Happy Halloween!

It's hard to believe Halloween is over and it's already November! Even more strange is the fact that Alaina is 10 months old...only 2 more months until she's a year! Really, where has the time gone? 

For Halloween, we went to Rob's sister's house and had a party with the family. It was great fun. Here's our costumes....

A very sweet, cute, and unscary spider (the only spider I don't scream, run and freak out from)

A very scary Mommy and Daddy 

I included this one of Rob, his sister Kristy, and me because for how pure and wholesome and good Rob is, he pulled off his goth thing a little too well! He looks just like the devil!

This was Alaina's cousin's costume. So, that's what she would look like with hair...

A couple of weeks ago, we had a Halloween dinner with Rob's family. It's tradition to pull out all the decorative stops and to find new recipes for a creepy menu. We started a few years ago because we thought it would be fun for the kids. I think all the adults enjoy it more now than the kids.

Now for an update on Alaina. She started crawling on Halloween and as all you moms out there know, that changes A LOT of things! She also cut her first tooth. She says "ba ba" for bottle. She holds her own bottle. All this in the past week. Wow! I feel like if I blink, I might miss something. Here's a few pictures of her from the past month.

We went up to the Utah State-BYU game at the beginning of October. My mom watched Alaina for us at our cabin in Paradise (that's the name of the town, no joke), then we all spent the weekend together listening to General Conference and hanging out. My uncle has a dairy farm up there and we took Alaina to see the baby calves. I don't think she knew what to think.

And finally, here's our little visitor, a porcupine. That was my first time ever seeing one in real life.
