She does it again....

E1 had her second swim meet this week.
Our puny team only had 17 swimmers this meet.
We swam against Pleasant Grove who had 53 swimmers and Canyon View with their 37 swimmers.
Each swimmer can swim two individual events and two relays. Despite the large group of competitors E1 took first in the 100 Freestyle and first in the 100 breast-stroke. She broke her own school record again with a time of 1:19.12. What a girl!

Happy Halloween!

What a great Halloween! It was a fun week for our family.
On Wednesday we enjoyed watching N in his first Halloween parade at Ashman Elementary. He was pretty excited to be part of it all. I love this community and the great things planned for the kids.


On the same day our ward had a pre-Halloween party. I knew it was a bad idea to let the kids wear their costumes to it and boy was I right as N ended up dumping his entire chili-cheese potato down the front of his white mummy costume....!

After the ward party we were guests at the Crowther's house for their annual pumpkin carving extravaganza. The Crowthers are the only people I know who are crazy enough to have large groups of people over to carve pumpkins. They are awesome friends. They just spread out tarps and hand out knives and say go for it. It was a lot of fun. E2 did stab herself but at least she was not wearing her costume when she did it.....



Friday was Halloween. We had our yearly picture taken by Clark Knight and then the kids hit the streets in pursuit of candy. They hauled home quite the load. E1 went to a Halloween party. Darren had trick-or-treat supervision duties, while I got to stay home and pass out candy. This is one of my favorite parts about Halloween. The weather was so gorgeous this year. It really was a perfect day.
