October- Family, Football and Fall Fun

Some highlights from this Fall... Family time with grandparents and cousins...

All my sisters and some of the granddaughters got together for frozen yogurt and visiting while the guys were at priesthood session. It was a fun treat to have girl time.

Football: Steve is coaching at a new school this year, Woods Cross. They've made it through the first round of playoffs. We'll see how they fare on Friday against Timp View.

Fall Fun: Steph and Alex had some quality sibling time when they made some Halloween cupcakes. The next day (after having worked a night shift), I woke up to find 4 cupcakes sitting on the family room floor with the frosting licked off. Hmmm... wonder who could possibly be the culprit?

I am now working with the Young Women (teenage girls) at church and took Alex along for our Halloween party. (Let the record show that I am a devout 49'ers fan, but for the sake of coming up with a last minute costume, Alex and I got decked out in the vast supply of Steelers gear, thanks to Steve.) I have tried to familiarize Alex with the term "Young Women" so that he'll understand what I'm talking about when I am going to an activity, etc. I think he's still a little confused as the other day he said, "Remember when we went to the Halloween party at the church with the Old Ladies?"

 

Halloween was a success, with a fun party at school and trick or treating in record breaking warm temperatures. Steph made this cool skeleton shirt, and I was quite pleased that I put together Alex's costume for $2.99.

He was very much "in character" as we were taking pictures.

With this mustache I can't help if wonder if this is a glimpse into what Alex will look like when he grows up. Let's just hope that he's not sporting a big hoop earring when that day comes!
