Halloween Fun part 2

Happy Halloween! We had lots of fun, along with many activities this past week! Jackson and Garrett decided they would be cowboys for Halloween, so of course Hannah Lu was a cowgirl.
Hannah Lu, she finally put her hat on for me so I could take a picture

We went to the Jensen Pumpkin Festival friday night for the first time. The traffic was horrible! So next year we decided to go at 6:00pm when it starts.

We had a Halloween party Friday afternoon. We had a great turn out and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Thanks to Andrea Wardle that took a group picture!

This is the decor over the kitchen table. We made and decorated Halloween cupcakes, that the kids snarfed in a matter of 5 minutes! This party was all my Mom's idea, so we would not have been able to do it without her! I remember having a big Halloween party when I was little, so I am glad that my children have one to remember.

My Mom is also the pumpkin carver in the family. My friend Leesa and her girls went with us to get pumpkins, and then for Family Home Evening my Mom carved everyone's pumpkins with the face of their choice! Mom has been here for three weeks now, and my Dad drove down to get her. I am sure they are ancious to return home, but they will be missed. Thanks for coming Mom, we had so much fun, and love you and appreciate all that you do for us!

My Mom is here to stay through Halloween, and she brought lots of fun stuff for the kids. These houses came in kits and she and the kids put them all together. There will be more Halloween fun to come!

Free ice skating lessons!

I saw a sign on the fence by the middle school, Free Skating Lessons! So I took the my kids, and my friends. They had a blast! It was really cute. The high school ice hockey team was there to assist the coach that was putting this on. They also had these walker things for the kids to skate with.
Jackson really got the hang of it, and by the time it was time to go he was skating pretty fast.

The coach would blow his whistle and everyone would come in and he would give them something else to work on.

Makayla on the other hand I think was enjoying the attention that she was getting from a couple of the boys from the hockey team! They were really cute with all of the kids.

This young man escorted her out onto the rink because at the time she didn't have a walker. We had lots of fun, hopefully we can do it again.
