All things Halloweeny

Hayden & Lila's First Pumpkins
The Beveridges came down to stay with us a few weekends before Halloween! The girls (Hayden and Lila) hadn't seen each other since July so it was fun to see them together again! They are the sweetest friends. They immediately leaned toward each other as soon as they saw each other and they enjoyed playing together (kind of) haha the best they could. Lila at this point was almost 9 months old and Hayden almost 6 months old.

We planned some fun activities for the short time they were here and it turned out to be wonderful memories! We ate pizza for dinner and let the girls taste the crust and sauce. They sure loved it! Then we stripped them down into just their diapers and let them paint a mini pumpkin!! Although they were a little too small to do this, it was really really cute and fun to see them try to touch the pumpkins!

Lila however saw me dip the paint brush in the paint and put it on the pumpkin so as I handed her the brush to paint the pumpkin she put it directly back into the paint and then back towards the pumpkin. We were all mind blown!!! She had figured it out. It was amazing!! She also managed to stick the paintbrush in her mouth too, haha! But she didn't eat too much paint so it wasn't a big deal ;)

After that fun event we gave the girls a bath and put them to sleep. After they were down, we made homemade carmel to dip apples in (apples from my grandma's tree and Bill's tree!) and watched the new Tarzan movie. It was fun!

Although it was a short stay, we made some big memories and had tons of fun together!!

Trunk or Treat

We attended our ward's trunk or treat as Rapunzel, Flynn, and the magical sunshine flower! If you haven't seen the movie Tangled then you probably won't get it. But it was sure cute and it was really simple! I went to D.I. for literally 15 minutes and found our entire costumes! Plus we used what we already had at home too so that was easy! I loved dressing us all up. And Drew didn't mind his costume this year either so that was a win for me in my book! The trunk or treat was a blast too. We got to visit with my young women presidency (who are quickly becoming my good friends). It was a fun evening and I was impressed with how everyone dressed up!

Halloween Party in Richfield/Konner's Birthday

We got to go up to Richfield for the weekend before Halloween and also to celebrate Konner's birthday. It was a super fun weekend! We dressed up again for the family Halloween party and watched as Grandma Polly become a witch for the evening! HA HA! She did the witches brew-- which she usually does-- and Lila stared in shock! But wasn't too nervous, so that was good :)

The party was a blast! We ate delicious soup (Lila ate it too) and played some fun games. Drew and I went against each other in the bubble gum blowing contest and of course I won ;) 

The next day was Konner's 14th birthday. It was on a Sunday so we attended church and got to watch him be ordained a teacher. That was really fun and neat! We headed back home to St. George later that evening after eating our favorite honey lime enchiladas that my mom makes.

Halloween Day/Evening 

The next day was Halloween. It was a pretty chill day. Lila and I went grocery shopping in the morning. Then later that evening we met up with some friends for dinner and trick-or-treating! We ate homemade Olive Garden chicken gnochi soup which was delicious! We trick-or-treated to only a few houses because let's be honest, our babies are only 9 months and 14 months old HA HA. But it was fun and got me excited for when Lila gets older! 

 It was an early night because Lila has a bedtime around 8pm but it was fun while it lasted! Oh! Also, turns out we didn't have a single trick-or-treater where we live. So unfortunately we had 2 bags of untouched candy to eat ourselves ;)

Love,
