Outrageous October




I love how Jayda is crossing her legs


Kiddo toes







Jayda's pose...



































Lipstick dressups



Toy room shot by Jayda
I'm actually impressed with this one.



Zayden and Jayda decided to dance to Beauty & the Beast music



Putting on Mommy's makeup with friend Annie. They all have lovely eyebrows.



Brad and I went to see the When Life Gets Hard conference with John Bytheway, Meg Johnson and Hank Smith. So great!







aaand while we were there, Brad's brother sent this picture: 
"She's been staring at us like this for 20 minutes."










If you look close enough...she is guilty of something horrendous.




Star Valley, Wyoming LDS temple open house









We caravanned with the Maughans. 

The drive to Star Valley is GORGEOUS in the fall.  It's full of mountains, beautiful colors and winding roads. In Rexburg we weren't even wearing coats yet so we did not expect there to be SNOW at our destination. We were not prepared! 

The kids wore flip flops. We changed into our church clothes at the chapel and carried the extra stuff with us. Taylor lost a shoe so she toured the temple wearing the white booties over her bare feet.

By some random divine miracle we had two coats for each of our kids in the back of our van so even though the Maughans forgot coats there were enough for every little kiddo.



























Every once in awhile I wonder if Jayda is ready to stop napping so this day I let her and Kallie go  to a friend's house while Taylor napped. As soon as they got home I found Jayda like this on the couch. 

Nope, not ready.



It'll definitely be a while for this one.



Flying by myself to Vegas!
Brad & Trevor drove, Emily took a separate flight out of SLC.



Our booth at the ABC Kids Expo



Our product, the Buckle Away
The side clips allow the straps to automatically retract like adult seat belts.
The fuzzy animal hugs the middle buckle and locks it forward. 
Thus keeping all the buckles out of the way so there's no digging under butts, hot metal, twisting straps or pinching legs.





Just a couple of the awesome big-time booths at the expo
























We thought our booth was pretty decent before we left for Vegas.  That changed the second we walked into the expo. We have a lot of design work ahead of us!






The expo threw a fancy party for the exhibitors with waiters that carried around appetizers and a buffet with REALLY good meat. However, since it was free the line was so long and we were too hungry to wait so we went somewhere else. We realized everyone else didn't mind waiting in line because they were drinking from the open bar to pass the time.

Behind Brad is the meat cooking in open flames. Smelled so good!








Bellagio water show





Can't help but think of Ocean's 11 






Bellagio lobby
Didn't have time to change out of our expo shirts for our night on the town.







Brad being weird.
























Clayton and Taylor ready for our walk

Also taken by Jayda



She has pretty good pencil-holding technique for being one year old.





The Taylor belly
She's been wearing size 3T since she was 18 months old.
























Grandpa took the girls up to the garden to pick out a pumpkin






Playing on the new carpet for our booth at the expo



Clayton's a pretty cute photobomb







Creepy photobomb. Perfect for Halloween.




Hocus Pocus Halloween Party







I love Kallie's face here



Baymax was there!











Probably should have cleaned her face before the lipstick makeover...








Jayda's preschool costume show



Made a bonfire in the driveway for the the trick-or-treaters
Our friend Justin decided one day to make a fire pit so he busted out his welding skills and whipped this up during some down time at work.


Happy Halloween!
