Halloween!!

 Wyatt with his trick or treating stash.

Here are a couple of photos from Halloween.  I will have to add some more.  Wyatt was the dark knight Batman this year.  I didn't get a photo of him just in his costume.  He was in his thermals that he wore under his costume really quickly because he got warm quickly after trick or treating.  We had quite a busy day.  We went to Wyatt's parade at school, I was in charge of Wyatt's class party at school, plus trick or treating.  For Wyatt's classroom party they had 2 crafts they did (a picture they colored and made a spider web out of  a black plate, yarn and a bug), they decorated sugar cookies, listened to stories, and played 2 games.  I think they all had a good time.  I was able to take Wyatt trick or treating this year.  It was a lot of fun.  I came up with a costume at the last minute.  I dressed up in Doug's high school graduating gown and used Wyatt's cap that he wore for his Kindergarten graduation.  It was hilarious.  I got a few funny comments about it like you're just graduating or professor, etc.  It was a hoot.  Doug stayed home an maned the trick or treater's at our house.  Usually we run out of candy but this year was a bit slower for some reason and we had candy left over which is unusual.  It ended up being pretty decent weather wise for trick or treating as well.

Kaylie's Birthday Party!!

For my niece's 1st birthday my sister Kelleen had a costume party because my niece's birthday is so close to Halloween.  It was really fun.  Everyone dressed up in a costume.  They had relay races, candid photos, and the kids were able to go trick or treating to some of the dorms.  They had a blast with that.  It was really fun.

Reflections Contest!!

Every year with Wyatt's school they have a program called Reflections.  It is a contest the kids in the school are able to participate in.  They are able to do artwork, 3D art, musical numbers, photography, etc.  Wyatt entered a picture this year.  The theme was Believe, Dream, Inspire and they had to base their work off of one of those categories.  Wyatt drew a picture and said that he dreamed that it was his back yard.  He had drawn a picture of Nana Page's back yard with a dear in it, a swing set, an apple tree, etc.  Each student that entered received some sort of prize.  Wyatt got a T-shirt, some coupons to Chick-fil-a and a gift certificate to get an Italian ice.  We took a picture of all of the students, the principal and PTA president as well.  There were some students who won medals or a grand prize.  But we thought it was pretty neat that all the students got an award of some sort.  We are proud of Wyatt for entering a picture.  He loves doing artwork.

Lynlee's Birthday Party!!

For my niece's birthday party my sister had a gymnastic bus come to their home.  On the inside of the bus they have all sorts of gymnastic type equipment that the kids got to play on.  They all had a ball.  Wyatt loved swinging on the rope.

Sunset!!

Here is one of the beautiful sunsets we have had out by us.  Just love the view!!

Cornbelly's!!

A couple of weekends ago we went to Cornbelly's.  It was really fun.  We went through a small and huge corn maze, Doug and Wyatt went on a small tractor pulled ride, we went through a hay maze, Wyatt and Doug had a duck race, we all went on a larger tractor type ride, Wyatt jumped on a huge pillow thing that is like a huge trampoline, etc. Wyatt did an activity where he got a bag that had sand and fossils in it.  He was able to dump the bag in a wash pan, wash away the sand and get the fossils out.  He loved all of it.  It was a fun activity for all of us.  It takes up a good chunk of the day because there is so much to do.

Fun Day Out!!

On a weekend towards the beginning of October we went out to do some fun activities.  We went to Thanksgiving Point to see a Pumpkin weigh in and do some activities there, then we went down to a ice cream place in Orem that was celebrating it's 10th anniversary.  We had some yummy frozen custard ice cream cones, had some games, and Wyatt had his face painted.  It was fun to get out for a bit.
