Tis the season of spooky! My CRU started texting creepy things we saw as we were out and about. I had to snap a pic of this house in Springville after dropping Zeke to a friends.
I opt for a cheery spooky!
I took Adren in for his pre-mission check-up. As I walked behind him, I thought of the many times I have brought him to this pediatricians office. Lugging him in his car seat and stroller. All the check-ups and shots, worry when he had AFM etc. I wondered if this is one of the last times me and Adren go to the pediatricians office? He turned right when I snapped a sneaky pic.
I told my Stake President I would rather have an intimidate training dinner instead of the big stake general training with everyone we usually do. I'm grateful he could see the value in spending an evening with the presidents, discussing specific topics that are near and dear to them, and getting input from the other presidents. The evening turned out so nice. All nine presidents were able to attend and we had a wonderful discussion. I had the dinner catered and it was so delicious. I am so grateful for my wonderful presidency that were totally onboard and so helpful on this night.
Another event I was a part of was the big Give Hope Gala at ACHF. It was being held at the Goddard's residence- it's just what we called it. The Goddard's have a massive house and built it so that they could host such things. They are donors and are real nice people! This Gala is to thank all of the many donors and it is fancy-pants. My dear friend Diana (who is also a donor) volunteered to do the flowers for the event. I volunteered to help her, because it is a massive job! One of my girls, Madelyn was in charge of the night, so it was great to help her as well. We went up one day to check out the place and talk table placement, where the caterers will set up, where people will enter and where the entertainment will be etc. The next time was the day before, so we had to pick up the floral order, (go to lunch) then head up to work. We spent a solid 8 hours putting together arrangements! It was fun to work together and learn from her expertise!

I had a stake meeting scheduled that night that I probably could have gotten out of to attend the Gala, but I really didn't want to. I heard it was fabulous though!
The boys looked so cute testing out different makeup looks for their costumes.
Mommy and Daddy sent me this to wish me a Happy Halloween. So cute!
I helped Eli with his vampire makeup for his dance.
On Halloween day we had an office meeting so we decided to all wear costumes. Erin made a darling spooky charcuterie to share, we all brought treats.
Meredith and daughter Janessa dressed up as Loreli and Rory and I thought they were so clever!
(Some) of our ACHF crew!
And Maelle and I as the two kitties.
I spotted this creepy scene in our neighborhood on my way home!
Then I helped Eli straighten his hair. It was fun to see it look so different.
Then I spiked it!

This picture made me chuckle. I texted it to my sisters. "Just hangin' out."
The kids are in full costume, ready to go out...
I thought Paisley's makeup was so festive and amazing!
We didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as in years past, but still a steady stream. It was nice to just chill at home with movies and dinner.
