Halloween Party at Little Gym

The week before Halloween Abbey had her Halloween party at Little Gym. They had several fun activites for the kids to do (trick or treat bags, fishing, bowling, bean bag toss, slide, etc). All the instructors did a performance and Abbey thought this was so cool to see her teachers, "Miss Sarah" & "Miss Erin" dancing!!! After the party Abbey, Jeff and I went out for Mexican Food.

Barnyard Boo/ Thanksgiving Point

This past month Jacy & I also took the girls to Thanksgiving Point to the Barnyard Boo. We got to see the animals, decorate cookies, go on a carriage ride, play games & went on several pony rides. Both girls had a fun time and this is something I would recommend for parents with young kids!! We are definitely going back next year!!!!

Trick of Treat Street

Brynlee & Abbey

Abbey giving Carson a kiss

Abbey was sure this was spongebob's Pirate

The girls got way to much candy

You gotta love those fake smiles and poor Carson in his spider costume. I'm pretty sure he hated it!!

Jacy & I took the girls to Trick or Treat Street and South Town Expo right before Halloween and it was really neat. Abbey even wanted me to paint a pumpkin on her face and you all know how artistic I am. Abbey just adores baby Carson and she is always talking and kissing on him. I think she need a sibling!!

I haven't blogged in awhile, but last month Jeff's aunt and uncle came into town to spend a few days with the family. This also forces my mother in law to clean and dust before they get here!! =) A trait which she passed on to her children!!!!

We always love hanging out with this half of the family, they are awesome and they are so good to us.

Scarecrow Festiva at Thanksgiving Point

Abbey & Sierra


Sieera chose the skeleton and Abbey chose a spider


They both had their faces painted like cats

Abbey holding very still while they painted her face

We spend a good majority of our time on the bouncing slides

On Friday October 17, Kelly and I took the girls to the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Earlier that day we had lunch at Kelly's house with her parents and Mike & Maureen and it was very yummy. We spent the latter part of the afternoon and early evening with the girls here and we had a good time. After lunch instead of going with us, Jeff opted to go fishing at Deer Creek, go figure he always cops out of these fun times!!!

Family Walk at Willow Park

Abbey opted to ride her Dora bike


Checking out the river where Jeff has been canoeing


Taking a picture in the sun


Abbey rode her little bike the entire 2 miles

Posing with Jeff (Jeff wasn't too happy that I didn't capture the mountains as the background, hence the fence).... I tried, my picture taking skills are not that great.

On a warm October afternoon we drove out to the Jordan Park (Willow Park) and walked on the trail for a bit. Abbey had a great time and wanted to keep going!!!

This past month Abbey and I did some fun little baking projects for Halloween. I let her help me make cupcakes and Halloween sugar cookies. We also spent a night making pumpkins to take to grandma and grandpa's house.
