Sorry for the lack of posting. It has been a pretty busy month and I am a bit behind on pictures and such.
To do a little bit of catching up, we got through finals week YAY!!! Mike is now working on getting his Thesis out of the way so he can enjoy his break. So the kids and I are currently staying with my parents so this goal can be accomplished. It has been a fun stay but we are all looking forward to going home and spending some time with dad. We are all so excited for Christmas and cant believe it will be hear in a couple days. I want to thank those that have been looking out for Mike and making sure that he is fed and has company while I have been away.
We hope all of you are enjoying the holidays. It is the best time of year and it sure does come and go quickly so soak up everything you can:)
Merry Christmas!!

THE FIRE STATION!

Quinton's preschool class took a field trip to the fire station a few weeks ago. They were able to see how the firemen live and what they do while on the job. Each fireman has there own room to sleep, a kitchen to prepare there meals, and nice comfy recliners to relax in while waiting for a call. Quinton thought the best part was getting to see the 3 different fire trucks they have at the station. Each having its own name, which I do not remember.

SOCCER = FUN & TROPHIES

In the midst of all the Halloween fun, Quinton also had his last soccer game. Mike and I were unable to attend this game so my mom came down to take him (Thanks Mom!) Mike had an Awards Banquet for a Civil Engineering Scholorship! Way to go Babe! :)

Quinton did really well playing and enjoying his last game and at the end all of the kids recieved there very own trophy. Congratulations on finishing your first soccer season bud!

HALLOWEEN WEEK

The week of Halloween was full of fun this year. It started with an annual East Village Halloween party where the kids were able to decorate cookies, a candy bag and play with friends. Quinton was sick that day so he wasnt feeling totally like himself, but insisted that he must attend. The kids were dressed up as Spiderman & UTAH cheerleader this year. They both looked great!

On Wednesday we went to our wards Halloween Trunk-or-Treat. It was fun but a bit on the chilly side. After the trunk or treating we had a nice dinner and then fun games for the kids. Quinton dressed up as Venom the evil spiderman. In case your wondering, his costume is reversible which I found our after I purchased the costume and luckily it came in rather handy.

On Saturday we went trick or treating in the afternoon with a group of friends and their kids at "Officers Hollow" in Fort Douglas. Each house that you went to had a different theme. The kids were able to go inside most of the houses and participate in coloring or other activities. Quinton didnt really seem to like it much, why we arent sure.

Later on that evening, Mike went with some other guys to the UTAH football game and the kids and I joined the wives for a potluck dinner. After dinner we took the kids trick or treating around the neighborhood. We all had a great time and thankfully the weather was great!
