Halloween X4

Happy Halloween!  Memphis and Kayzee have LOVED Halloween this year.  They got to wear their costumes to 4 different Halloween parties/trick or treating.  We have way too much candy and I didn't have to buy any this year to pass out for trick-or-treating.  I just used all the candy we got so saving money and not having as much candy in the house to eat is a win-win for me!

1-Ward trunk-or-treat
Last Saturday we went to our ward's Halloween dinner and trunk-or-treat.  They found some guy in Lehi that makes pirate ships and dresses up like Jack Sparrow and the kids got to play on the ship.  Very cool…

 Some guy in our ward made this costume.  We didn't think it looked very comfortable walking around on stilts hunched over like that all night but most of the kids thought it was awesome.  He was kinda creepy because he would sneak up on you and just stand there staring.  It terrified Kayzee so bad she would scream.  And that night she was up every hour screaming.  Needless to say I didn't get any sleep that night…not cool.

 We had Little Ceasers pizza and yummy chilis and soups for dinner.  Then we all made a huge circle with our cars and did some trunk or treating and staying warm by the fire pits.  My kids were so polite saying thank you.  They got a lot of compliments for that because a lot of kids don't say it anymore.  I have polite kids and I love them.

Here we all are ready for the ward party.  Danny does not like Halloween at all so he never dresses up. Party pooper!

2-Halloween Carnival

Yesterday the young women in our ward put on a Halloween Carnival for all the primary kids.  It was basically an hour of free babysitting for us parents but Kayzee would not let me leave.  I had fun anyways.  The young women were a lot of fun and they had some fun carnival games.  

3-School trick-or-treating

The kids went to day care today at their Lone Peak High School Day Care and they got to go trick-or-treating to all the high school classrooms.  They had so much fun and they literally came home with two huge buckets full of candy!  I had fun watching my elementary school's costume parade.  There are some creative costumes out there!

Here are Memphis and Kayzee all ready for school today…

4-Neighborhood trick-or-treating

Tonight we are continuing our Halloween tradition of Little Ceasers pizza for dinner and then we are going to take the kids around our neighborhood for some trick-or-treating.  Then it's bedtime for the kids and Danny and I are planning on just relaxing and watching a movie.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2013 EVERYONE!

Our Families

What a fun first few weeks of October we have had.  We got to see both Danny's family and my family!

First we had Danny's family come to our house on Oct 4 for his Dad's birthday.  The men went golfing and the women went shopping.  Then we had a party.  I also found out that I am going to be an aunt again.  Danny's brother Teddy and his wife are expecting their first baby!  So exciting!  The next day we all headed up to Salt Lake to Liberty Park for the State Tennis Tournament.  Danny's sisters Emily and Mary were competing.  They did AMAZING!!!  I am so proud of my Royer family and the talents they have.  I hope my kids get some of that:)

The next week my Mom and brother drove down from Washington and my sister Alicia flew in from California.  It was my fall break so we had fun shopping and eating out at yummy restaurants.  We also had our Bear Lake Condo time share this weekend so off we went for a few days.  My cousin just had her 4th baby in September so to give her a weekend of rest we took her two oldest boys with us.  They are friends with Memphis and Kayzee so it worked out great so they could all play together.  My cousin's mom (my aunt) met us at the condo and so did my grandma and grandpa.   What a fun time we had.  The weather was perfect.  Too cold to swim in the lake but luckily the pools were heated so we had fun swimming!  The best part...NO CROWDS!  

We also did a lot of miniature golfing.  It was cleaned up for the winter but we brought our own clubs and balls and still had fun competing.  Memphis won for the most holes in one!  Seriously he made like 10.  AMAZING!  Kayzee had fun playing with Daddy.  

Game 1: Danny and I TIED! If you ask Danny he actually won;)

Game 2: My brother Chris won

Game 3: We paired up and played best ball.  My sister and I WON!

Game 4: My sister Alicia won

We all left Sunday.  My mom and brother left for Washington and my sister headed back home with us.  Monday I had a PE professional development day all day and the day care was closed so my sister Alicia stayed to play with the kids all day.  They had so much fun!  That night we drove her to the airport and the whole way home Kayzee just sobbed, "I want Auntie Sheesha!!!!"  It's so hard when our families live so far away:(

We LOVE our families!!!  Thanks for coming to visit!
