October

Isn't it crazy that October is over already?!  We had a fun October though.  We did many Halloween festivities.  There was our ward Halloween party, a party at Tumbling Tykes, a festival in Saratoga Springs, and of course trick or treating.  A lot of the towns around here have festivals, we could have gone to one almost every Saturday in October.  We did finally make it to one and it was awesome!  They had horse rides, a little petting zoo, pumpkin rolling, and more.  It was in downtown Saratoga and all the shops had little activities and/or trick or treating.  So fun!  The pumpkin rolling was hilarious.  I was cracking up watching all the kids (mostly Sam) chase their pumpkins down the hill! 

We are still really liking it here in New York.  We actually feel like this is the first time we've ever been in a truly friendly ward, lol.  People are really nice here.  The only thing that would make us consider moving somewhere else a few years down the road are the taxes, they are CRAZY!!!!! 

Noah understands pretty much everything now, but he isn't in any hurry to start talking.  They seem to play together a little more every day, it's great.  We haven't lost as much weight lately, I think I've lost five pounds since we moved into the house which was a couple months ago, so pretty slow.  We're still working on it though. 

I took some pictures of both boys in their costumes and some of them playing in the leaves in the back yard, but I haven't even uploaded those yet, so they will have to be saved for the next post. 

We put up the boys' tent for conference.  It kept them entertained for at least a half hour or so :)

I put out some cooking stuff for Noah to play with one day, he had a blast!  Sam was out at the store with Jason.  When he got home, they had fun making a really big mess together with it :)

Sam playing with his toys in the coffee table, silly boy :)

Sam made a heart out of his playdough

Sam's favorite shows to watch are super hero shows and his favorite game is to be super heroes.  Here he is being Captain America with a pot lid as his shield and Noah being Thor with his hammer.

Pumpkin rolling

This was the ward Halloween party, our first Halloween festivity.  Noah was sleeping when we took this picture.  I got some more photos of the two boys another day, but those will have to wait for the next post because I haven't even uploaded them to the computer yet.
