Thanksgiving 2011
It was a St. George year for us this Thanksgiving. The weather was beautiful. Our little indians, Luke and Halle, had a great time down there as usual. Both Luke and Halle had an indian feather hat Cory's cousin made of them, but Luke refused to where his for more than 2 minutes, so I wasn't able to get a picture of him in it!

Dad's creepy mustache
Daddy grew his beard out for no shave November and when he finally shaved it he left the mustache for a few hours just for fun. Too funny/creepy not to remember :).

First snow fall
We had our first big snowfall and the kids couldn't wait to play in it. So we got them all bundled up and ready to go. Halle had lots of fun trudging around and mostly eating the snow. Luke also had fun trudging around making footprints.
He has been talking about making a snow angel for a long time and was very excited he was able to do that.
Daddy went outside with them and started making a snowman. But the kiddos got tired and cold, and didn't last too long. So good old Daddy stayed out there and finished up the snowman himself.
The kids had been inside, changed into their jammies and warmed up with me for awhile by the time Daddy was done. But he still wanted them to come out to take the picture with him of our first snowman of the year.

Halloween 2011
Here are Luke and Halle in their firefighter outfits all ready to go trick or treating.
Yes, this year the kids matched. But I didn't force them to or anything. They both love firefighters and both wanted to be them. Actually, originally I only bought the firefighter costume for Luke. He loves firefighters and when we saw it he wanted it right away. But when we got it home Halle was very disappointed that she didn't have one also, so we had to pick her one up too. It was actually really fun and cute to have them dress up the same.
We had a really fun Halloween. Halloween was on a Monday this year, so Cory's work did a trick or treat at the office on Friday instead. So we went downtown to Goldman's offices and did the trick or treat on Friday afternoon which the kids loved.
Then, Monday we went and did the trick or treat at Azteca (my work) but the kids know it as Grandpa Sheldon's work because he works there too but he actually has an office and sits at his desk and passes out candy, so it makes more sense to them when I said we were going trick or treating at Grandpa's work.
Then, later that night I made chili and scones and my mom and dad came over to hung out. They also brought Satish and Manju and their little girl Powni. They are a family that recently moved here from India and my dad works with Satish and was basically the reason he was brought over here. So we've been getting together with them here and there.
We went trick or treating and of course the kids loved it. It was a pretty nice night. Not too cold. About halfway through the lower part of our neighborhood, all the sudden Halle layed flat down on the cement. Poor girl was tired! It was really funny to turn back and see her just laying there.
The kids had a blast and can't keep talking about Halloween, and of course, trick or treating. Luke is already planning on what we'll be next year. He says he wants our whole family to be ghosts. We will see!

Luke's first fieldtrip
Luke had his first fieldtrip the other day, it was to a corn maze and pumpkin patch in Provo. Grandma Lori tended Halle while I took Luke on this field trip. We had lots of fun having a "Mommy and Lukey day" as Luke calls it. 
Carving pumpkins!
The kids have had a great time getting ready for Halloween this year between the decorating and all the fun activities we've done and places we've gone. Luke is at a really fun age where he totally gets everything to do with holidays and is so eager for them to come and to do any activities we have planned. It's been really fun to see Halle get into Halloween this year. It's really her first holiday that she has been old enough to really get it and get into it. She follows whatever Luke says so when he gets excited about carving pumpkins, of course she is too! It's a lot of fun to have them and their excitement for life. They keep our life fun and entertaining!

Go Cougars!
We went to our first BYU game as a family last Saturday. We figured we'd last till about halftime, which is when we did! Luke and Halle loved doing the cougar fight song and cheering. Luke kept his attention a lot longer than Halle, I ended up having to resort to using the phone for entertainment for her.
Luke had a great time at the game. Not only that but he loved seeing the firetruck on the way out. At halftime when we were leaving Luke said, "I just love football games, can we come back tomorrow?"
