Halloween!!!

We had a great Halloween this year. We went to our wards trunk or treat on Saturday the 25th. Adalyn decided she wanted to be Barbie as the Island Princess and Ellie was a beautiful butterfly. I loved both of there costumes. Both of the girls loved dressing up and seeing everyone elses costumes and getting candy. On Halloween day we went to a little parade here on base where kids and parents walked to different building trick or treating and that was a lot of fun and then that night Adam and I took them around our neighoborhood. It was not to cold out as you can see in the pictures Adam is wearing shorts it was 80 degrees which was nice. Also there is a picture of Adam wearing a mask, during the week of Halloween the base was doing what they call an "excercises." Where basically they simulate different emergencies and attacks. This time they acted as though they were in a deployed environment out at the flightline. They practiced chemical attacks and so he would have to put on these special clothes and mask and get under the table. It made me laugh to think of him hiding under the table but everyone had to do it. Anyways the girls thought it was funny that he had the mask on.
Oh yeah also the orange shirts the girls are wearing with the pumpkin face is something we did at her pre-school. I thougth it was such a clever idea. We took white shirts and tie-died them orange but made an orange circle in the middle to paint a pumpkin. The girls loved making them.

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm!

So the last couple of years we have gone to Wheatland the closest town to us about 10minutes away and gone to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm. It is a huge farm that has a ton of things to do. A petting zoo, a train, slides, pig racing, trains to play on and tons of really yummy food! We always have a good time when we go and at the end of it we get to go on a tractor pulled hay ride and go to the pumpkin patch and pick our pumpkins. Both of the girls loved it all and it was a great family day. We went on Columbus day, Monday October 13th. The military gets that day off which is really nice.

Broken Teeth!

This picture was taken a couple of days later. It looked a lot better then when it first happened!

Well on October 18th it was stake conference weekend and I had decided to do some deep cleaning before we left for the Saturday adult session. I was upstairs cleaning and had just finished mopping the down stairs. I could hear Adalyn running around and singing and then a big "BANG" and a scream. I new she had fallen so I came running downstairs and Adam had already picked her up. She was bleeding on her bottom lip and I was asking Adam what happened. He said she was running through the kitchen and slipped on the floor and pretty much face planted it. Her bottom lip was swollen and bloody but I thought a popsicle would make her feel better. She still kept crying and I decided she was probably tired, so I calmed her down and put her down for a nap. A couple hours later Adam had left early for the Stake center and Adalyn woke up. She was still really crying and upset. I was trying to get ready to go and she finally said to me "this hurts" and pointed to her top teeth. I pulled back her top lip and could immediately see something was wrong. Her gums were dark purple and bleeding right above her top big middle tooth and the tooth right next to it. I gently touched her teeth and they were very loose! I freaked out thinking she had gone a couple of hours with her teeth probably hurting so badly and telling her to just go to bed. Plus Adam was already gone, so I called her dentist there was an on call dentist who said he wanted to see her. After getting a hold of Adam we met at the dentist office who took x-rays and told us that she had fractured both teeth at the root tips and would probably need both teeth pulled by an oral surgeon who would sedate her to do it. It was been a few weeks and she hasn't lost her teeth yet. They are still loose and there has been no infection yet. The dentist said they will probably turn dark (die) and then need to be pulled but that could take a month to happen or a year. So now we are just waiting so see what will happen and hoping that she is able to keep her teeth since her adult teeth won't come in for another 3-4 years! I would hate for her to have a big toothless smile!

Pre-School!!

So I wanted Adalyn to start pre-school this year but the one here on base was full, so some ladies in my ward decided that we should just do our own. Every Friday we meet at Carrie Grummert's house. Her two boys do it Scott and Porter, Adalyn and Ellie Corbridge another little girl in our ward. Adalyn loves going each week and us 3 moms take turn teaching the lesson. We usually sing, teach a new letter and number and do crafts with a snack. It is a lot of fun and Adalyn is learning a lot. For October they made pumpkin bats and spiders. They thought it was so fun to be able to paint.
