couple weeks and feel like I have some catching up to do. So I thought I'd post a couple pics of what we've been up to in the last month or two.
Since Sara and Della started sharing a room, I really wanted to re-do it so it wasn't just "Sara's room" but more of a "sister's room". How do you think we did?

So- we thought we'd add some color by painting one wall blue, then we moved Sara's name to another wall, added Della's name to another wall and blew up a big picture of each girl. Then we finished it off with some vinyl lettering that reads "Sisters make the best of friends" I was really, really happy with how it turned out!

We also went to see the witches before it got too cold and too crowded. My sister Teneil invited everyone to Gardner Village to eat dinner at Archibald's and go on the Witch Scavenger Hunt. Only Ty and I were able to go with our kids but it still ended up being really fun!Of course Lia wasn't cooperating, so I had to hold her the whole time, so Ty was nice enough to hold Della and Sara held Teneil's hand the whole time. It was so cute how much Della was loving her Uncle Ty and Sar was loving her Aunt Nilly.My good friend Lisa (who lives in Seattle) is in town and we were able to get together for a girls night out at the Gateway! I was a little disappointed at first because she didn't bring her new baby to dinner and I haven't even met him yet! But, we already have a play date planned for next week and I'm sure we'll get together before then so I can see little Jack.Don't mind that it took about 7 attempts to get this picture, done by the timer on some stranger's car.

Oh! And Ryan just ran his 4th marathon last weekend in St. George. No biggie. Are you kidding me? These were his exact words after running his first marathon over a year ago "That was my first and my last marathon, I'm never doing that again" Three marathons later and he's still wanting to do more! He really is amazing. It was a fun weekend in St. George and he did awesome (as usual) but I'll be posting more about that later.

We've also decorated the house for Halloween, as well as made some fun Halloween crafts. Lia had her 4 month well check-up. Ryan's been to some football games including BYU vs. UTAH which was awesome. And have just been enjoying everything else that comes with fall, our favorite season.
