I also bought a lot of books with my birthday gift cards to Barnes and Noble so I've been making my way through those. I read Edenbrooke twice. I finished it and started over again immediately. Yeah, it was THAT good. (Thanks to Kim for that one!)
This weekend Brit, Mandy (Brit's cousin) and I went to Cornbelly's with our kids. It was pretty awesome! It has changed a lot since I last went 6 years ago! We jumped on the giant pillow, climbed in the wooden ships, trucks and the hay pyramid. Went in bounce houses, obsticle courses and the giant slide. They pretty much wore us out! I still want to go back and go through the corn maze with Eric. Maybe it will still be open in November after his busy season.
I also went to Shannon's bridal shower her soon to be in-laws threw for her in Layton. It was fun to meet Matt's family and they are really great!
Yesterday my entire family (except Eric because he had to work :( ) went up Millcreek Canyon to shake quakies. Most the the aspen trees had already lost their leaves because of the drought this year but we still had fun. This is a tradition we do every year on Conference Sunday that started with my grandma when my mom was little. We walk around and eat dounts and cookies and have cider and hot cocoa. This year was especially cold! You will see a picture of Mabel hudled with cousin Hailey trying to keep warm. The poor thing was shivering and she had 3 layers on with a down coat!
Way back in August, we went to San Francisco with Eric's sister Jenn and her huband Lance and their little 6 month old, Lily. That was sure an adventure! It really is an amazing city! We went to Giants baseball game, Alcatraz, Ghirdelli Square and a French resturant for a fancy dinner. I'm pretty sure that resturant was the highlight of the trip for me but I loved everything. We got pretty good at public transportation. Vacations with children are just not the same as before but I think Mabel had fun doing something else. Someday when I'm rich (HA) I want to go back with just Eric and stay down town. I have pictures of the trip in Instagram but I can't figure it out on here so add me on Instagram. I'm mabelsmom2010.
This weekend, Kim and I are throwing a bridal shower and it's her son Logan's baptism that same day. I'm also going to meet my friend Kalli at Gardner Villiage on Wednesday. I'm so excited to see her baby Blake! It should be a good week but I do need to fold some laundry.
Happy Autunm everyone!
