Trunk-or-treat!


This was a pretty fun week for us here in Florida. Last night was trunk-or-treat at the church. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's the best way to trick or treat. Everyone parks at the church and decorates their trunk and hands out candy. It is so much better than walking around all the neighborhoods. Adella dressed up as a kitty, and Kayla was a little fairy.

They had so much fun. It looked like it was going to rain the whole time we were there. It kind of sprinkled, then stopped. Then it rained for a couple minutes and stopped. Then suddenly it started pouring! It was a mad rush to get everything back in the van. We all ended up pretty wet, but it was still fun. Adella is so excited to have gotten so much candy.

Katie has been wanting to get something that we can use for exercising at home. We thought about getting a treadmill, but they take up so much room, and they aren't cheap (even used). Walmart had a little trampoline that we ended up getting. Adella keeps calling it her trampoline. She has a lot of fun on it.

So, my parents are supposed to be coming to visit us today. They are up in North Carolina at Corey and Lu's house. Wyatt is getting baptised today, so they went for that. Their plan was to hopefully fly down here tonight and spend Monday with us. Dad has to go back Tuesday for work, but mom might be able to stay until Wednesday.

Well, since they are flying standby you never know what will happen. The flight they wanted is oversold. That means that they might be able to make it to Miami tonight at about midnight. If that isn't going to work, they won't be able to be here until tomorrow at about noon. That kind of stinks because they won't be here for that long. We are probably going to take them to the beach. It has been rainy the past several days, but they say it's supposed to be nice and only get up to about 80 degrees. I'll take some pictures and put them up next week.

Kayla had a doctor's appointment this week. She is healthy. She weighs 17lb, 10oz. That is normal for her age. Her height was the average for a 10 month old baby (She is 8 months). They didn't tell us her actual height. She had to get three shots. We missed her 6 month check up. She has been in such a good mood since then. We aren't really sure why, but we're going to see if we can just give her a shot every couple days to keep her happy.
One last thing (I think). Katie's brother, Brian, got home from his mission yesterday! We are so bummed that we couldn't be there. He has been in Germany for the past two years. Adella knows he is her uncle, but doesn't remember him. Kayla has no clue, but that's to be expected :). We only have to wait another seven weeks to see him, and everyone else!
Yep, that was the last thing I can think of. See ya next week!
