Halloweeeeeeen!

We love all of the fun events around Halloween in our little town!
On the 27th the Grace Elementary had their annual Halloween Carnival and Baked potato dinner - the kids love getting dressed up to go to the carnival. -Laexin hit the Jackpot at the Soda ring toss and won 28 cans of soda...It was a fun night!









They even had a LIVE fishing pond...which means we came home with 2 trout :/




Then on Sunday the 30th we had our Halloween dinner since I knew Halloween night would be busy - we had Meatball mummies, Spiderweb dip with chips, Candy corn fruit cups and Swamp juice.  The kids loved it!





Halloween landed on a Monday --I'm Laexins room mom so I helped with the school party








 Halloween night we went to our favorite Halloween party house and had chili and got lots of treats then did a little trick-or-treating around town.



***I can hardly believe it, but this Halloween weekend marks 1 year since we've been back in Grace - on one hand we still really yearn for Washington and on the other hand we are so content and happy to be here in Grace!

Fish Farm

 There's a fish farm here in Grace and LeGrand home teaches the people who run it.  We were delivering treats one Sunday and they asked us if we wanted to go check out the fish - of course the kids were so excited.  The farm is situated in the black canyon and it is beautiful!
The kids loved feeding the fish!






 Laexin thought it was awesome to get to catch one of the bigger fish!


Abby's Baptism and a Youth Temple Trip


We were so lucky to be a part of the baptism of our sweet friend Abby!  This girl is so Amazing - I've loved watching her get so excited about the gospel.  She loves YW's and we love having her - she was so ready to be baptized and was so excited about her first trip to the temple.






 A week after her baptism Abby joined us on our Youth temple trip to the Oquirrh mountain temple.  It was a beautiful day and awesome experience.  I love working with the youth in our ward - I feel like it's the best job in the church.  We have such amazing, strong, faithful youth and had an awesome time on our trip!
