Ward Halloween Party!

This year primary was in charge of the Halloween party and since I am in the primary presidency that means I got to help. Since our ward is tiny we new we wouldn't have enough people to do trunk-or-treat. So we decided to do a candy land themed carnival and chille dinner. It was a lot of work but a really fun night. We set up the gym to look like the candy land game board and at each stop kids played a carnival game and got a candy to go along with it. At the end we had 4 pinjatas and divided the kids into 4 groups. We filled the pinatas with good candy and that is how they got the bulk of there candy. It was a really fun night and the girls loved dressing up. They were cowgirls this year(pink and purple of course!)


Some of there friends Lindsay and Shyanne.

Adalyn loved being a "purple" cowgirl!

Ellie as a cute cowgirl!


The chocolate swamp where you fish for fudge!



They loved Princess Frostine where they frosted sugar cookies.


This is Gramma Nut you throw bean bags through the windows.




This is the girls on Halloween day. They were so excited to carve pumpkins and get dressed up again. As you can see Adalyn kept posing and Ellie copied her. It was so funny to watch them.

Bishop's Pumpkin Farm 2009!

I know I already showed that I went with Adalyn and her class to the pumpkin farm but we wanted to go as a family so we all went together one day. It was great weather and the girls had so much fun going. We went and did everything they had to do, hayrides, slides, animal petting area, and the thing they loved the most is that this year they had real pony rides. The girls have never done that before and I really thought they would chicken out but they didn't! They had so much fun and were so cute. With our girls getting bigger it has become a lot easier and a lot of fun to go and do things. They are getting so big, and it's been nice to be able to experience new things with our girls.

Fun Family Night!

On October 10, 2009 we decided to take the girls out to have some fun. They love to bowl so we went to the base's bowling alley were they also have a very small miniature golf course. The girls had so much fun bowling they both would carry there heavy balls to the ramp and push it down. Ellie was really funny to watch carry a heavy ball grunting the whole time. As you can see while playing miniature golf they didn't quite figure out how the game was supposed to go but it kept them busy for like an hour and it was hilarious to watch! I love my family and loves days like these!

First Field Trip!

October 6, 2009
So Adalyn's pre-school took all the classes to Bishop's Pumpkin farm this year and I went as a parent volunteer! All the kids were so excited about it and it was Adalyn's first field trip and first time on a school bus! She loved feeling like such a big kid! So we drove just 10 minutes from base to the farm and first went on a hay ride and we each got to pick out a pumpkin then we went to some slides and other fun playing areas. We also saw a pig race, and went on a train ride. At the end we got to have the best sugar cookies and apple cider I have ever had! It was such a fun day for her!
