We missed out on the county fair,which from what we hear is quite the experience. So we crashed my friends neighborhood fall festival. Thats close enought right? The highlight was the pony riding. Rylie and Abby decided that they were to good for the ponies. (not sure if that is just their age or the fact that they have been spoiled with my mom's horses)
Sydney did not follow her sisters lead, she thought it was GREAT!
Eli was not quite sure.
For Activity Days we were invited to come as a family and given pumpkins to decorate. I didn't want to be left unprepared, so I found a picture of the bat and black cat pumpkins This is our version. I debated on whether I was stunting their creativity by copying. It was still their work, and they were pretty proud.
He loves these slippers!
I thought he would play with them,
but he didn't take them off for days
Des was able to come for a week, with no kids. It was a pretty layed back week. The first day she was here we didn't even get dressed, it was GREAT! The second day we did make plans and got all the way to loading in the car, only to have it not start. The crazy thing is that the same thing happened when she came to visit in Colorado. (The security chip in the key blitzed)
The girls were at school, so only pics with Mr. Eli at Pullen Park.
We rode on the carousel, the small train and
Eli rode the in the little wooden boats.
Her trip to see us was over before I knew it. I have to thank Jason, his mom
and my mom for making it possible. That has been the hardest part of
our move, visits are going to be few and far between.
I made the mistake of waiting until the day before Halloween to buy pumpkins The stores were wiped clean! Aaron was able to find a few small pumpkins at a store near his office. They were small enough that carving them was not really an option. So we painted the silhouettes instead of carving.
We went to the ward fall festival and they had a photo booth set up.
Better pictures than was able to get on Halloween night!
I had to throw in this picture of my friends little Raggity-Anne.
(my inspiration for Pippy Long Stockings hair)
I love it!
We were invited to go trick or treating with some friends.
WOW!! We were not prepared for how serious they take
their Trick or Treating! They had bags to dump their full bags into
so we could keep going. It was CRAZY!

Your new pictures of the kids on the blog heading are GREAT!!
Love the update. Your October looks fabulous, and those costumes are FAB.
Pipi is the best.
(:
Did you really let them get bags (plural) of candy?
Love the Halloween costumes! Also the new fam photo at the top is super. You do such great photos! So nice that desi got to visit. Your girls are looking so grown up especially Riley! So nice to see what's new. Eli is looking pretty grownup as well..I guess that is bound to happen!
I miss you guys a ton already!
That is one fun October! And you got to see Des!?! How great is that!?
The costumes are really fun. I LOVED Pipi Longstockings when I was growing up (a million years ago). You got the hair down great.
Wish you could see Jaron's son Jayden. He and Eli have some very similar looks. Both Handsome boys.
Life in the wilds of the East seems to be full of fun.
