Primary Program

Our Primary Program was October 30. I am the chorister and it's always  big relief when that particular Sunday is over. The kids did great. One of the Primary counselors promised the kids Pie Face that day, and Chloe got to participate.

Halloween Costumes

Time for the Halloween array. I'm learning that kids have to have a costume for school and a costume for home because of different rules at different schools. So, here are the kids in various costumes. Phoebe as Clark Kent, Ryker as a pumpkin, Kory as himself, Chloe as a nerd, Morgan as a zebra, Caleb as the Haunted Mask, and Chloe as Zombie Prom Queen.

It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time

Okay. Lots of random catch up to do here. Kory and I have missed going to cross-country meets since, for the first time in forever, there are no Kunz kids running cross country. Luckily, I got to see a teeny bit of Ainsley's race in Idaho Falls...she had already finished running, but still.  Morgan has been losing roughly a tooth per night, keeping the tooth fairy VERY busy. Now she can legitimately sing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."  When she's not dropping teeth right and left, she dutifully works on her story. I don't know much about it, but it involves bullying.  Caleb just turned the big thirteen. Hard to believe. Photos below although I'm REALLY wishing I hadn't given him the blue raspberry push pop prior to all the pics.  Saturday we did our pumpkin carving. We watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow while we carved.

Red Barn

We had to make our annual trip to the pumpkin patch to get the good pumpkins, ride the train, and run through the straw maze. Even the older kids who have "outgrown" it, like to go.

Conference Weekend and More

We had some gorgeous fall nights right before conference, so we took the little ones to a fun corn maze in Blackfoot. They had bouncy house toys for the kids, slides, hayrides, a pumpkin patch, food, and three corn mazes. We were there for three hours and the kids loved it. Mexican Corn They were giving away some free pumpkins so we each got a small one on our way out. Saturday and Sunday were conference. We had our usual Toaster Strudel on Sunday morning. We found out last week that Austin and Leah are having a girl in March. We are excited for another grandkid (number 3) and they are looking at/making offers on  houses and may be moving in soon. Right now they are living with Leah's parents and they both work at Leah's parents' business, Leisure Time--they sell stoves, hot tubs, etc. Austin has school on MWF, so he carpools to Rexburg with Kory and I. They were looking for an apartment to rent, but rents were way higher than a house paym...
