Pre Halloween Festivities - October!

I am on a roll. I would love to document Halloween before Christmas, so here's a quick post in cell phone pics about the month of October. I just got put in as Primary President on Sunday, so the busyness picked up a bit.

Seth loves to help in the kitchen. He likes to "experiment" and make his own concoctions--most of which are not edible, but he asked to make an apple pie for a while before I got around to it. It made his day. We made the entire thing from scratch, and I tried to let him do as much as possible. It was delicious!

Last soccer game!

This was a bad one. Luke was kicking a soccer ball against the house while Leah was riding her bike (with no helmet). The ball went behind Luke and took out her bike tire, and she hit her head hard. Luke came running in with her and this giant goose egg! It has been about three weeks and it looks pretty good but there is still a scar where the scab was and a little bump. I'm not sure it will ever be the same.

The Elder's Quorum party at the Paradise Halloweenie Roast. Such a cute place!

Buying pumpkins (since the deer ate all but two of ours).

Jer took Luke and Seth on their annual backpacking trip. They went to White Pine again. Next year Ian will go along. This year they hiked to the summit of Mt. Magog on Saturday morning before they came home. That's quite the tough, bushwhacking climb!

Picture rock!

In the meantime Ian, Leah, and I went to the Halloween benefit run for LCA and cute Ezra.

By the weekend Leah had double shiners!

Selfies for Willie Nelson and his kids!

We took a quick UEA getaway kind of a long ways away. Lots of driving for a short trip, but we had fun. We stayed in a condo at Brianhead ski resort and expolored the Cedar Breaks area. The weather on Saturday did not cooperate and resulted in unreal mud! We spent quite a bit of time in the clubhouse and even went to Cedar City to see a movie. All in all a fun trip.
