Halloween Happenings

Can I just say how crazy life has been the last couple of months. I started a part time job at nights as a nurse assistant at a place in bountiful, Lance started school a couple of weeks ago at University of Phoenix which keeps him busy in the evenings, (thank heavens it is all online, very convenient) and trying to keep Alyssa who is busy as a bee entertained has me worn out.

Here are a few things we have done since the last post:

Went camping with my sister and cousin in August, Grace Frank Family Reunion 2010 which I helped with the planning, went camping with our ward at a very nice ranch in eden, celebrated 3 peoples birthdays in my family, attended a football game for my nephew kelton, and soccer games for my other nephews McCoy and Rhett.

Now that Halloween is upon us we haven't done much but here are a few things we have done:

Alyssa made halloween cookies at the babysitters. She sure loved eating them but they were sure a mess with all the frosting. Oh well you only live once right?!

Our ward had a halloween party at our church and they had some fun games for the kids and had soup and rolls for dinner. You could dress up if you wanted to so we took advantage and got alyssa all dressed up in her little fairy costume. She loved it which surprised me she would keep the wings on.

At the Haunted Fish Pond where she got a litte animal bracelet and loved, she didn't care about anything else she just wanted the prizes once she figured out how it all went.
We had a family open house that same night as our Halloween party but I didn't get any pictures there.

This past saturday my sister, cousin, aunt, mom and all the kids went to Gardner Village. It was so cute they had it all decorated for halloween and they have these witches you have to find and if you find them all you get a cookie from the bakery. Here are a couple of pictures of some of the witches we had to find.

Alyssa eating her cookie she got from the bakery there from finding all the witches,  she sure loved it

On Sunday we got together with my family and made carmel apples.  We each brought a topping and then we melted the caramel and got to put what we wanted on them.  They were DELICIOUS!  It was fun to I haven't done them in a long time. 

Alyssa is a busy bee and she never wants to stop.  So this is where she decides to take her nap- in her high chair during lunch.  So cute it cracks me up.  She has done this a couple of time now.  All tuckered out!
