Yes we are alive! I just lost our camera in a pumpkin patch in Colorado. So, I haven't had any fun new pictures to post. Until I got these pictures from my sister and a new camera. So basically I have a ton of catching up to do for the month of October and all in one post. So here's whats new with us....
Glenwood Springs Colorado
At the beginning of October we got to go and see my sister Sarah, her husband Ben and there three cute kids. We rode bikes all over this cute little historical town. Crunching the beautiful fall leaves under our wheels and feeling the Autumn breeze blow all around us. Was a liberating and nice change from the sizzling heat Dan only got to say for a day then it was back to school. Tagg and I on the other had got to stay and play for an entire week! We went swimming in the largest all mineral water pool I in the world, and boy did it have a different smell. We also played tons of games watched conference and just enjoyed spending time together. One of our favorite outings was going to pick pumpkins from a local pumpkin patch. Tagg had blast climbing all over the pumpkins and eating the dirt. I had fun looking for my lost camera.

Happy Halloween
Austin was the cutest little monkey! When he crawled around in his costume the tail on the back would stay side to side.
Trunk or treat was tons of fun in our new ward. We decorated our car up to look like a dragon and then opened the trunk just enough for them to reach through the teeth to get the candy that was sitting in a bowl in the trunk. We were pretty surprised when some of the kids were to scared to reach their hands in.
I love Halloween! The candies, pumpkin carving, cookie decorating and best of all the dressing up. This year I went as a butterfly, Dan went as a Doctor and Tagg was a monkey.
Our weekend with Chicky Babe
I'm sure your wondering who Chicky Babe is, so here's the story. When my Mom found out she was going to be a grandma she didn't want to be called Grandma Fillerup. She wanted something a bit more fun, and jokingly suggested Chicky Babe. And boy did it stick! Now she is known to all at Chicky Babe and my Dad now is referred to as "Papa Chicky" which I am sure he just loves! Just thought a little background on the name might eliminate confusion.

Tagg found this strip of material on the ground and kept crawling aound sucking on it. When it would fall out he would pick it up and just continue on his way.We sure had fun with Chicky Babe this past weekend. We went out to Red Rock Canyon and had a little picnic and had tons of fun hiking all over the rocks. It was so fun to have here come and play. And boy did we play: from Ethel M's chocolates, shopping, eating at In-N-Out and lots of shopping of course! She even watched Austin so Dan and I could go out on a date. It sure was a fun filled few days.
