Halloween!

We had a lot of fun on Halloween as usual!  We had the Eatherly's join us this year for chili and then trick or treating.  We also went with our neighbors and got a lot of candy in just a short time!  I really love our neighborhood and how almost everyone participates.  My kids costumes were adorable and I had: Mal from Descendants, Batgirl, Shimmer from Shimmer and Shine and a little firefighter!

Decorating Pumpkins

This year we got Boo'd (treats left on our doorstep) with some awesome decorations for pumpkins.  So instead of carving pumpkins (which I am not good at!), we got to decorate them instead and the kids loved it!!  It was so much easier and a lot of fun and they looked so cute on my porch!

Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week and I have a love/hate relationship.  I love that the kids get to have fun and do crazy things for school but it is a lot of work!  Thank goodness our neighbor Mandee totally saved me this week!!!  She completely planned the hair for everyone and helped me with the dress up day. We had crazy hair day, pajama day (not pictured) and Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character.  Emma was Athena the goddess, Madison was Fancy Nancy and Makenna was Pinkalicious.

Elder Heward Visit

Elder Heward is definitely one of our favorite missionaries that we have had.  Every once in awhile we get to go and meet him and take him out to dinner.  We love Elder Heward!

Random Pictures

I always need to include a post that shows some random pictures that are too cute not to share!

Awards and New Teachers!

Madison and Makenna both received awards this month!  They are both doing really great in school and Kenna even got an award with her bestie Tatum.  Madison had a bit of a change when her teacher had to leave school for awhile and she got new teachers!  She is now in a class with Mrs. Christensen and Mrs. Street.  We really like her new teachers so we know it is going to be a great year!

Emma's 2nd Surgery

Emma's second surgery came with only one day's notice!!  We were planning to have the surgery in December but the opportunity came to have it in September and get it done and over with.  The nurses were so amazing during this surgery.  Emma had her stuffed zebra with her and they made sure to give her an IV so that she could match Emma.  Then, they let Emma take the zebra into surgery with her and she came out with a matching cast!  It really helped to put us all at ease.  The surgery went great but the next day Emma had some sort of allergic reaction to something and her face swelled up.  We gave her Benadryl and watched her for a day but we ended up taking her into urgent care and we got some stronger medicine to help.  It eventually went back to normal but we still aren't positive what she reacted to.  Now she just has to wear a brace for six more weeks and this whole fiasco will finally be over!
