Halloween is upon us

This past weekend we enjoyed a lot of fun activities. We participated in the Hillcrest 1st Ward 1st Annual Elder's Quorum Chili Cookoff. Aaron made a fantastic Chili that he worked on for many weeks. Unfortunately he did not win, however it was tasty and definitely has some heat to it. The boy's had fun with donut on a string and painting some pumpkins at the activity as well.



On Saturday Adan practiced for the primary program in the morning. In the afternoon the youth of the ward put on a carnival for the kids. It was well planned, well attended and different from what we are usually use to. In Mississippi we usually have a trunk or treat. Mateo really enjoyed the candy walk and Adan could not get enough of the pumpkin bowling.






We came home and then got ready for the football game. We played Fresno State. It was a pretty good game however I think the kids were extra worn out so we did not last the whole 4th quarter which meant we missed when the game got really good.



Sunday Adan did really well in the Primary Program. He said is part nice and clearly. He actually got quite a few compliments on how well he spoke. We also enjoyed a sugar filled linger longer that included sugar cookies and ice cream. Yum!

Monday we got invited to one of Adan's classmates Halloween parties. The kids enjoyed be outside in the warm weather we are experiencing. They decorated cookies, some wooden figures and played lots. A mom brought a really creative treat that I am going to have to try. She carved an orange and put fruit in it. It was a hit for the kids.




Today we are just enjoying the warm weather again. We are busy getting ready for Adan's birthday, taking treats to school tomorrow for his birthday (since we are leaving tomorrow), packing for Idaho and Halloween of course. Here is a cute picture Adan made at school today. We hope everyone has a Happy Halloween. We look forward to being with family this weekend and the upcoming election!
