It's been a while since this blog has been updated. Kari has been really busy lately so I thought I would try out this blogging thing and update everyone on what has been happening. Since the last post Jaren completed another Triathlon, we have gone on a trip to San Diego, went to the circus, cornbelly's, had 3 birthdays (Noah - October 11th, Kari - Oct. 16th and Jaren Oct. 25th), had family pictures taken, and finally Halloween.

I am going to post the family pictures first. They are AWESOME. Thank you KK - you are a great photographer.

We have a lot of Birthdays in October in our Family. Here are a few pictures

Noah was really excited to get his first bike.

San Diego Trip - A big thanks to Taylor for coming along with us. He was a huge help with Noah. Kelli and Jared's family was also able to come down to San Diego and hang out with us for a couple of days. It was a lot of fun having them there. I think it was Noah's favorite trip ever, he had his favorite cousin and favorite uncle there, and he saw a lot of animals (Noah loves animals). The only bad part of the trip was when our flight home was cancelled and we had to fly out the next morning. But all in all it was a very fun trip for the whole family.

We Couldn't believe that Noah was holding these Parakeets. I thought for sure he was going to freak out. He even feed them nectar.

Kari's family came to town for Conference and we all decided to take a trip to Cornbelly's. It was a lot of fun. Noah actually really like going through that scary monster thing. He is very brave. (He must take after his dad :-))

Father - Son bonding at Cornbelly's. I think Gary is the tether ball champion

This was Gary's favorite ride at Cornbelly's. It was hard to get him off.

The cutest little girl in the world!!

Twins?!?

Since Noah's birthday is in October and he really like all different kinds of animals we thought that it would be really fun to take him to the circus. Kari and I also really wanted to go, neither of us had been for a really long time. I think Noah really liked it. Although we could have done without the elephants pooping everywhere. I was actually amazad at how fast they were able to clean it up during the show. Don't worry, I don't have any pictures of it.

Jaren competed in the Kokopelli Triathlon with his 2 brother-in-laws, Andrew and Jared.

This is when I finished. Do I look tired?
