The Rest of the Rest of October :P

So after attending our new ward at 9 am (ugh, that was hard, church used to be at 12:30) we got a call from Merrick and Priscilla that they were going through Tucson and wanted to stop by! :) Priscilla picked up some adorable dresses and a jacket for Rebekah - now we don't need to get her a Holiday dress this year. And the jacket - it's a furry one, white with black spots. (Don't worry, the fur is too thick to be a dalmation's!) They also brought Rebekah her very own REAL toy cell phone (as opposed to a broken/not working cell phone that mom and dad gave her, lol), and a beach ball. Merrick also picked out an adorable dress with pink poodles on it (it's an inside joke w/ Daryn) and a bunny costume as seen here:



Very cute! :) Thanks Merrick and Priscilla!

On Thursday Oct 29 - Brittany's Birthday, BTW - Daryn made me this DELICIOUS breakfast, just because I said I wanted a hot breakfast. I was expecting the eggs, that was it!

I have to point out that I ate a small piece of bacon before taking this picture, or it would have been picture perfect! It certainly was delicious!

Then on Friday the 30, I skipped soccer to go to our new ward's Halloween party! It was great fun and we had fun costumes. :) Rebekah even enjoyed playing some of the little 'carnival' games to earn tickets and win little prizes. Trunk or Treat was good, too, and Rebekah enjoyed it. It was also a good test run for us to decide if we were going to take her out the next night.





Saturday, Halloween! We went to Arjay and Maggie's house. Arjay is Daryn's friend from school. He is also Candice's brother. Candice is married to Clay, who used to be in Millenium with me years ago. Clay's sister is Tania (sp?), and her husband is Lashley. Arjay and Maggie have a daughter, Allie, who just turned 1, and Tania and Lashley have a daughter, Sadie, who is around 18 months. So, we had 3 cute little girls go out for their first time trick-or-treating together. Arjay's neighborhood is very nice, and we took the girls up and down just one street. Sadie was really shy and didn't like it much, and Allie was okay with it, but not excited. Rebekah, though, was VERY excited and LOVED going up to everyone and getting candy. She was ADORABLE and said please and thank you almost every time.

At one house, the man giving out candy let the girls reach into the bowl themselves. Rebekah took a piece out, dropped it in Sadie's bag, took another out, dropped it in Allie's bag, and THEN grabbed some for herself, and then went back for more. :P Smart girl!




We had a great time at Arjay's and really appreciated the invite! :)

And THAT, my friends and family, was our October. Phew! Now I have a little over a week of November to write about, but it'll have to wait because I have some MAJOR assignment due in the next week or two.
