Visiting the pumpkin patch and picking out the perfect pumpkin. We got carving ones and painting ones this year.

Pumpkin Walk

Korra and Lily had me take a picture in every cut out this year :)

Carving pumpkins

Abby and Rachel dressed to do the haunted hollow

All lit up

The Ramsten family won the movie challenge and has the coveted trophy

I tried to make the cake look like candy corn. It turned out cute.

Later that day we went to the American West Heritage Center to go through the corn maze and haunted hollow. Korra didn't want to do any of that though so she went and led her best life riding trains and ponies.

This is from Tremonton's pumpkin walk

These ladies were the first in and the last out!

Got a glimpse of the northern lights. I actually could see some pink in the sky without my phone!

This is pretty big. Korra has been working toward earning some prizes and she's hit the mark every time. Korra has been coming to Eric and my bed every night. It's been rough, she is not easy to sleep with. Well if she stayed in her bed all night long she could earn french fries and ice cream from McDonald's (her favorite place to eat out). Well she's done it. Each time the time frame gets longer and she's done it each time. She hasn't come in our bed for almost a month now. It's magical. She is also working on going to bed without me staying with her for an hour. She's doing awesome at that too, she does come out of her room occasionally, but it has not been bad. I hardly know what to do with my nights now.

The comet!

Abby and I have been going to a craft night that our local library puts on every Tuesday. Anyone can sign up and come, but we've just had the regular who come for over a year now. We've gotten to know each other and planned a dinner party together. One of the ladies is expecting and we surprised her with a baby shower along with the dinner. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad to have gotten to know these women. We range in age from 17- 70's. 

The angle is weird, but it's a baby bump cake, she wanted to make it red, white and blue because those are the colors this lady uses all the time in her crafts but the red wasn't redding. She is being surprised by the gender.

This is our yummy dinner, homemade enchiladas, Spanish rice, beans and salad. Yum. 

Cute Halloween nails from Hailey. She is taking a break from doing nails cause her pregnancy is pretty rough so I will take a break too.

Made some chocolate bark to go boo some families

Eric and I went on a hike on a Saturday morning in Logan Canyon to visit the old pioneer sawmill. It wasn't a hard hike and was beautiful. Kids didn't want to get up early and come.

Later that day we went to a young women's baptism. I love baptisms and going to them. Abby played the piano and did awesome. I led the music. Leland is one of the girls that Kyla and I went to the missionary discussions with.

After that Mia had a few friends over and we went to the American West Heritage Center to do the corn maze and haunted hollow. Eric came too and went through the hollow this time. Payton was super against going in the hollow and refused until right before we went. She clung to Molly's arm the entire time, but made it through and even said she MIGHT do it again next year, but that was a big maybe.

Halloween Day

Just Mia, Lily and Korra went trick or treating this year. Abby had a friend over and they hung out and worked on a birthday present for another friend. Kyla went to a friend's house and had dinner, then they went to the clubhouse's theater room and watched a movie then did just dance. Everyone had a good night. It was the earliest I've been home on a Halloween in a really long time.

Off to school

Ate dinner on spider plates.

Even Eric got in on the Halloween spirit and sprayed his beard purple

All the candy

Mia and Lily went with a friend Molly for a few more hours after Korra was done. It was a pretty cold night. So they got a lot more candy than Korra did.

Took a screen shot of some of their Just Dance moves. They were entertaining to watch.
