October 2010

October is over - I can't believe it! As with every month, it went fast and we stayed busy:)


Football officially ended at the end of October. LHS had a good season and went to the playoffs but lost in the first round. Braxton was disappointed but thinks they will be even better next year.

We had a fun Halloween. We did pretty simple pumpkins, McKell got this kit and decorated her pumpkin it was easy and mess-free. The best part was that it had a little balloon that she used to make her pumpkin look like it was blowing a bubble. So cute!

There was lots of stuff going on at the school during the week of Halloween. McKell was chosen to do a glitter pumpkin with our principal.

We had funky socks day and these two looked adorable, as usual.

She dressed up as a "fifties girl" for Halloween.

She walked in her very LAST Halloween parade at the school. This made me realize just how much and how fast she is growing up.


She went trick-or-treating with her fun group of friends and they hit all of their neighborhoods. By the time they hit our house they were pretty worn out. I just love these girls, they are fabulous little friends.

At the last minute, Braxton and Johnny (Braxton's friend) decided to go to a costume party. This was his last-minute homemade costume (made by me) and he said it was one of the best costumes at the party. Yay for me since McKell had told a friend earlier that morning that she was going to learn how to sew when she was a mom because her mom can't sew anything. Sad, and true. I guess she will have to rely on her grandma or one of her aunts to teach her. Braxton was "Facebook" if you can't tell. Overall, a great October and I am so excited for the holidays:)

I enjoy reading about your family. John agrees with Braxton, next year the football team should be a lot better.

I can not believe McKell has walked in her last elementary school Halloween parade. Remember serving in Primary together? She was so tiny then. Time does go too fast! Next up...boys :) And her pumpkin is sooo cute.

I can't sew either ;) I tell my self every week that I have time to learn before Ella is old enough to be taught. We'll see what happens. :) Braxton's costume was awesome, by the way.
