Grammy's Halloween party!!!

Trick or Treat!!  Getting ready to PARTY!!

 Even though the numbers have dwindled as the grandchildren have gotten older...Grammy still throws her annual Halloween party for the grandkids :)  And it's a good thing because my kids LOVE it!!  I am so lucky that she loves to make memories like this with them. 

And it's a good thing that Grampy is around to help at these parties now :)  Especially this one, because they had it be a sleep over party!!  It might have been a good thing, because they were able to split up all the fun activities into two days!

The searched for their pumpkins outside and then came in and decorated them.  She always has fun sticker faces and other cute things for them to decorate with.

They decorated bags to put all their loot in!

ate cupcakes and decorated a few too :)

Then their favorite part of the party...Grammy tells the BEST Halloween and ghost stories.  She has all the cute posters and pictures for them.  They love to sing the Halloween songs too!

Hopefully they went to bed good with all the excitement and sugar :)

Thanksgiving Point fun

We enjoyed a day with some friends at Thanksgiving point.  There is always so much to do at the museum(s) that we never have enough time to see everything and do everything in one day.

We were supposed to have unlimited pony rides, but since we waited 30 minutes in the line for one ride we decided one and done!

 Glad they escaped the jaws of the scary shark!

 Lots of time was spend digging for dinosaur bones.

 Then playing in the water and building dams for the dinosaurs....

 I can't remember why, but somehow they got a piece of chalk on the way out.  So we drew self portraits :)  It was a day packed full of fun!

Girly girls

Mackenzie's favorite past time :)

She loves to paint her nails and do her makeup.  The days her friends come over to play they usually end up doing each other's nails.  She cracks me up!

The FUN run

 Mackenzie and I volunteered at Cameron's school Fun Run fundraiser.  Last year when Cameron was in Kindergarten he ran 55 laps or something like that...let's see what he does this year!

 And they are off!

 Water break

 Mackenzie thought it was so fun to help give the kids water!  She had fun cheering Cameron on every time he ran past us.

 So the total he ran this year was 52 I think.  He kept going a few after they said time was up.   He loves to run! Anyway, he had fun and raised some money for his school. 

I picked up carpool after school was over and figured they all deserved a reward for their running!  We stopped and got pizza and bread sticks and had a little picnic party!!

October fun with Grammy T & Grandpa Mike

 We are always excited when we get a visit from Grammy T and Grandpa Mike!!    I still can't believe Grammy T was ok to leave warm Florida and come to Utah in October!!  However, it was a beautiful and sunny day when we went to the pumpkin patch.

They stopped on the hayride to tell us about the corn they grew and how it was a different kind of corn just for animals....we learned something new!

Another fun activity we did when they were here was going to Corn Belly's and riding rides, playing games!

Gardner Village in October is always so fun.  We looked for all the hidden witches.  I am always a sucker when my kids ask for face paint.  I'm not sure why because it really is a waste of money, but they look cute and it makes them happy :)  I feel like I got ripped off on Cameron's though....not sure what she thought he meant when he said he wanted to be a tiger?  LOL
