October 2018

 Some of our favorite missionaries joined us for a session of General Conference.

John takes on Gabe and Porter in chess games at the same time.

  John took a Friday off work to go on a trip to the Dallas Temple with the Youth from our church.  The kids and I tagged along since he would only be inside for 2 hours and then we thought we'd go have a day of fun with Dad in Dallas.

So we walked around and took some pictures on the temple grounds.

But it started raining, so we got back in the car.

Where we took more pictures, and things got weird when we stuck our gum to the sunroof as a sort of rainy day science experiment, because the 2 hours ended up turning into 4 and holy cow that's a long time to be waiting unexpectedly in the car with 3 kids!

Finally, he was done and we went to eat some amazing tacos at The Velvet Taco!

Then it was off to explore the city of Dallas, in the rain, because that's how we roll and rain's not going to stop us.

Trying to get a picture of the 3 clowns we call our kids is ridiculous.  For every one good photo I get of the boys, there are at least 45,000 bad ones!  Here's the reality of what most of our pictures look like.

After a long, fun filled day, we were all wiped out!

Just a side note, while in Dallas my rubber duck tried to commit suicide by jumping off the rear view mirror and into my breakfast shake.

But don't worry, I saved him and put him back where he belongs.

For Halloween Quentin made a pretty darn cute Draco Malfoy!

Porter was the Knight Ekin.

(Ekin is a fictional character from the book Porter is writing.)

And Gabe, there simply are no words . . .
