I've got some blogging to do.....

So pretty much the whole month of October needs to be blogged about. Here we go.
The very beginning of the month we invited Jacob and Elaina over to try our chicken salad in a pita and they brought corn on the cob.
The corn on the cob was a tradition from Elaina's family. Grilled and then with the right seasonings.... DELISH
We'd braved the "dangers" of a pressure cooker and it was well worth it
I have never had such tender shredded chicken from frozen to cooked in 20 min. I LOVE the pressure cooker! Thanks Rachel
LAKE POWELL
The next day we took a trip to Lake Powell with the Martins and Thorums.
We stayed in a trailer, which I've never done before. We loved being in Lake Powell with everyone. Playing games and taking trips on the lake were all in a good days' play!
We all learned to wake surf and although it looks easy, Carter and I will tell you it's work to learn how to get up.
Hang Loose
Surfin' USA - I left out the pic. of Ryan with the rope in his outh on purpose ;)
Dur, Liv and Carter made the most divine chocolate brownies
Everybody worked hard, but these girls are tuff!
The last day there was pretty crazy wind and we got a little wet....
WITCHES
October means withces!!!! and Gardner Village.
This witch and mom think alike... ;)
Watch out PorSha!!
We had such a fun day. Jus the girls
Saturday Night Live.... at the batting cages
Nice helmet
And then we took our turn at the driving range. It was a first for Elaina and I, and kind of Carter. I think we all did pretty well. It's a lot harder than they make it look on tv. I give them props.
Good Job Al!
He was a great teacher

Everyone could use a little help....
One, two, three, fore.........
Carter probably improved the best. It was a lot of fun!
We were wtching out for stray balls
This is where Happy Gilmore got his move

All in all it's been a very successful October so far and it's not even Halloween yet!!
I LOVE OCTOBER!
