HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
Tigger ~ Cowgirl ~ Wonder Woman~ Minnie Mouse
We had a fun week of Halloween.
On Tuesday, Lucy and I hosted a special Halloween lunch for 10
of her closest friends.  We made mummy dogs, witches brew
eyeballs and spider cookies. 
The girls had fun dressing up in costumes.
Aslo on Tuesday, Kate, Ella & Lucy got to wear their
Halloween costumes to dance.
On Wednesday we had a ward Trunk-or-Treat.
 This was the 3rd year our YW/YM have put on
this activity.  So much fun for everyone.
 Nels, Nate, Ella & Colby.
 Abby, Hannah, Sarah
 Fun games, cool trunks and treats!
On Thursday Lucy got to wear her costume
to Kindermusik.  We love Ms Anne and
love music class.
On Friday we had the school Halloween Parade.
Kate, Lizzy & Rachel were cute super heros!
 Our cute Minnie Mouse ~ Ella.

After the parade I helped with Lucy's class Halloween party.
We walked to The Alvey's Mansion.  They
had their house decorated so cute for Halloween.
They even had a skelton sitting at a player piano.
So much fun!
Lucy & I brought all of the supplies to make
Halloween magnets. They turned out to be a lot
more work than I had hoped, but they were super cute.
Friday afternoon I got to help Ella's class with
their class party. James glued houses together in advance and 
then I helped the kids decorate Haunted Houses.
Lucy got to make one too.
Cute 3rd Graders
Friday night we went to The Spaghetti Factory
to celebrate Grammy's Birthday.
There was a balloon artist that made all
of these fun shapes for the kids.
Saturday we had 2 soccer games, a drum lesson
and then we headed to Cornbelly's to play.
Amazing weather.
On Sunday we went to The Eversheds and had a Halloween
party and celebrated Grandpa Roger's 68th Birthday.
On Monday, October 31 the girls didn't have school. 
We were able to visit Tami.  Such special memories made.
Later in the day all of the Derrick cousins came
and we went trick-or-treating at Sunrise.
Next we went to visit Mommy Allo. Again, the best part of Halloween
was spending time with the great grandma's.  We loved visiting 
Mommy Allo.  I hope our girls will be like these two wonderful women.
We came home and had Jack-o-latern pizza.
Cat, witch & bat donuts from banbury cross....
and witches brew.
Then we headed out to do trick or treating.
Abby & her friends were so cute in their costumes.
Abby went bowling with friends.
James & I took the other 3 girls trick or treating around the neighborhood.
Fun Halloween!

I Know The Scriptures Are True - Primary Program

The Primary Presidency asked if one of our girls
would like to come up with a piece of artwork for
the Primary Program.  Ella said she would love to!
With the help of her art teacher, Mrs. Cherilyn,
Ella painted this beautiful painting of the scriptures on canvas. 
 They were able to color copy the painting onto
individual programs for the Primary Program.
I am so proud of Ella's hardwork and willingness to share her talent.
Kate, Ella & Lucy each did a wonderful job singing and
saying their parts in the program.  They even had the YW/YM
sing one song standing in the aisles....so we got to hear
Abby sing too.  Such a memorable moment.
I love these girls!

Conbelly's Bounceback

We had such a fun time at Cornbelly's that we decided to 
bounce back and go a second time this year!
It is one of our favorite Fall traditions.


 Girls rode horses.

 Got lost in the mazes.
 Jumped on the giant pillow.
 Buried each other in the corn beach.

Super fun and relaxing Saturday afternoon!
Love these fun girls!

Frist Time to Antelope Island

We had such a great experience visiting
Antelope Island for the first time.
 This was the first trip to Antelope Island for Lori, Abby, Ella
& Lucy.  We see it everyday from our house  but
we have never been to this amazing island.
 One day a year they have a Bison Roundup.
They gather all of the bison and count them.
We just happened to go on this day.
 We counted 40 Bison. 
Some came within a couple of feet of our car.
We also saw a lot of Antelope.
 We felt like we were on a Safari Adventure.
 We made it all the way to the Ranch.
 I love and adore these beautiful girls!

Gorgeous Salt Lake.
Beautiful Beach Babes 
Amazing sunset! Magical day!
