Not much has happened over the past month. Cameron went to Missouri to visit his mom, grandma and brother for thanksgiving. I stayed here and my friend Lauren came and stayed with me which was a lot of fun. Abby made her first ginger bread house as you can see, and we decorated one of the walls in her room. It was looking pretty bare. I found that stuff at a scrape book expo, no I am not a big scrap booker but I did find some cute stuff to use for other things. And the other picture I just thought was really cute of Abby asleep on her daddy. I think I was at a swim meet that night and I came home and just had to take a picture of her like that. Daddy's little girl. Only one more swim meet this year and then I don't have one until January 17th, very exciting. Well sorry it took so long, this month will have a lot more to put on.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!! Abby had so much fun trick-or-treating. She walked to each house with her little bucket, which has become her new favorite toy, and just had a good time seeing all the other little kids and their costumes. My family all dressed up as different characters from various things, they all looked great. Cameron dressed up as his manager Bryce along with a couple other co-workers, it was pretty funny. We went to my parents house so they could see Abby in her lady bug costume. I didn't dress up because I did not know what to be and I ran out of time to look. Anyway, it was fun and we all enjoyed it.

So very busy month starting with Abby on the hay. We went to the Staheli farms which has a corn maze and other fun barn yard things such as a small petting zoo. You see the striped paints she has on and one might think, huh, that doesn't really go together, well she was petting some goats and fell in a puddle of goat pee. Disgusting I know. So my sister had a pair of paints that belong to her little boy who is nine months old, so there you have it, goat pee and all, barn yard fun. The cousins had a good time though, we left shortly after the pee incident because it was getting cold and her shoes, socks and pants were soaked in pee. Moving right along, I ran a 5K for breast cancer last weekend with my friend Laci who I also coach and work at the pool. My time was 31 minutes and 27 seconds, which I guess is not too bad for only running for two months. Next year I will do better. But we had fun, my sister Shawna and my nieces Alex and Cedar were there with Abby. Now for the fun part. Abby and I went to a Halloween party at our friends, the Lambert's house on Monday. Abby of course went in her lady bug costume and that is her friend Jack who she gets to play with twice a week while I coach. He and his parents were a pumpkin patch, very cute, they made there own costumes. But they love to play together and I am so grateful for them to watch Abby while I coach. Abby did not get upset this time when we put on her costume, I think she was excited to be back at Jack's house because before when I would put it on she would wear it for about one minutes and then she was done, but she wore it the whole time. There was a little girl about the same age as her at the party dressed as a monkey and that scared her a little bit. It was fun to see everyone in there costumes and the kids had fun. The video gives you a good idea how well they play together. Well in a couple of days there will be more Halloween pictures, so enjoy everyone.

We went to pine valley again today before it got too cold up there, we listened to conference on the way back, it was a lot of fun. The picture of Brian is with his girlfriend in case some of you have been wondering what she looks like. She is beautiful and nice and we love her. She spent the weekend down here again with us and we all had a good time, well I am sure Brian had the best time but we still enjoy seeing her when she comes. Shawna will be here tomorrow with Cedar, which is great to be able to see them again even though it is not under the best circumstances. But our family will be fine and we will be there for eachother. Well that is all I have for now but you can expect some more in the coming weeks with all the family being here.

Abby loves to play in her tubs, she puts all her toys in them and sits on them, then she will take everything out and put them back in another tub and then sit on it. She can do this for about an hour or so before she has to move on to something else. Well everything is good here, we are ready for fall, Abby is going to be a lady bug for Halloween so that should be fun. I have decided to coach again for a third season because I am crazy and can't remember enough of how much I could not stand it at the end last season, plus the head coach really needs me to and they are offering more money so that might have clouded my judgment a little. Anyway, all is well here and we plan on going to California in October and November so that will be fun. Next time I will try not to take so long between posts.
