Ginger (Graham) Bread House Contest

Last night we had an Elders quorum party. The goal was to make an amazing ginger bread house. This was our attempt. It was a blast.

Fall Family Pictures

The girls are changing so quickly that we needed to do pictures again. Here are some that we thought were fun.

Girls at Home

Other than a few dramatic moments the girls have loved the new home. My favorite is Lucy taking pictures and star gazing like her dad.

Halloween

Lucy got to Trick or Treating 3 time this year! She loved every minute of it. Her Great Grandma Dalton even gave her a blow-up Snoopy and Woodstock to use as a Halloween decoration, Lucy was fascinated by it. Lucy was a Care Bear and Aaralyn was a pink poodle, although she was called just about everything under the sun, a bunny, a lamb, etc. First they got to go the Ward Trunk-or-Treat at a park near our house. Immediately Lucy grabbed Sharla's hand and said, let's start. She made out pretty well. Then they opened Kelly's building up for cubicle trick-or-treating, it was great four floors of heated candy giving and happy girls :). Then on Halloween night, Kelly and Lucy explored the neighborhood and had loads of fun meeting loads of new people. It was a good thing we had to trick or treating opportunities before the big night because we had so many kids come to our home that we had to give out almost all of Lucy's candy and even some fruit rolls. We almost had to start giving away pieces of the house, good thing they stopped coming :-). We'll have to go to more places next year to stock-up. Just kidding, I'll get Kelly to buy more candy.

Box Store/House

One Friday afternoon Uncle Craig and Aunt Jenny created a house out of some boxes that Blaine was able to get from work. The girls loved it. Lucy decided that one half was a store and one half was a house. Oh the joys of boxes :-)

Company Party

We were able to go to the Wheeler Farm for Kelly's company party. The girls loved it. They got to go on a wagon ride and look at Halloween lights, go through a corn maze, and pick a pumpkin right out of the patch.

What have we been up to...well

We have recently moved to a new home in Riverton, UT. We sold our home in Roy and transitioned from Jenny's to our new home. Thanks Jenny & Craig, Ashley, and Ashlyn and Blaine & Megan, and mom and dad, and.......the list could go on for quite a ways. We have been so blessed to have everything fall in place. Kelly began work at his new office location nearly the same day of the transition, which was mainly our whole reason for leaving Roy. Riverton is windy, but a wonderful place. The girls have enjoyed the THREE parks just a stones throw away. The library is just up the road. Kelly can even ride his bike to work. Could it get any better? :-) Well just so everyone knows tile is a slippery surface, just be aware, Lucy has learned this little lesson over and over again, in tights.
