Halloween

This year was full of Halloween activities. On Thursday we went to Lizzy's preschool for a trick-or-treat. It started with reading a Halloween book. Then the kids got to go around the parking lot and trick-or-treat at the cars. There was even a little spooky trailer for the kids to walk through. They had so much fun.

Travis choose to be a dragon this year.

If you ask Lizzy what she is, she will tell you "Fairy Wings."

Then Friday we had the ward Halloween party. The kids and I made a bunch of cupcakes for the party. They had fun decorating the cupcakes. The kids had fun playing the games and trunk-or-treating at the party.



Saturday Eric wasn't feeling well so I took the kids to Boo at the Zoo with Michele and Serena. They had so much fun looking at the animals. There was a costume contest and the kids had fun dancing on the stage. They danced for 1/2 hour. Then when the contest started, they didn't want to be up on the stage. I had to stand up there with them. They didn't win the contest but they had fun. It was so fun to watch Lizzy. Every time Lizzy would see one of those big inflatable decorations (ie pumpkin, ghosts, gorilla...) she would get so excited and run over giggling. The kids had so much fun this year. They can't wait til next Halloween.

Last Minute Mini Vacation

The kids and I went up to Billings MT 2 weekends ago. Grandpa Vorhauer had bypass surgery and a heart valve transplant. My Mom and Aunt Diana flew up to see their Dad. We went up to see my Mom, Aunt Diana, Aunt Angie, Uncle Barry, DJ and family, Grandma, and Grandpa. It was fun to see everyone. I got to spend a couple of hours at the hospital with Grandma and Grandpa. The kids and I also got to go play with DJ's family one evening. It was great to see everyone. Grandpa is home from the hospital and recovering quickly.
