tonight at family prayers, Alexa prayed "that grandme wont get the dizzies" It was cute!!!

Sunday: Alexa's Favorite Day!

On Sunday, Alexa had to give a talk in primary. This is the first time she has ever done anything like this. She is getting so big. She helped me write the talk and she did a lot of it on her own. She did such a good job. It was so cute. Later that night we decide to film her doing it so everyone could see. (No she didn't wear her pajamas to church!)

After church Alexa was singing a song that they have been practicing for the primary program next week. The song that goes "Onward, every onward.." she kept singing it with the wrong words, "Awkward, Aint it Awkward..." She is so funny.

The Fairy Godmother!

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a lot of fun the past few days. Thursday night we went to the trunk or treat at my mom's church. All of our cousins came and went trick or treating with us. No one could tell what I was. I have to get more pictures from my sister of us in our costumes because I forgot my camera. Alexa looked so cute and kept telling me how everyone thought she was so beautiful. Everyone did stop us and say how cute she looked. These pictures don't do it justice. Her wig was so funny. Her grandma sent it to her and she was so excited to wear it.
Friday I went with my cousin to go visit family and some old friends with the kids in their costumes. I now know how candy really does change the way a kid acts. I thought that it might just be one of those old wives tale that they get so hyper off candy, but the kids were so wild and just running around people's houses that we stopped at. It was all worth it though. We had a fun weekend!!!

First Time Voter!

I went yesterday to vote early. This was my first time voting. Last presidential election I didn't get registered right in Utah. I was pretty excited to get to vote. As I was standing in line, there was a boy in front of me who looked realy young. He went up to the booth to sign in and they asked him if he was a first time voter. Of course he was and everyone started clapping and cheered for him. I was excited to be a first time voer, so I was waiting for my cheer. I got to the front of the line. They asked me to show them my ID and then gave me my card to go vote. They didn't even ask. I was kind of depressed that they didn't think I looked young enough to be a first time voter. Oh well.

Pumpkin Art!!!

This past weekend we had a friend from Utah come down and visit. Alexa was so excited to see her. She came with us to Alexa's gymnastics and soccer and then we went to Walmart and got stuff to carve pumpkins. We got a little too adventurous and decided to do some complicated designs. Alexa really wanted a Cinderella pumpkin, so we gave it a try. I was actually pretty impressed with myself and my pumpkin. It turned out better than I thought it would. Alexa loved it. It looked really cool in the dark with the candle lit. It already got all shrivelled up and doesn't look like Cinderella any more.

My cousin's little girl came over while we were doing pumpkins and after we were done with the knives, they got to paint their own pmpkins. They were so proud!

Homecoming Date!

This past week was homecoming week at Centennial. We have been pretty busy helping the freshmen with their decorating and float. It was fun to get to go to the football game with my family, but it is weird being on the other side of things. Alexa got to go on the float as a lion because their theme was animal planet. She had so much fun and thought she was pretty hot stuff. Her gymnastics teacher (Will's sister) is a cheerleader there and Alexa was screaming her name and go bulldogs the whole game. She was so cute.

Last night was the dance. I got to go for a few hours to chaperon. My good friend and Alexa came with me. When we were walking in a student said, "oh how cute that girl brought her little sister as her date." Yeah I guess Alexa was my date, but she is not my little sister. We all laughed, but then the best comment came when we went to go get the free family picture for staff members. We walk up and Alexa and I go stand in front of the backdrop and my friend just stood off to the side. The photographer asked if the other mom wanted to get in the picture too. What is this world coming to that they would even ask that.
