Tulum ruins, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Mayan Riviera Part 1

Our wonderful Mom Jeppson came to stay with the boys so we could take a fun 10 day trip down to Mexico. It was a great break to get away as a couple. We are still sorting through pictures but here are a few to begin.

Black Iguana

Morelet's Crocodile

Vengence is Matt's! 4 years ago one of these almost took off one of his fingers. We had to run to the store to buy bandages & iodine. He then wrapped it in duct tape so he could continue snorkeling!

Bonefish

Riding bicycles at Coba Ruins

As posed as this looks, Mark really didn't know Matt & Jason were behind him.

Fighting!

Soccer & Halloween

October sped by! After my 1/2 marathon, we had Jay's soccer tournament. His team "The Rockets" ended up taking 2nd place! It was really fun to watch all the boys progress throughout the season.

We had a lot of sickness at our house this month. The boys all took turns having "Hand, foot, mouth disease." No fun. No sleeping, little eating and lots of crying, over a 10 day period. Thankfully, Matt distracted the boys with some pumpkin carving.

Ward Trunk-or-Treat

Grandma Wendy got these for us when she was visiting Stef & Rob in China last year.

Halloween Night Ninjas!

Trick-or-Treat! All the boys really got into it, even though Asher wasn't feeling very well. Ridge was especially fun to watch, and kept up with the big boys just fine.

Halloween is also Matt's birthday. Happy 34th Matteo!
