Busy October...

We started off the month with belt promotion testing at Taekwondo...Kai's first official testing!!! It was so cute to watch him test - and he did GREAT!! Every score he got was above an 8 (out of ten).

Proud Daddy!!
I was also super proud of Kai - its so fun that he is starting to do activities like this. Definitely growing out of being "my baby".

All three head instructors had their sons testing...pretty cute!

I also tested - just no pictures to prove it. You might notice the bright pink on my hand - its the new accessory for fall...I broke my hand doing my board break for my test (three nights before). Its my first ever broken bone - and will be my last!!! Not the funnest experience. Good news, I did break my board and no one knew I was even hurt until after my test was over - I waited to cry.

The kids, my mom, Tyler, Aubrey, Duncan and I went to Moab to support Wyatt's BIG race...24 hours of Moab. Wyatt's team KILLED their divison by a lap and 49 minutes - EXPERTS next year!!

My mom and Kai in his pajama pants - refused to get dressed, but I obviously didn't care that much.

Kai and me waiting for the race to start.

I was doing the dishes when I heard a loud crash - I followed the noise to the bathroom. Reese discovered that the bathtub is fun without water also! She is always trying to climb into the tub - we keep the doors shut now.

I "hired" Wyatt to remodel our bathroom. He has done an AMAZING job and I am so thankful to have him as my brother. Wyatt - YOU ROCK! If you want to hire him, let me know. ;)

Before - ugly, ugly, ugly (Wyatt had already ripped up the floor)

After - with beautiful tile.

Kai discovered how to save on water...pee off the back deck - no flushing! The toilet was not installed...however, Kai has tried this since then.

Reese is CLIMBING - AHHHHH!!!!

I love her face in this - Oh no...I got caught!

The computer table is a favorite to climb on.

Trying to climb through. I love her chubby legs!!

Climbing on top of stools - smart girl, getting closer to the fish (she loves to watch them).

Climbing in cupboards!

Reese is also walking!!! This is to show that she took 7 steps in a row - she is now walking a lot more than she is crawling.

Before Halloween I pulled out the big bucket of costumes for us to go through. Kai found my super woman costume from last year, when I was big pregnant. He wanted to be super-Kai for Halloween...

But he ended up being Spider-Kai (any surprise there?).

Kai has also started chores - don't know if its "too early". But he wanted to help out and so I jumped all over that!

We had quite a busy month - I also went up to Idaho to be with my mom for a couple of weeks. I had a great time up there with my family. I can hardly believe that its almost the middle of November...time starts flying at the end of the year!
