October 2016

October was filled with a lot of football and soccer - just as it should be.

Ryan and I escaped for a weekend to SLC to watch the Huskies beat Utah.  We even got up early to go to ESPN's College Game Day:

It was quite the scene.  This was my favorite sign of the day:

Lee Corso picked the right team to win:

We met up with my Dad and family friends, Rick & Eileen for some pre-game fun:

And I even got Ryan to wear a UW t-shirt for the game:

Halloween was crazy as we were trying to move out of our house for our kitchen remodel.  Thank goodness the kids decided to wear their costumes from last year - a cat and Marshall from Paw Patrol:

I love October in Boise - it's the best.  Drew and I enjoyed hikes by parents house to enjoy the foliage:

Isla turns 8!

I'm not exactly sure how I managed to do this, but I got out of throwing a birthday party for both my kids this year.  They never brought it up and due to our busy schedule neither did Ryan or I.  Score one for the parents.  I'm sure we will have to pay with an epic party next year.

This is the only picture I managed to get of our dear Isla Bean on her 8th birthday:

We had a nice evening at home with cake and presents which was nice after our crazy wedding weekend.  Not sure how I got so lucky to be this kid's Mom, but I'm so thankful that I am.  We love you Isla Bean Skene!
