October Fun

October was a fun and busy month. Mom turned 40 and that was a big birthday in the Ockey Home. We also took a trip to Vernal for Fall Break and had a Happy Halloween. You can read about all of those adventures on their own posts. This post is for all the small fun activities we had throughout October.

First, October started with a bang at the Pinewood Derby. Dax worked so hard on his car and was so excited to race it. His car didn't take 1st place, but it did well and he was a great sport cheering for his friends. Seth also made a car, and couldn't wait for the end when they let siblings race. It was a fun night!

Dax painted and designed his Pinewood Derby all by himself. 

It was fun to watch the kids be so excited about each race!

Dax's car took first place this race!

Seth loved his car! 

Mom loved watching Seth and Dax as buddies all night long.

There were lots of other fun outings, and we had a good time laughing about taking school pictures and how they put your neck in this weird angle. Mom was cracking up at the boys' impressions of the photographers. We also took family pictures and traveled to Hurricane for a baseball tournament. The boys and Mom went to a new park and checked out the Witches at Gardner Village. We had a wonderful October, and even bought a new car!

Dad and Mom love going to the Hale together.

Baseball tournaments all year long.

We have to do outdoor things even between baseball games!

Mark's team is such a great group of boys.

Grandma and Grandpa did a mystery box with us.

We took the Halloween Cruise on the Provo River.

Seth's impersonation of school pictures. 

Dax had to show his school picture experience, too. 

And Mark was mostly laughing by the time we got to him.

Erin Pritchett, our good friend, took our family pictures.

The baseball witches were our favorite. 

We enjoy the witch scavenger hunt every year.

This picture of Seth cracks me up!

Dax wanted to swing with Mom on the baby and mom swings. Can you see Seth in the back?

Mom and Dad went on a special date with Seth to see Junie B. Jones, the Musical. It was so fun!

Seth took this amazing picture of Grandma!
