Halloween weekend

The Friday afternoon before Halloween was trick or treating at David's office. The boys love going and I seeing the people he works with too. This year is was super crowded and David even ran out of candy. Lucas wouldn't wear his bumble bee wings but I was really too surprised. Adam went as superman, Jacob as a clown (he loved getting his faced painted.) and Matthew went as a mad scientist. I had to take advantage of all that crazy hair. Saturday morning Jacob got to dress up again for a birthday party. On Halloween, the weather was great and everyone was out. I was a little sad I stayed at home with Lucas and handed out the candy. I wanted to be out in the streets with everyone else. But we had tons of trick or treaters. That's what happens when Utah finally has good weather to trick or treat in.

 The Saturday before Halloween David and I went to the RSL playoff game against the Seattle sounders. It was a great game and RSL won 3-0. They went on to win the playoff round and advance in the playoffs but then lost to the L.A. Galaxy. David has a friend at work that gave him these tickets. They were box seats and it was a great view and nice comfy padded leather seats. It was nice to eat dinner before hand inside our little room in the nice heat before going out to brave the weather. It was cold!

The Sunday before Halloween was the primary program. My boys did a great job with their speaking parts. Jacob even wrote his own part about his favorite Book of Mormon prophet. He chose King Benjamin.  But even more we loved watching them sing. Jacob knows every word and tries so hard to do everything perfectly. Adam sings so loud and puts all his energy into singing. We had lots of comments about our singers. David, Jacob and Adam along with 2 friends, and their dad, and another friend and his dad sang the 4th verse of Praise to the Man as part of the program. It was so powerful to see these little primary boys with their priesthood holding dads standing behind them. Everyone had on their white shirts and ties and the men had their suit jackets on and it was such a powerful picture let alone the beautiful words they were singing. I'm so grateful for my husband and what a great example he is for my boys. Grandma came to watch them too and we were grateful she was there.
