Wow! It has been such a long time since
I have posted anything here. I am so far behind... We have
been doing some wonderful fun things
the past couple of months. I will start off with Halloween. We went to
a pumpkin patch and we all went through
a corn maze and then the kids picked out
some pumpkins. They had such a blast picking out
there very own pumpkins!

Kayden in the corn maze!
Keirsten in the corn maze
Since Keirsten is to little to carve her pumpkin we
decided to let her paint it instead! So much fun but what
a mess she made!! It was worth it though :0)

This was Kayden's first year carving his pumpkin on
his own, and I must say for a rookie
he did a very good job!

Working hard!
The end result!
Both so proud of their masterpieces!!
Then came the big day! Keirsten was Cinderella and Kayden was Scooby-Doo.
They had so much fun, and I think we
finally were able to get Keirsten to say "Trick-or-Treat"
by the end of the night. They ended up with so
much candy!

Kayden played Jr. Jazz basketball and at the end of
the season they had Utah Jazz tickets you
could purchase. Of course they were in
the nose-bleed seats but Kayden was still ecstatic to get to go!
We showed up at the Energy Solutions Arena and of
course had to get some souvenirs and food.
On our way up to our seats a nice man
who worked for the team approached us and offered us
better seats...27 rows from the floor (which was
A LOT better then where we were headed)!!
It was so much fun getting to spend some one on one
time with just Kayden. He is such an amazing
little boy and we are so proud of him!
Oh, and yes he had a blast at the game!!

Our last adventure (for this post anyway) was traveling down to Utah to spend
Thanksgiving with my Mom. We had a wonderful
time and ate some yummy food! Ryan and I braved the
Black Friday shopping and although we didn't get the
deals we wanted we did have a lot of fun. Huge THANKS
to my mom for watching our munchkins so early in
the morning!!
After a wonderful couple of days with my Mom we headed
over to my Dad's for a night. We ended riding the train
into Salt Lake and walked around the Temple
to look at the lights. The kids had some
much fun riding the train! It was so cold by the time
we got to the Temple we decided to stop and warm up
with some hot chocolate. My weird son informed us
that he didn't like hot chocolate so we got him some apple cider
instead and now he is in love. Has a mug of warm apple cider almost every
night!

Keirsten all bundled up!!
The lights at the Temple were amazing!! It is some much
fun to walk around and look at them. I cannot imagine the time
and patience it takes to put up some many lights! It was
beautiful and was the perfect way to get
everyone in the Christmas spirit.
We hope that everyone else was able to have a great
Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with family and friends.
We are so thankful for all the wonderful people we have in our lives. Thank you
all so much for all your love and support!!
Love, The Downs Family
