Visitors

We haven't had visitors for a while now and then we got 2 in one week! First my long time friend Sara came to stay! She was only here for a day but we had fun just catching up and spending time together! I felt bad cause my whole family was sick so poor Sara had to deal with that and go to the ghetto urgent care with me but its all about the memories! We went to Disneyland for a few hours though and rode Pirates of the Caribbean we had a good time! Next my brother Martin and his wife Chelsea came! They were here from Sunday until today! They bought 2 day Disneyland passes so they did that Monday and Tuesday! Then Wednesday we went to Huntington Beach and rented a bike which was hilarious! Grace loved it too! Then that night I got a babysitter (thanks Erin) and we went mini golfing and out to eat! Not to brag but I beat everyone at mini golf by at least 10 strokes and I got 4 hole in ones I think so I was happy! Anyways I'm glad we got to see them all...thanks for coming guys we love you! We are always wanting visitors so come on down!

Halloween 10k

On Halloween morning my friends and I went to Playa Del Mar and ran in a 10k race! It was such a fun race, right along the ocean! I finished in a time of 50 min. 45 sec and I won first place in my age category!! It was awesome...I even got a Gold Medal to prove it! My mother in law signed all of us up for a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving so we're getting excited for that..can't wait!

i was a little embarrassed to have to stand on the pedestal but it was fun

Disneyland, My Newest Hobby, and the End of Halloween

Here are the pictures of Grace Trick or Treating! I decided to jump on the sewing bandwagon down here so my mom bought me a new machine for Christmas and I've already almost completed my first project...pictures to come! Royce had the weekend off between quarters so we were able to go to Disneyland for a couple hours and Grace loved it!

More Halloween

Last night was our ward Trunk or Treat! We got all decked out and when we showed up there was like no adults dressed up so we were like we're so awesome but thankfully more people showed up dressed up! It was lots of fun!! We had soup and a chili cook-off, dancing, and of course trunk or treating! We have so much candy right now and we're going for more tonight!!

Trick or Treating Round 1

So today was the SCCO Trick or Treating so all the students get to go show off their cute kids all dressed up! This year as you can see Grace dressed as a cave girl or pebbles either way! She loved putting it on she just kept looking in the mirror and giggling! She walked around the whole school saying hi to everyone it was too cute! I love this age they are so fun! We have 2 more rounds of trick or treating coming up so lots more pictures to come!!

Grace's First Haircut

So after months and months of an out of control mullet I decided it was time to give Grace her first haircut! I of coarse had to keep her still by giving her m&m's, which ended up all over her, but she did well! I cut off an inch or so and it still resembles a mullet a little but I think it turned out quite cute!!

before....yikes!!!

after...not bad if i do say so myself

so much for her bath
