Halloween

Ward Halloween Party went well. This year I was an old lady again, Steve was the wookie, Caleb a pirate and Chase and Makenna decided to be rappers. Which then influenced several of Makenna's frinds to be rappers!

Caleb got to dress up again the Friday before Halloween for school and this time we remembered his facial hair.

Halloween day Chase wore his rapper things to school while Makenna and her friends were dwarfs and Makenna was Feisty. Caleb decided to go as Scream for trick or treating.

Caleb and Steve carved our pumpkin and it was the pumpkin Caleb grew from the seed he got from school in the spring.

Halloween Bunco

Makenna hosted "Halloween Bunco" at our house. We had fun food, bunco, silly prizes and it was so great having Makenna's friends over for a bit. Caleb also got to play as a sub and had fun with the older kids.

Fall Break

For fall break we went to Utah. We left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa and Steve and I did our own thing for a few days. We went up to Tony's Grove one afternoon to enjoy the fall colors

Played racquetball, went to the temple, had lunch with Sharon and Steph, aggie ice cream and an evening out with Josh and Chris. Josh got out the telescope that night and we saw Saturn! It was amazing to actually see the rings of the planet! And a picture of our room at the Anniversary Inn (it was carribean sea theme)

After our few days in Logan we took the kids to Salt Lake to see Thriller. This was the last year they are doing the show so we knew we had to go!

The plan was to go to Lagoon "Frightmares" but the weather was terrible that weekend so we ended up going swimming at the Bountiful indoor pool with Mark and Steff which turned out great as well.

We were able to see Steve's family that weekend as well. We stayed at Dave and Jennifer's. Everyone came over for breakfast one morning but I failed in getting a picture. We did also go out with them to Red Robin one evening before we went to Thriller but I only captured half the group.

The one picture Makenna sent me of their time with Grandma was them out on a trail enjoying the fall colors. They had a good time with Grandma outside and also went to the fun park and bowling.

Canning

I went to Chris's house for a few days to can applesauce, pears and make freezer jam. It was a successful weekend and fun to hang out with the Runhaars!

While I was gone Steve was able to take the kids to the Montana State game where it looks like they had a good time!
