Halloween Fun!!!

This month has seemed to fly by for me! I spent the last week at my parents house, babysitting for them while they went to Mexico. While Anya and I were there, we kept ourselves busy by making "Princess Fairy" or "Sugar Plum Fairy" costumes for the girls to wear for Halloween. We also painted and carved pumpkins. After I got home, we carved pumpkins at my house for family home evening. I was the "gutter/carver", Anya was the "colorer", and Jess was the "etcher/carver". I did the bat and moon while Jess did the "Gorda and Boots" (requested by Anya). I think they turned out pretty nice. Also, we found out this week that we are 99.9% sure we are having a boy. Our little Hugh is scheduled to arrive on the 19th. We are way excited to meet him!

Snow-Miss & Hee-Haw Farms!!!


Last week we got just enough snow to build a "Snow-Miss." I was so excited! I bundled Anya up to go bulid her first snowman. Let's just say, I was way more into it than her! She apparently takes after her Grandma Huntsman and does not like the cold. She would rather look out the window and say, "Hi, Snow-Miss, Hi." As you can see, she has found a new place to play...under the sink in my make-up. She calls it "tickle." Why? Because it tickles when you put it on. We went down to Provo this weekend to spend some time with the family. We went to "Hee-Haw Farms" with Matt and Stef. It was so much fun! They had a petting zoo which Anya absoultely hated!!!! She pretended she liked the animals and talked to them in this high voice and said, "Hi, pigs." But, as soon as she got near them, she started to scream. She liked the hay-ride and would not sit down, but insisted on standing and trying to hold her balance. The swings were her favorite, and every time she would spin by us, she was just giggling. Then, we each picked our own pumpkins from the patch to take home and carve (something I have always wanted to do and never have until now). We finished it off by going through the corn maze. As you can see, by the end she was completely zonked. She wore herself right out! After the farm we went out to eat with Uncle Jay. Sunday morning we got up and drove to Logan for Beck's blessing. It was fun weekend and we are glad we got to see everyone!
