Update
We have had a few changes in our lives recently. Jamey came back from Arizona the last week of October. We found an apartment and moved to Pueblo. Finally, I started working at Target. Jamey is getting to live his dream as a stay-at-home dad. I don't think it's all he expected! Addison is really excited to spend everyday with her dad, and she loves our new place. We started in a new ward on Sunday, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. We know quite a few people, but for the 1st time in 5 months, I had to go to Relief Society instead of Young Women. I have to admit that I got a little sad. I loved our old ward and my calling. It will take some time to get adjusted!

Halloween
Our Halloween this year was jam-packed with activities. On Friday, we took Addy trick-or-treating at my dad's office. She loved running from office to office gathering up candy, and everyone loved her little kangaroo costume. She filled up her bucket in about 10 minutes.
Next, we took her to the nursing home where my mom works for a costume parade and contest. Last year, she won 1st place in her bumble bee costume, so everyone was excited to see her this year. This year, she won 2nd place. I was pretty happy because the little boy who won was way more excited about the whole thing that she was. They gave her a huge bag of candy and a trophy.
Friday night, we carved and painted pumpkins. Addy wanted Elmo and a pig, so I carved Elmo for her and we painted a pig together. She loved her little piggy and oinked everytime she walked past it.
On Saturday, it was time for the church trunk-or-treat activity. We had a big chili/soup cook-off and ate a little too much food. Then, we headed out to decorate the truck. Jamey went all out with a black light, fog machine, scary pumpkin man, and cob webs. All of the kids loved it. I took Addy around the parking lot a few times and she raked in more candy than we know what to do with. We had a great time!

Hmmm.... I think I'll take two
Okay, where's the candy...
She was really good at picking the candy she likes.
Making sure it's all still there.
