Boys and Girls of Every Age, Wouldn't You Like to See Something Strange

Parties and more parties, you can never have enough fun! We had liked getting into the Halloween Spirit this year. It was our first Halloween together so it was fun to buy all the decorations and set everything up. We had a couple friends get together on Halloween so we had to make the house look nice!
Will and his date, Nate and Katie, Joe and Julie, Casey,Andrea and Jocelyn, Kyle and I, and Whitney and Eric all came to play. We played games like...
Eating doughnuts on a string. (I don't think one girl won)
And Bobbing for Apples.
Kyle and I were Nerds for the night but for the Alvey family Halloween Party he had to come up with the most perfect costume. What would work better then being the Newly Weds like we already are? It was really fun idea. You can't tell all the details to our costume but for those of you that want to know what a Newly Wed looks like, here is an idea...
Besides dressing up and watching scary movies for Halloween, every year we try to make it to the Big Red Barn for a hayride to the Pumpkin Patch. It has been a tradition in my family for quite a few years. We will go and pick out the best pumpkin and then when we come back Grandma has a wonderful dinner made and fresh Apple Cider Doughnuts from the Barn. We all look forward to it every year. I wish that I would have remembered to take pictures but I slacked off a little this year. I did manage to take one picture of Mandi, Kyle and I in the Corn Maze at Cornbelly's. We didn't get lost for too long but what do you expect when everybody cuts through the corn to the end?

Moab

Kyle and his family love to try to make a trip to Moab, UT every year. I have gone the last couple years with them while Kyle was on his mission. It is always fun but needless to say that I loved having Kyle with me this time. This year we got to hike to the Delicate Arch. I didn't know that it was so big. I think that everybody should visit it at least one time.
We stopped at the Hole in the Rock. Doesn't this jeep make you feel like you are in Bedrock?

Kyle was helping Kayden feed the sheep. I thought it was so cute.

Of course you have to find time to go biking. Anytime Kyle gets to spend time on a bike is a good time. I am impressed with how good he really is. He scares me a lot but that doesn't seem to change anything so I best get used to it.
