The Updike's

Pizza, witches brew (juice) and a drive by trick-or-treating at Grandma Crossley's house. Storm trooper, Master Chief, Genie, Flapper girl vampire Boston and Crew were super excited to go trick-or-treating with some of the boys in our neighborhood.  Big kids!   Lily and her friend, Haley, went out on their own also. A quick visit to see Great Grandad and Grandma Jordan.  She even gave out her own Halloween candy to the kiddos.

Oh Presley!  She is in a "alarious"  (her word for hilarious) stage of life.  She is a ball of energy and she just says the most funny stuff.   Date night eating her grilled cheese from In and Out.  Her request! My date night conversation with Presley: Me: How is your testimony of Jesus Christ?" Presley:  "Kind of good - I just hate having hard times."  When I asked her what was hard, she said, "making sure I follow all of the class expectations in kindergarten class is sometimes a little hard.  But I always try so hard to do my best." Presley and I printed to be Santa's elves as we got our family Christmas cards ready!  I was Chrissy the Elf and she was Elfie the Elf!  Ha!  I love her cute imagination! I was watching Grant and Abby's kids a couple of days ago and Presley said: "Mom, you're good at watching kids!"  "It's like I'm a mom!" - She was so excited to put Kai's pants on after I changed his diaper. ...
