Hayley Williams Concert and a Bonus.

Kendall's concert pic of the year was Noah Kahn.  So, it seems fitting that Diego would also have a concert pic.  He chose Hayley Williams.  It is super convenient that his family lives near the bay area, so it is a two for one on these concert trips.

Waiting for the moment.

These two are so cute.  To be young again...

They got to spend some bonus time with Diego's nephew, baby Joaquin.

Halloween

Diego and Kendall were all set to dress up for a Halloween party and both of them ended up working that evening.  That did not stop Diego!

Sidney and her FCA group participated in the Borah trunk or treat.

Peyton and Sidney picked up some pumpkins and invited me to carve with them. 

I just love my metal pumpkin gut scraper.  I am certain that is not the official name for it, but I love it nonetheless!

Peyton intensely carving.

Sidney.

It turns out she was working on this beautiful carving.  The middle of the flower did not survive, but it is great!

Here is mine, minus a few of the details that did not make it.

Peyton had a pretty intricate design that was not going according to plan, so he leaned into the crazy monster theme.

Philly, Miami Beach and Charlotte.

My travel blog continues.  Every time I say or think this I giggle inside.  Really what I am saying is that I travel a lot for work.  Albeit, I do go to some really cool places.  Philly was on the docket recently.  I have never been to Philly and it is quite awesome.  There is so much history, and it is documented throughout the city.  The city was much cleaner than I expected.  That being said, one person had their wallet stolen and another person had their camera stolen.  Shoot!

This building had lights focused on it that would invert the colors at night.

I had a trip to Miami Beach.  We were staying right on the boardwalk, but the weather did not cooperate.  It rained intensely.  My co-worker and I took a brave trip to the beach, where we were dumped on.  It was a 'warm' rain though.

We did hide behind a beach shelter and wait is our for a picture of the blue sky.

We were there for a big conference, but my co-workers and I escaped for a quiet dinner the last evening.

Real sugar cane in the drink.  Fun!

I also had a trip to Charlotte and failed to take a picture for my travel blog.  I cannot believe that Mary did not remind me?!?!

Making the Best Out of a Mishap (Dutch Style).

For a fun night out, Kendall and the Dutch crew went to the Haunted World.

Now for the mishap.  I am not entirely sure how this happened, but all of the syrups fell off the shelves and mad a mess everywhere!

Yes, this was awful and was going to be quite a task to clean up.  Before doing so, they decided to have fun with the big mess and made a Halloween ghost out of the situation.  Then it was back to work and deep cleaning, of course.

Farmstead, Fall and Friends.

Kendall and her friends spent an evening at Farmstead.  They enjoyed a hay ride and also did the corn maze.  I hate those things, for the record!

There were some amazing backdrops for sunset photos.

Kendall did some fun fall nail art.  She really nailed the apple!

As part of COBE, she got to do a headshot on the blue.  

They turned out amazing.    

She also got a headshot through one of the COBE career fairs, which is also stunning.  It will be hard to choose!

The trees on campus are turning a beautiful, glorious red!

Kendall and her friend got all dressed up for a night on the town.  This is her friend Emma.  Turns out Emma's dad and I know each other.  He lives on Indian Lakes Golf Course and we have golfed a few rounds together.  Super nice family!

A Few of My Favorite Things.

 Sidney sent me this cute picture of Willow while I was on a work trip.  Again, why do we buy cat toys?

My beautiful sister and her beautiful grandbaby.  Sweet Harper!

Bella, what do I say?  This dog is the smartest, most annoying, dog I have ever had.  She even likes her pillow a certain way.

My mom had all of us over for tacos, and they came back to my house afterward to play Nintendo.  These guys have my whole heart!

Even the dogs were in Nintendo bliss having their favorite people at the house.  They, of course, had to wrestle in the middle of the living room for attention.  Then they proceeded to crash out.

I have been wanting to try out this par 3 course near my house.  I have never played a par 3 before.  My dad agreed to walk it with me.  It was such a beautiful day and such a FUN course.  There were hills, water holes, sand traps and more!  It was a blast.  I will be doing that again.
