Happy Halloween!

The cousin are here!! 

We were all excited to celebrate this holiday with family.  Matt's twin brother and his family came to visit us.  We always have a great time and are sad when we have to part ways.  While Laura and Caleigh were at Time out for Girls and the boys headed to a football game,  I took the rest of the girls to "Wood Connections" to pick out a wood project to paint and create on their own. We had a great time making our projects.  They turned out so cute!! We can't wait to make more.  We had a fun and eventful Halloween weekend! 

This was another one of my wood projects...Pilgrims. They are so fun and look great on the table.

Now on to enjoying the thanksgiving holiday season.

Frightmares 2014

I love to hang out at Frightmares! Carter was determined to go through every haunted house and I wasn't so sure. I was pressured into it and had a great time screaming every second some one jumped out at me. HaHa!  It helps to go with a big group and hang in the middle of the pack to protect you on both ends.  Carter was pretty proud of himself to get through all of them.  Ashlynn was with us during the day but then went home with Matt when it got dark because she doesn't like to be around people with masks on.  So, she and Matt had daddy and daughter time while all of us stayed behind to enjoy the scary fun.      

October Activities

This month was a fun a busy one..we love to celebrate Halloween and all its fun festivities.

We had a our annual kids Halloween party.  I added a neighborhood scavenger hunt where each group had to collect or take pictures of things within the neighborhood.  One of the favorites was to find the most decorated Halloween house and wrap someone in toilet paper and take a picture by a fire hydrant.  We also had fun food and laughs. 

The kids school had their annual carnival and Ashlynn and I attended a ward mother and daughter activity at Scary Hill.  We went on a hay ride through the park where skeletons where having fun, went through the maze and had treats.  So Fun!

We did something new this year..we where told to check out this pumpkin walk. It was a path of lighted pumpkins all throughout the park.  There are some very talented and creative people out there.

We only ended up carving 2 pumpkins this year because we ran out of time.  There is just so much to cram in before the big day.  Matt and I's pumpkins will be decor on our front porch.  So it works out perfect!

We are ready to the 31st to come...the kids are excited because they get to spend Halloween with their cousins this year.  They will be here in a few short days!

Our favorite pumkpin patch

We we able to fit in a trip to the pumpkin patch once again even though it was dark.  We love Pack's Patch and have gone there since we moved to Utah. This year Ashlynn brought along her friend. It was a fun hour to enjoy the fun festivities. Now on to the hard work...carving all those pumpkins.

Football Team Photos

It was rainy and terrible weather during our scheduled time to take our teams photos so Matt and I made these up for the boys.  I think they turned out so much better and it cost less to print them.  Wahoo!  

We had a AWESOME team this year!  These boys made it all the way to the semifinals and then lost to make it to the championship game.  It was fun getting to know more parents and see these boys improve and most of all have FUN! Great Times!!      

Wood working kit

A special "Thanks" to Grandma Bobbi! Carter now has is own kit that comes in the mail each month. Its a wood working kit.

He spent his time listening to conference and putting together this helicopter.

 

Ashlynn helped with the painting.

It turned out pretty good.
