 Lucy with her cute friends Ruby and Alize! Her fake smile is right on these days... silly girl! We had our Halloween Ward party Saturday night and it was awesome! We had a yummy chili and cornbread dinner, the kids did a cupcake walk... and of course we Trunk r' treated! My cute friend Anna pretty much put the whole thing together all by herself at the last second, and it was awesome. and... How terrifying is Tera's costume/ make up! She looked amazing!! Kim, Jenny, Anna, Tera, Jaymie, Angie, and I Lucy mid Trunking... Tera's hubby David as Willy Wonka, and Kim's hubby Rob  Anna's hubby Alex as Bert-- Marry Poppins!  And Angie's hubby Chris rockin the Gangnam style! Hilarious...  Lucy is officially the worst picture person ever these days... I'm just hoping I can get at least one good picture of her on Halloween! Here she is with Wonder-Woman Ju-Ju! And cute Mark and Jaymie Tyler was a Lumber jack-- he felt his Obi-Wan costume...

So, technically it was my turn to host our little Food night we had last night, but really I didn't. Jaymie did. Her house- especially Kitchen is amazing for dinner parties, and ya... She is amazing. I'm really glad I have cool friends who pick up the slack for me! Love you Jaymie! There are so many amazing women who live in our ward, and in our area. I am so lucky to have found so many good friends! These ladies here don't even begin to scratch the surface of all the friendships we have made while living here in Minot.

We had so much good food!  We had homemade doughnuts, amazi...

We then headed to the most amazing pumpkin patch ever! It turns out this was the last day it was open, because the weather has been so cold the last week, and the pumpkin patch that was HUGE was actually completely sold out of pumpkins! That didn't stop us though, it was only $3 to get in and had SO much to do!  They had a fun corn maze, an obstacle course, hay slides, a nature walk with fun things to do along the way, a corn crib, 3 different type of train rides, and...  our favorite was the Zip lines! It was only $1 to go 2 times, and Lucy loved it!   I love these next photos of Lucy and Tyler. She was so excited to watch the video of her on the zip line. This girl loves her dad SO much, and Tyler is the cutest dad ever.  They had this awesome playground, and even a bab...
