Happy Halloween!!!

This Halloween was a blast for us! We had a fun F.H.E. with the Prince's the Monday before "All Hallows Eve". Angie talked about letting the light of Christ shine through us like a pumpkin, and then we carved them out.

I designed the face and Cory carved it out. Lil' kept saying "yucky" when she'd help pull out the pumpkin seeds. It was so cute!

Of the 5 halloween costume parties we were invited to, Cory had to miss three of them because of work. My friend Niki called to see if I was going to go to one of them and I said no because Cory couldn't be there. She suggested that I just go with her & Nate and my reply was "As what the second wife and third wheel?"...Well, as it turns out that's just what I did. Another friend, Katie, couldn't find a sitter and her husband didn't really want to go, so she became the 3rd wife. We had so much fun and even won the vote for the best costume.

We loved going to the Taylor's on Halloween for a soup & bread dinner before the kiddos went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. The cousins had a great time seeing eachother dressed up in their costumes. It was too difficult getting a picture of everyone, because the kids were a little TOO excited! As for us Ipson's, my Aunt Teresa took a quick snapshot for us. If you can't tell our theme was Lil' Red Riding Hood - complete with Granny & the Big Bad Wolf. Ready to go trick-or-treating. The older kids took off, so Big Bad Wolf Cory & Matador Paul took Lil' Red & Pooh bear Syrelle to just a few houses down the street. We had a great time until we heard about a boy in Paul's ward who got hit by a car on the highway. He's 14 years old and it hit him at 45 mph. It was really scary because he had to be lifeflighted to the Flagstaff Medical Center. To date he is doing relatively well - a couple broken bones, a bruised lung, and fractured back, but doctors are concerned about his neurological status. But considering the fact that he's still living is good news.
