Happy Halloween!

We had a fun (but wet!) Halloween, with way too much candy making its way into our house and tummies over the weekend. Tanner, Carter and Lauren went the Toy Story route with Buzz, Woody and Little Bo Peep, while Ashley was a hippie and Kaitlyn was a fortune-teller gypsy. Lots of fun!

Halloween Happenings

There's been lots of Halloween parties and carnivals at school and church and Dinosaur parks and Gardner Village and everywhere else. Lots of fun!

Carving Craze

Getting ready for the big night!

Playing in the Pumpkin Patch

Rise and Shout!

We had our annual indoctrination trip down to Provo. It's amazing how much allegiance you can buy with a t-shirt and popcorn at a football game! Future cougars, all of them!

A Field-Tripping We Go!

It took a couple weeks for him to warm up to the whole idea, but Tanner absolutely loves preschool and his teacher, Miss Addie. Last week, he was excited to go on his first field trip to the local grocery store. It was quite the tour, with treats and snacks along the way and a fun time for all.

You've got to stop losing things!

It happened! It happened! Lauren was so concerned about not losing a tooth yet (most of her 1st grade friends have lost teeth already) that she was stunned and giggly when we discovered a tooth literally about to fall out. It came out easily--and then to our surprise, she had another loose tooth the next night again about to fall out. She gave the tooth fairy a workout, but was very excited to be "all grown up now!"
