Halloween was upon us once again and kick off to the holdiay season was here! Emery asked every day since Oct. 1st when it was trick or treating time! She was very excted to show off her lady bug costume! The night before Halloween our young men and young women group put on a Halloween carnival for all the kids. It turned out great and the kids had a blast playing games and winning prizes/candy! Tyler got to help out and was Si from Duck Dynasty. Treven went as Steve from the Minecraft game, and Halle was a tiger. Dylan had been staying with us since his parents were out in England visiting Grandma and Grandpa so he joined us for Halloween and was the Creeper from Minecraft.










Finally it was Halloween and time for trick or treating to begin. I got to go down and help with Treven's Halloween party during the day. Then Ryan took over and went down to the kids Halloween parade at school while I was trying to get rid of a headache. Then after it was the 100 time Treven asked if he could go trick or treating we sent him and Dylan free with their friends. Halle and Emery were stuck trick or  treating with us. Ryan did disappoint the ward again this year with his Halloween costume but he did make me join in the fun. We went as Tarzan and Jane. Brad and Lezlee came down with their kids and went with us. The kids had a great time running around the neighborhood and coming home with lots, and lots, of candy. Holly and their kids joined in also a little later and Nan and Helen too. We had a big group of kids and it made the night more fun!








The next night Nov. 1 I took the kids down to Jakers pumpkin patch for the smash bash! They have all these free activities to smash pumpkins. The kids got to go up in a lift and drop their pumpkins. Then the boys ran off and smashed pumpkins with a sword, golf club, and baseball bat! Halle did the pumpkin bowl and Emery just ran around playing in the dried corn. While I was waiting in line for the face painting booth Treven ran up and showed me he had won the pumpkin dive and found the pumpkin with the work smash on it! He won some candy and movie tickets! He was very excited and made me keep the smash pumpkin. After waiting in line he kids finally got their faces painted and the lady did an awesome job! We had to leave so we could go up to Aunt Beckies halloween party.





















We all love Aunt Beckie's halloween party! It was time for yummy soup, minute to win it games, talking, and celebrating Autumn's birthday. We all had fun and joined in for the games, then Halle got to have Autumn sleep over and that made her whole night!
