Class Halloween Party

Karli had a fun Halloween Party at school today. I got to go help with the party, Ryley came with me. They got to make sucker ghosts, decorate a little pumpkin and make a trick or treat bag. Some fun activities for the kids to do. Ryley liked going to school with the big kids. Cute little witch, Miss Karli!!

Halloween Time!!


Travis is a great dad!! He did all the pumpkin carving with the kids. I was gone teaching Foster parent classes and Justice was gone to Young Womens. Kids had a great time, what kids don't like to carve pumpkins!! Good Job Everyone!!

Family Times


Lots has happened and some fun things have occured, I am finally getting some time to write and update with some pics. Before we moved in the begining of October my family came out to see us. My mom and dad, Eric & Lindsay and thier boys, and my sister, Jennifer. We had lots of fun and the kids enjoyed hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa. My parents stayed in a hotel, so they had the kids come have a sleepover and watch a movie, the kids just loved that. They got to go swimming, which is a rare treat since thier are no pools in Rexburg. My friend Nantalie's family are potatoe farmers and we got to go up to the farm and pick the potatoes the combines don't get. It was fun to see how the whole process of potatoe farming works. We got to go see the potatoe cellars with all the millions of potatoes, and the machines that run and high school kids who work spuds!! It is quite the production!! We got boxes of fresh potatoes, they were kinda little but, we will be eating them up. We had a lot of fun having cousins and Grandma and Grandpa visit us. We will miss them! Travis & I are planning on taking a road trip to Virginia in June.
