October Happenings

October has been a great month and I can't believe it's almost over. We are doing great and just loving the cool weather.
This was Mercedes two Sundays ago before church. I don't even know how many pictures of this girl I take per day...
On this night Taylor made a candy run for us.
We thought we would let Mercedes think she was enjoying what we were.
Don't worry, she wasn't really eating it.
...or so we thought! She had sucked and chewed on it enough so that the adhesive between the wrapper unglued and she got her first taste of chocolate, without us even knowing. So much for waiting. Silly mommy and daddy.
Last weekend we took Mercedes to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm! It was a really neat place and much bigger than the one I loved dearly and grew up going to in Utah. We didn't do too much however because Mercedes is so small but we're SUPER excited to bring her back next year when she'll enjoy a hay ride, picking out a pumpkin, etc.

We mainly hung out at the petting zoo. We knew Mercedes would enjoy that.
These two are just precious to me!

Family picture! I still wish we would have asked a random stranger to take a photo for us. Sorry Mercedes.

I had a hard time getting her to put her head through the hole.
We can't get over this adorable little face of hers!
Here is Mercedes playing at Grandma Tammy's and Grandpa Galen's.

See this picture above? Taylor and I die laughing every time we look at it. She doesn't like hats very much.
Sorry this picture is kind of blurry. Girlies posing for the camera! And I got bangs. :)
And last but not least, Mercedes' Halloween costume! She almost totally blended in with the carpet. Cute little monkey. :)
I was planning on making one but finally gave in and bought one last night because I'm feeling pressured with all I have to do before Thursday. Mercedes and I will be flying out to Utah for the weekend to visit friends and family! We'll be staying with Addison and Ana and I am so excited! I'll try to take lots of pictures and then do a post next week. Happy Halloween!

That monkey costume is sooo cute! Maybe Alex will think his favorite monkey doll has come to life. Hope you took it to Utah!
