Halloween - School Parade

 Before school started.  We had to take one with the masks on, because they couldn't wear them to school.

This morning Dani and I went to the school to watch the girls at the school Halloween Parade!  So many creative costumes!  And the girls looked cute!

School Pictures

 Charley 1st Grade

Gabby Pre-K

We decided to get actual school pictures this year!  I think they are beautiful!!! It is crazy how big they are getting!  Two in school!  (technically 1, but since Gabby's preschool is at the elementary, it kinda counts!)

Fall Festival

Today was so nice! It was almost 70 degrees. We were outside taking advantage of the nice weather, because Monday we get a cold front coming in!  The girls had fun making a leaf pile and messing it up.  It must be fun to be  a kid!  We don't have a lot of leaves on the ground, our trees arn't very big to begin with, but we made due with what we had.

Tonight was also our ward Fall Festival, and Trunk or Treat.  The two older girls were excited to wear their Power Ranger costumes, and Ben pulled through and made Dani a zombie.  And I am proud to announce that my chile won the chile cook off!!  I was pretty proud of myself.  Go me!

Painting Pumpkins

For Monday night family night we decided to paint our pumpkins we got last week. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Fall Break

A few weekends ago was fall break.  We decided to just stay home this year.  On Friday, Ben took a half day and we grabbed lunch then headed out to the mountains to see the leaves changing color.  If we ever do move out of Utah, the mountains in the fall would be one this I would really miss. We brought bags for the girls to collect leaves. And then we all tried to catch "lucky leaves."  It was a pretty and relaxing afternoon.  After the mountains, we went to the dollar movie to redeem our free movie with the Pass of All Passes and watched "Monsters University."

Go Go Power Ranger

For Halloween this year, the girls wanted to be Power Rangers.  I found some pink ranger costumes at Costco! The other night I was having the girls try them on.  Dani was soooo mad she didn't get a costume.  Ben says he gets to dress her again this year.  But she felt left out when the other girls tried on their costume, so I had Dani try on Gabby's.  It was really funny, this little person in a big costume.  Plus she was trying to act like a Ranger. It was hard to capture it on camera, but you can imagine!

Cristina's 30th Birthday = Girls trip!

 Kristen, Me, Cassandra, & Cristina 

One of my very good friends, Cristina, turned 30 back in September.  So for her big year, we decided to take a girls trip to St. George for her birthday!  We left Friday afternoon, and came back home Sunday evening.  It was a quick trip, but super fun!  We got our nails done, went shopping, layed by the pool, watched movies, we even watched general conference, and of course went to some yummy restaurants!  I love these ladies!  Happy birthday Cristina!!!
