Halloween 2012

Carving Pumpkin Time

 Last year I didn't get pumpkins, thinking no one really liked doing it and the kids were getting older. They were so mad at me! So, this year we did it and it was pretty fun.

Seth's jack-o-lantern had nerd glasses, just like him.

Since Seth is my only child in elementary school, I went and helped with his party. I always play the same game because it's a good one. If you roll a 7 or an 11 you have to jerk your marshmallow "ghost" out before the pan lid comes crashing down. The kids seem to like it.

 Maddie- Spiderman Our neighbor made her hat and it was so cute she decided to do a whole costume around it.

 Max was a leaf blower.

 Maddie and her friend Alyssa. Cute heroes.

Tanner is Slenderman. I don't know much about him but I know he's creepy. Tanner didn't really have anything to do on Halloween. He got invited to a party and then it got cancelled. He watched a scary movie with a couple of neighbors.

Conference at the Cabin

 It's always nice to go to the cabin during conference in October. The leaves are beautiful and the weather's beautiful! My dad decided to install a super deluxe sky ride. It turned out great!

 Maddie "helping" grandpa and Tanner helping Jon build the tower.

 The men all ready for Priesthood session. This was Max's first time to go since he's now 12! Looking handsome!

 We took a walk down to the river. I tried to time my picture for the splash. It worked pretty well.

 I could see through Seth's ears because of the sky light above him. You can't see it as well in the picture.

The Grapes of Wrath

 Maddie played rec. soccer this year and had so much fun! It was a girls team ages 14-18.  Jon signed up to coach when nobody else would and another dad, Johnny who also didn't know how to coach the girls. Luckily for Maddie she has an Aunt and Uncle that came to every practice and taught the girls skills. Amazingly they won every single game!! Thanks, Donovan and Paige!

 Last game, it was a close one!

 The whole team with "coaches" Jon and Johnny. We should've had Donovan and Paige in the picture, oops. We still have the other half of the season in the Spring so it's not over yet!

The Team's biggest fan- Elliott. She also went to every practice so it was usually my job to babysit her so her parents could coach. Elliott is a dream baby, she just babbles and laughs.
