Halloween and Things

This was Abigail's first year to do Trick or Treating (or actually, Trunk or Treating). She just loved her flower costume. She was a little apprehensive when it was time to walk up to people and ask for candy. After her she received her first piece of candy she wanted to stop and eat it. When we approached the second person she tried to give her first piece to that guy (maybe she wanted to trade for something better?). By the fifth person she started to get the hang of it. We had a good time seeing how creative people are (which we really aren't).

Here's our little flower:
And our sleeping flower: (The ward had a chili cookoff afterwards and I had volunteered to set up before the activities started. While I was helping out, Abby was running around. We even went to the commisary afterwards which she slept through. She didn't wake up until we got home.)


Today was such a beautiful day that we decided to take Sarah's bike for a spin. Here's my biker chick on her ride:


WATCH OUT DARYL!! Wild woman coming through!:


Abby was fussing that her mother was riding around and that she wasn't. I put her on the bike and we rode around the lawn and then down the driveway. She LOVED it. I guess tomorrow we're shopping for a helmet for her.


To everyone out there; Sarah did great. We're just practicing some basic riding skills until the weather turns cold. This spring Sarah is taking the Motorcycle Safety course that is offered through the Army. Once she takes the course then she can go get her permit and start getting ready for her license.
Does anyone have a sidecar for sale??

Where did you find that costume?! She is way too cute! I'm surprised that she doesn't already have a helmet though... And the dogs too for that matter! :) Sarah is look'n good, but there's something missing... I think she needs a little more leather... ;)

LOVE your "little flower" Most children when they first start Trick-or-Treating aren't quite sure about the whole thing until...that first piece of candy hits their hand and yes, they want every piece right then!

Sarah, have a ball on your bike! Love the yard, you guys have a great home!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE ANGEL!
GRAMMIE LOVES YOU!
