4th week of October

Here are some highlights from the 4th week of October.

Monday, October 23rd, the boys had the day off for a teacher day.  Zac had the day off work as well (he's as fireman), so they went out duck hunting at Utah Lake.

They had a good time, though didn't get any ducks.

Tuesday night, we went back to LuDean/Diane's place to celebrate Dave's birthday coming up on the 28th.  They were going to be gone for his birthday, down to Mesa, AZ to visit Joann's dad Carl, so we wanted to celebrate early.  Steve smoked more ribs for dinner.  Joann wasn't feeling well so she wasn't able to come unfortunately.  Hudson was a big helper blowing out Dave's candles.  Hudson also played catch w/ Grandma LuDean w/ a balloon :)

We are less than a month until we go on our big family cruise.  All of Steve's family is going this time! Steve also winterized our camper and parked it at Dave/Joann's place for the winter.

Steve is making great progress on his weight loss.

He's now down 116lbs!  Good work Steve!

Friday night, Nyles went to a Halloween Party w/ his school classmates.  He had a great time.  The rest of us, watched the Boo Fest w/ Curious George while he was gone.  

Cute Carter snuggling w/ Piper.  Saturday morning we stopped by Lowe's for some Trick or Treating.  They had Christmas Decorations up as well, haha :)

Saturday afternoon, Steve, Nyles and Rob went out duck hunting.

Cute Nyles.  Steve helping Nyles see where the duck is hiding.

Nyles, with Steve's help, got a Green Wing Teal Duck.  

It was REALLY cold, so they packed up a little early and came home.

Steve even got cold.  With all the weight Steve has lost, he now understands what it feels like to be cold, haha.  He now wears slippers to keep his feet warm and more blankets. :)

Great quotes.
