One More Halloween Picture

Talor sent me pictures of her and her roomates on Hallween...Fun Fun. Talor went as Hannah or a little girl. Everyone at the party she was at kept telling her she needed to go home it was past her bed time. But really they didn't want her to. From what I hear many Old Farm residents think she makes a mean smoothie so she had to stay up past her bed time.

First Snow, Daddy Daughter Date, and Halloween. My what a week.

Last week we had our first snow of the season. Hannah and Braden are off track so Hannah enjoyed playing in the snow.

This is her snow baby she built and packed around. She even brought it into our house.


She even made this snow man all by herself. I only had to help lift the middle ball onto the bottom. She did everything else by herself.


Friday was Hannah's first Daddy Daughter Date for activity day. It was a mixed up mania theme. They had to dress crazy and do hair crazy. Then they ate spaghetti crazy and with crazy cooking utensils. Hannah had an egg whisk to eat with. She told me she just picked it up with her hand and put it onto the whisk to eat it.

We did her hair with pipe cleaners and braids.


They dressed the same but then Eric wore Hannah's beads and headbands and Hannah wore Eric's tie. They put on miss matched shoes. Hannah said the activity was WONDERFUL.



I thought Halloween was going to be less crazy this year because it wasn't a school day. It was a calm day until Allie and her friend Taylor decided to knit there leg warmers on the looms for their costumes at 4:00 pm for their 7:00 pm party. Then Halloween became crazy. Eric was even knitting the last one while I started hair and make-up. We got both done but one is two inches shorter than the other. But everyone ended up having great fun. Lots of candy and a little scaring down at Lovers Lane. OOOOOH.

Allie dressed up as an 80's workout person. I thought we got the hair just right. Hannah was dressed to go to the Masquerade ball.



The Boys did the glow stick man for their costumes.


These are our pumpkins we carved this year. One of my favorite things to do.
I will admit the throwing up one is mine. Josh thought it would be funny to have it throw up on his. Hannah made beaded earrings for hers and Braden's looked like it had been in a fight. This year was great. The boys did theirs all by themselves. I'll I had to do was scrape a little of Hannahs and cut her. WOW they are growing up.

BFF's

Last Friday Hannah ask me if I could do her hair pretty and take her and Kristen to the Temple and take their pictures together. So we got Hannah ready. Katie got Kristen ready and Allie and I took them to the Jordan River Temple and took their pictures together. They have been best of buds for a long time know. Kristen is older in school than Hannah but they are in the same primary class. They love to go shopping together already. They like to pretend they are Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. They play dolls and have twin glitter balls that never leave there side. They even had the glitter balls in a few pictures. Funny Girls. Thank heavens for a BFF.

Allie did a great job. She was laying on the ground and standing tall to get some of the pictures. Sorry I posted so many There were so many that turned out so cute.

Allie at Girls Pref Dance

Allie went to the Girls Pref Dance. She went with Garrett Steed. The girls from her Cross Country team went together. They had a great time together. The got together earlier in the day and went to a pumpkin patch and carved the pumpkins. Later the got together and had soup and chili for dinner. Then they went to the dance. After the dance they made carmel apples. What a great fun fall date.

State Cross Country Meet

Allie ran in the State XC meet on Wednesday. She did a great job. She wasn't happy with how she did, but good old Dad came to the rescue. He asked her what her goal for this year was and she said to run in State. Then he asked her what she just finished doing. Now she can make new goals for next year. YOU GO GIRL!!!



You can look close at the next two pictures and play a game. Wheres Waldo?
