October Trip to Maryland

I got to take a trip out to Washington, D.C. for a class for work. Which means... I got to spend some time with my brother Jacob, and his wife Camille, and their family. It was fun! I got to be out there for 2 weeks. After being in class all day, I would usually head over to their place for the evening. I got to practice my soccer skills with Jacob, in his team practice. To help prepare them for their semi-final game. (there are several pictures of the game)

I was also able to be around for their Ward's Trunk or Treating activity. It was also a Chilli cook off. Camille made some yummy white chilli. There was this candy guessing game - you know the one where you guess how many are in the jar. Abbi was standing next to me when we walked by the table, and she told me how to spell her name... and I asked how many she thought we in the jar. '3.' she said. Alright - so I added 2 zeros on to that. And she actually almost won. There was like 298 or 299 in the candy jar. Jacob introduced me to the t-shirt and dyed-hair look. He was a pumpkin... with an orange shirt and green hair. And he loaned me a yellow shirt that looked like a firefighter, and I used red gel in my hair...(but I had VERY short hair).

It was fun to see all the costumes though.

The Friday before I left, we went to the Green Meadows Farm (well - Jacob, Camillle, Abbi, and Me). It was a farm with animals and you got a free pumpkin after paying for your ticket... so more like a $12 pumpkin. It was a little windy which made it chilly.

Jacob and Abbi went through the maze. Abbi looked out under the wall to see us on the outside.

This poor guy didn't get alot of attention. No, not Jacob - the pig! :)

Abbi made a great horse!

I LOVE the fall colors.

And then it was time to go home. It was fun - even after spending two days being sick. Didn't win any of the games of Risk. Won plenty of Wii Smash Brothers though.

On the way home, after taking off from Dallas, we flew over Texas Stadium - thats where the Dallas Cowboys play.

And Jacob and Camille, for all the meals, and fun times. I'll see you in November!

October fun!!

So, it was the beginning of October, and General Conference weekend was coming up. I decided that I would make a trip out to Utah over the weekend to visit.

I got to see Becky and Tray and their kids and Mom and Layne. It was fun!

We went out to.......(drum roll)... Golden Corral.

This is me with Emily

Becky and Troy.

Mom and Layne

And my niece Aly.


What? No, I'm not ALWAYS on my phone...

Alright, putthing these pictures one right after another doesn't help my case for not being on the phone all the time. But Aly was laughing really hard when this picture was taken.

We stopped by a water fountain to take some pictures.

Then a quick stop by Grandpa and Grandma Waite's. We even played Gotcha!

And I couldn't leave without seeing Grandma Woodbury.

I even took some time to meet up with a few friends from California. Will and Laura are in Utah going to school. They are silly.

We also went to Toads, and played laser tag, and go karts.

What a fun trip! I'll have to do this again sometime.
