Halloween Everything! Plus Grandparent Fun!

I love how excited the kids get to help decorate for Halloween!  Halloween Everything!







Our amazing friend, Diana, is the best!  Her office was throwing out a bunch of halloween stuff when they moved office buildings - so she took them and let my kids go crazy decorating her house.  They absolutely loved it!


They especially loved the fog machine!

Introducing "Princess Elena!" This little chickadee was SO excited to be in her beloved costume.  
We were thrilled to have Grandpa and Grandma Updike come for a visit around Halloween!

Ward Parade




My work friend, Kamar, brought her mom and daughter to our ward party.  I was grateful for my in-laws for keeping them company despite a language barrier.  (Her mom speaks very little English).  It was fun to have them.

Crew's Preschool Halloween Party











It was a fun Halloween ... Lily got to go trick-or-treating with her friends, the boys went with dad around the neighborhood, and I got to snuggle with a sick Presley at home and hand out candy.  Happy Halloween 2017!

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
