Halloween

Little Miss Spider and the Fire Breathing Bat (that was all Jack's idea...perhaps I need to explain to him that dragons breath fire, not bats. Oh well, I didn't want to crush his idea). The kids had several occasions to wear their outfits: our ward trunk-or-treat, the joy school Halloween party and on Halloween night.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

Another Family Adventure! We took the kids to the Monterey Bay Aquarium back in September. The kids were fascinated by it all. Our favorite things: the jellyfish, the sleeping otters, and the kids zone. The giant tuna were pretty awesome too.

We made a whole day of it and stopped at the outlets in Gilroy on our way home and ate at In in Out. We have so much fun together :)

Moonlight Run

September 12th

Jennilyn (my good, good friend and running partner, who was pregnant when she ran this!) ran a 10K in Palo Alto's annual moonlight run around the baylands. The race started around 8:00pm so it was really dark when we started running and it was a full moon. It was so fun. There was a big group of girls from our ward and a few from other wards we knew who ran it or the 5K too. We definitely want to make it a September tradition.

Joy School

Jack's Joy School Group

Jack is surrounded by girls! He is the only boy in our joy school group and in his primary class. He is getting lots of dress-up and make-believe play in. Kent and I try to keep him "all boy" by playing tackle football at home and setting up play dates with Nate and Ben.

Joy School is going great. Jack loves it and is really taking some strides with letters and numbers. He loves to do "homework" while Jordan naps.
