HAPPY HALLOWEEN!




Gracie is a witch for Halloween! She says, "I'll get you my pretty!" But she used to say, "I'm pretty my pretty!"
She had fun this week because she got to wear her costume to both of her dance classes this week. Her teacher, Ms. Whitney, is so cute. She brought candy for all of them and even dressed up herself.

We also went to the Kempton's Halloween Party! The highlight was watching Cash struggle to fight off his mom and grandma while they tried to make him the cutest little disco guy ever!



Reese just sat there smiling like a princess the entire time, waiting for a good picture to be taken...so funny!

Jackson & Amanda

Amberly
RROOAAARRRR!

You can't see it, but Ethan is in LOVE with his Jedi braid in back!

NOAH is a "Smarty Pants"!

RYAL is Captain America!


Love these kiddos!

Then our 3 Ward Halloween Carnival was Wednesday night! This was my 3rd year overseeing this activity, and with the help of so many others, this was by far the best year we've had! We think we had over 1500 people there!

It was fun because my mom's ward was one of the three!

Kaylee is a YW now, she she worked a booth for an hour. (she went as an Olympic Medalist) Not sure what happened to the medals she was wearing???



LIZ
Lyn Rae Primary were the 6 "B's"

Carolyn

The missionaries had their own little booth!

Teej & Tre came!

We had over 30 booths, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn, dunk tank, Haunted House, Train Ride, Bounce House, Movie screen, Face Painting, balloons, dinner, candy, prizes...and the best DJ ever-Shawn Murphy! It really was so fun!

Twinners!
Twinners again!

And we also had some awesome entertainment!

Bro. Cox & Bishop Thacker

Skyler's band played...for the first time ever!
Check out Sky's pants!

I have to say, when it was all over, it was pretty overwhelming when I thought of all the people who came together to help for this awesome community event! I am so thankful to everyone who did so much to make this carnival such a success!

Now time to relax and enjoy Halloween!

Today I went to Ethan's classroom and helped with his little Halloween Party. This is him with one of his 3 girlfriends, Elise Campbell...yep, Chase's little sister! They sit right by eachother, so cute!
Happy Trick-or-Treating!!!

For Tricia...our Scottsdale Spectacular Day of Fun!!!

So, sometimes Gracie looked like this...
But most of the time she looked more like this...

I was on stage as the emcee the entire pageant so I didn't get any pictures of her or Kaylee in their cute clothes, but they both made me so proud!!!

Gracie walked forward to receive a crown and trophy everytime I called someone's name. She was so happy, until she realized that she didn't get any flowers!

Our contestants...everyone was so good!

Our little Sophia won the Mini Miss division! It was good to see the royalty girls too!

Kaylee's dress

Jackie & Jeannie-Dynamic Duo!

These two had a blast!!!

Longest day ever!!!
This is us 8 hours later, I couldn't wear my shoes any longer!

Gracie calls her trohpy her "Champion"! She's pretty funny! She definately stole the show last night. Turning the wrong way on collectives, grabbing the microphone and saying, whatever! Her "Mesa, AAAARRRIZONA!" I got a kick out of it! Wish you could've been there!

Say HELLO to my little friend!

Scott borrowed this thing from work so that we could freak Kaylee out...
he set it right outside the bathroom door in the dark, then asked Kaylee to go outside and get something for him...genius!
It FREAKED her out!

Ethan ran all the way upstairs...

Our lives have been busy, but we've still enjoyed a lot of fun together...



Noah finally took his first steps...

He's pretty proud of himself too...



No more pictures please!


The boys are still LOVING soccer! Ethan is so competitive. It's all about how many goals he can get. Now, if he doesn't score one in the first minute or so, he gets mad!

Ryal doesn't care as much. If he gets a kick in, he counts it as a goal!

He can be found down here a lot!!!

I love the holidays because my kids get so into it. Everything festive gets them excited! We've been making treats everyday. Don't these just look delicious??? (uh-no)


I couldn't get these next two to upload right...not sure why?



Kaylee & Caroline decided to make theirs from scratch...MMMMmmmmm!!!



OCTOBER BREAK ROCKS!
