More Halloween Fun

The kids had a wonderful Halloween season. They went to a party at their Grandpa Teds retirement home. They had fun with their cousins.

Aspen, Raegan, and McKenna

For Halloween we went trick or treating with our good friends the McEuens. First we all went and had some yummy chili at Nat es parents house. Then we went to a nice neighborhood by our house and it was full of people. The weather was great and people were everywhere. It was one of our favorite Halloweens ever. It was so nice having so many children running everywhere and all the houses were decorated so fun.

Halloween Party

My good friend Zildy and I signed up for this great Halloween party at my one of my favorite places...Sunflower. Its a natural grocery store that has fun activities for kids. I was so impressed with the party. They had a station for decorating pumpkins, decorating their own trick or treat bag, making pretzel necklaces, and face painting. Now this lady was amazing. She did some serious face painting.

Sage is some scary Halloween guy.

McKenna is a pirate this year for Halloween.

And Aspen is a "Scary" witch.

They took the kids through the store to trick or treat. Instead of junk and candy, they got healthy treats. Apples, organic crackers, organic juice and milk boxes, natural cheese and yogurt sticks, etc... It was awesome.

Zildy sat down while the kids were decorating their pumpkins. She started having contractions that were really hurting. Sure enough she was in labor and went home and called and had the baby. It was really exciting. I'm glad I was able to spend the day with her before the baby came. We went to lunch and took the kids to this party. It was a great day with her. Thanks Zildy.

Aspens Preschool Program

Aspen really impressed Nate and I with how well she knew every song. She put in all her own actions as well.

I'm so happy my friend Zildy and I got our daughters in the same school. Its been nice for the girls and for us to trade driving.

Cornbellys

We went to Cornbellys with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, Raegan, and the Snow family. It was so much fun for the kids. Nate really wanted to do the corn maze. It was really funny, Nate and Matt kept tackling each other and trowing corn at everyone. Then it got the kids all wound up and everyone started hiding from each other in the corn. So we never really used the maze how it was intended, but it was still so much fun. I'm so happy I have a husband that makes the little things so fun and enjoyable. It was fun to see Tasha and Matt and their kids. We don't get to see them to often. We celebrated Mat ts birthday with a cake Lorna brought. The kids thought it was pretty cool to eat cake at Cornbellys.

The kids had so much fun together. They kept running from one thing to the other as fast as they could.

McKenna, Aspen, Raegan

Nate and Sage really wanted to be princesses.

Aspen was in LOVE with the pumpkin princess.

Canning

My sister Laurie came into town for two weeks. We decided to be productive and accomplish something instead of just gabbing. My sister Jen and I wanted to learn to can. So we took a trip up to my grandmas to see if she had any jars. It was like Christmas. She had a TON. She gave us each more than we needed. She also gave me my own food dehydrator, pressure cooker, and the thing that seals the jars. It was awesome. Our whole goal was to can Brigham City peaches. But that turned into canning homemade salsa and peach raspberry jam. It was awesome. I felt very domestic and Nate was super impressed. It was a few of the funnest days, laughing and spending time with my sisters.

We had so much fun being silly and talking. My sister Jen and I talked about how we felt something so good while we canned. That is one time I almost always feel the spirit is when I cook. I don't cook as much as I should, but when I do I always get a very overwhelming feeling. Like there is nothing better I could be doing at that moment than doing something wonderful to take care of my family.

Look at all the peaches I got to take home!
