The last of California

As I have mentioned before, I am super behind on my blogging. Here are a few pictures from our last little week or so in California and most of them are of my cute little Henry :)

Henry is always chewing on his fingers like this and I love it!

I love that he fell asleep like this

This is my precious little niece, Lilian.

Halloween

Kenzie, Henry and I were actually in Rexburg with my sister, Katie, for Halloween but I haven't figured out how to get those pictures out of RAW format yet, so I will just post what I have right now since I have already procrastinated this long.

We live really close to Hogle Zoo (seriously like one minute away) and we love to go any time we possibly can. They have a special trick-or-treat event every year before Halloween so we took our children to it. We were advised to go first thing in the morning, before the zoo became overly packed with candy-crazed children and it was COLD! Apparently I am not yet re-accustomed to "cold" weather because, according to true Utahn's, "it was actually a pretty nice morning and was NOTHING compared to last year as far as the cold goes." I have a bit of adjusting to do still. Anyways, here are some pictures of MY adorable little animals.

I loved this family's costume theme so much I just HAD to ask to take a picture of them. I especially admire that big gruffy husband for dressing up as a care bear for his wife. What a great guy!

Isn't he just the cutest cow you've ever seen?!

Utah

My brother, Zachary, got married to a wonderful girl named Rachel the day after we moved to Utah. Luckily, the Salt Lake Temple (where they were married) is only about a fifteen minute drive from our new home. Here are some links to my sister Katie's blog where she has posted pictures of the actual wedding:

The pictures here are just some that were taken with the family afterwards.

My family stayed at the Mariott Hotel while they were here so we took advantage of the Hotel's great pool.

A bunch of the Howe family got together at our cousin's, Geoffrey and Joni's, house to eat yummy food and ice cream.

And on Sunday, we went to Music and the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing. It was a beautiful program! This fountain is right outside the tabernacle at Temple Square.
