A Whole Slew of Fun Times

 Grandma and Papa were kind enough to help us out and got us tickets for the Saturday afternoon session of conference.  Mia, Libbie, Mallory, and I were able to go.  We missed Claire, but I'm sure she'll be 8 before we know it.  This was all the girls' first time even going in the conference center so it was quite exciting.  We had fun watching all the apostles come in to take their seats, seeing who could say their name the fastest. I'm impressed with our girls and their desire to really recognize and know these great men. 

 Ready to head inside. 

 We got there pretty early so by the time the actual meeting started, some of us were already a little wiggly.  This was my second time to be at conference in person.  It's such a great experience to be in the presence of the prophet. 

 Tyce is growing like a weed.  One of my favorite baby milestones is when they start grabbing their toes!  So darling.  This baby is such a happy one.  Feeling very blessed to call him ours.

 His hair was becoming so long, and falling out so rapidly, I had to bite the bullet and shave it off.  It  made me sad to see his soft curls go, but he's still so cute I can't stand it.

 Jake and Hannah invited us for a spooky dinner to kick off the Halloween festivities.  We had mummy dogs, bloody fingers, bone bread sticks, caterpillars, ghost bananas, pumpkin barf, and much more disgusting/cute food. 

 PUMPKIN CARVING...always fun/a chore/messy.  The kids love getting creative and I love that they're getting better and carving and cleaning them out all by themselves.

 Here's the whole fam on Halloween night.  Grandma Jill was nice enough to take a photo for us and to keep me company while I passed out candy.  Nathan and the kids went trick-or-treating with the White family...a fun tradition.  I was wondering if they were ever going to come home.  And they did, with a disgusting amount of candy.  They had so much fun though.  Claire's is Tinkerbell, Mia's a peacock, Mallory is a Hawaiian girl, Jaren is Sonic, and Libbie is a jellyfish.  Libbie wasn't quite sure if she was too old to dress up and trick-or-treat so she took Jaren around for a bit and then brought him home after he was tired.  What a nice sister, plus she got a pretty good candy stash.

Jaren and Daddy spending some quality time together...getting Dad's hair done and taking a snooze.
