Halloween

Oma pulled it off again this year! They decided to be DC Comics characters. They all love Halloween so much. We were able to attend the Ritz, the church party, and go trick-or-treating. Kyler and Damon went off with friends while the younger kids went door-to-door with us along with Rafe and Drake. They all had a great time! It's really nice to live in a place like this on Halloween. Our kids were really safe and had a blast!

Red Ribbon Week

 The week of or leading up to Halloween is always super crazy, and the Elementary always adds Red Ribbon Week on top of it all.  Here are some photos from the school that week, because I forgot to take them before they left home.

Taylor's Wedding in Montana

About 10 days after we got home from Egypt, I flew to Montana for my brother Taylor's wedding to Shai.  It was a quick trip, but I'm glad I was able to meet Shai and be there for Taylor.  The weather was gorgeous and the ceremony and reception were so so nice.  Taylor seemed really happy even though the day was a bit overwhelming for him.  It was good to catch up with everyone else too!  
So many cute and simple, but thoughtful details were included in the reception.  I was impressed!
All 7 siblings together!  It doesn't happen very often!

Logan took turns dancing with all the girls, but watching him dance with Grammie was the best. She was a great sport!

She learned all kinds of new things and dance moves!
