Avery had her preschool Halloween program yesterday. She did such a good job. I thought it was so funny that all of the little girls in Avery’s class were dressed as princesses, or fairies or other similar things and Avery was so proud to be Optimus Prime.
I apologize that I couldn’t get the video to load!!
Avery fell asleep with Chloe the other night. We were reading scriptures and before we realized it, she was fast asleep.
I was recently called as the first counselor in the Young Womens organization. I have four, wonderful Mia Maids and each has many amazing talents. One of them, plays volleyball for Highland High School.
Allow me to preface this by saying, I had no say in what the kids chose. I was, however, thrilled that their costumes coordinated. Allow me to introduce Bumblebee and Optimus Prime.
We decorated our pumpkins a few days after we picked them out. The kids always love choosing which character they are going to be. Although, if I remember correctly, they chose the same as last year.
We had a Halloween party over UEA weekend. The kids had lots of fun making skeletons out of macaroni (thanks, Jenna for all of your macaroni), eating and just being rambunctious!!
This is Avery’s. She said her pumpkin exploded!! She makes me giggle!!!

Avery got a haircut!!! Again, her daddy was the one to do such a fantastic job!
BEFORE
AFTER
We went to Mabey’s Pumpkin Patch to get our pumpkins. I love this now family tradition. The Mabey’s are the kindest people and I love our quick visit with them each year. Nathan got a really big pumpkin to be used to blow up with an airbag at the annual Smith Family Pumpkin Shoot!!
This month we read a wonderful book. The book honestly changed the way I look at life and serving others. I have been trying to apply the principles it teaches, and always remember that “love is a verb.”
We have decorated for Halloween and attended our first (of hopefully many) Halloween parties.
The kids LOVE the light up “villages” we have for Halloween. Nathan with his ‘super Dad strength’ gave them, and Chloe, a closer look.
Each year the company we financed our home through has a “Pumpkin Fest.” This has been the first year we have been able to attend. Nathan was still at work, so I took the kids and they had a great time.
Still so many fun Halloween things to come!!!
