Happy Halloween!

 

 

This was the first year our elementary school let the kids wear their costumes to school.  They had a parade outside and plenty of treats.  Scott had to help chaperon a dance for the youth in our church.  This was the first time since I have known Scott that he dressed up for Halloween!  Our kids loved watching me transform him into a vampire.

Grandma Beverly and Grandma Hardy Visit

We had Grandma Beverly and Grandma Hardy visit in October. They got to go to Esther's soccer game. We worked on family history and shutterfly photo books. Jonah performed his magic show. We miss you!

Scott in the Cardboard Boat

The last race of the day they made a leader from each troop go in the boat. Scott got in, the boat floated for a few minutes then sank with everyone on board! Noah is glad to have his dad in Scouting. They are learning a lot.

Boy Scout Cardboard Boat Race

Noah's boy scout troop came in 3rd place in the cardboard boat race. They spent hours the previous three weeks making the boat. Luckily it floated! The race was the end of a campout weekend. Scott is the Young Men's president in our ward and gets to work with the Boy Scouts. It was perfect October weather and the lake was still warm enough to get wet.

Walk to School

Esther and friend

Ezra, his teacher and Trevor

Our school had a Walk to School day to encourage exercise and healthy living. My kids were so excited because we live too far to walk, I always drive them to school. The city hall was the designated spot for kids and parents to meet at then walk with their classes to the school. I walked with Esther's kindergarten class. There was a huge turnout and the kids really loved it. Hopefully it will become an annual tradition.
