Chloe's 1st Birthday!

Chloe was born on Halloween so of course she had to have a costume party. She was the cutest little monster I've ever seen! She loved everything about her party and we all had a blast with yummy treats, presents and lots of fun! Happy 1st birthday sweet Chloe!!!

Oceanside in October

Before Covid hit, Hillary was registered for the Oceanside 70.3 half ironman again. Covid hit. Race postponed to October. We rescheduled our condo. Race postponed again to following year. Can't reschedule condo so we still enjoy the trip. Hillary was six months pregnant so wouldn't have done the October race anyway. We had four fun-filled days in So. Cal, one of my favorite places to be.

We went to Sea World and all the rides were closed but the animals and shows were up and running which Taeya absolutely loved...

We went shopping at the outlets in San Clemente...

Lots of fun beach time...

Lots of yummy food... We walked to Ruby's on the pier for dinner. Even though it was chilly the whole time, the beach is still my favorite place to be.

 

Last Granddaughter Zoo Visit

 We took Chloe to the zoo so she could feed the giraffe, ride the train and carousel and see all the animals. She wasn't afraid of any of them and it was the most perfect day weather-wise as well.

Oct. General Conference Weekend in St. George

We had all day Friday of Conference Weekend to enjoy the outdoors, go to the Ivins Reservoir for the first time, Tonaquint Park and in between Saturday sessions we played pickleball and went swimming. It was a beautiful sunny weekend in Southern Utah listening to wonderful messages from our church leaders.
