Well, October ended with a gust and we're officially into
November! Our Utah trip is just around the corner and we can't wait to spend Thanksgiving with our northern relations.

Love Relief Society "Super Saturday" projects! Pretty much all my decorations come from RS |
We're happy to report that costumes and parties and decorations were as fun as ever this
Halloween! Miles looked stinkin' cute in his little Robin costume (pictures don't do it justice!) and I thought it was funny when we showed up at a party dressed the exact same as my friend, her husband, and their 3 month old babe Kaden. So classic!

Miles didn't really get the concept of a "funny face" |

Robin can fly! |
Halloween night was great! We got the last of our homemade decorations up earlier that day and had lots of fun doing the candy-passing thing. There was a block party down our street and we ate dinner there. I swear,
chili is the food of the season! We went to our ward party and the block party and another get together and ate chili at every single one! Oh well, good thing there are so many different kinds! Andrew had fun sitting behind our crypt keeper in our yard and scaring kids coming up for candy. Miles and I were inside getting him some dinner and we kept hearing
screaming coming from the porch. Many kids were so afraid of the crypt keeper that they wouldn't come up for candy! I guess it looks too scary... is that even possible on Halloween? We watched
"House at the End of the Street" later and it was a well done thriller! Caution, though, some mild language. But great twist at the end. We also watched
"Brigham City" to gear up for Halloween and I thought it was great! (It took forever to find this movie online but it was recently put on YouTube)

The yard...much creepier at night |
We also did
family pictures in October! A girl was in town from Utah and is friends with my sister in law Rebecca so she did them for us. She was fabulous! If anyone is looking for a great photographer in Utah, I highly recommend her! We haven't seen the professional ones yet but I know they will be great! The location was so pretty and my mom did a great job picking the color scheme for the outfits. Here are a couple Andrew and I snapped with Miles while the pro was working with Jacob and his family.
We will make sure to get copies to family up in Utah when we get the nice ones back. Other than that, seems like October went too quickly! Hope you enjoyed the update!
