October in a Nutshell

To start autumn off right we headed up the Alpine Loop
for some beautiful scenery.

Love these boys!

Friday was the annual Halloween parade at school.
Alex was a Mad Scientist while
D was Harry Potter.



Apparently the older grades don't parade,
but I caught a picture of E in the hall watching the parade.
Sally made his amazing costume in 1 day!!!
Thank you so much!
It was a hit!

After a week of crazy snow and wind,
yesterday turned out to be a gorgeous day.
We started off with E's semifinal
football game which they lost :(
E played great though
and definitely did some damage on the offensive line.

Then it was off to Alex's championship game.
His goal all season was to play defense.
This was quite the goal as it was
his first year playing football
and there were no substitutions on defense...
until yesterday!
Alex not only played left tackle on defense,
but he played the ENTIRE game.
He even had 2 fumble recoveries.
Way to go!
His team lost to the undefeated Alpine team
and took 2nd place.



After football it was time to get ready for
our annual Halloween party.
Jeana, Eric, and Dane made a surprise
visit from California!
Yeah, we were so happy they came!!!
Yummy soup was eaten and then off
to trick-or-treat and a visit to the Haunted Creek.

We're so glad everyone could come.
Thank you very much!
