Halloween 2008

This year Alexis was a Spanish Dancer and Kylie was a Fairy Butterfly. We started our night out by visiting my Grandma Boone in the nursing home. We brought with our neighbors, Erick and Alex. Erick is in 1st grade with Kylie and Alex is 3yrs old. We then went trick or treating in our neighbor hood with the boys and their mom. It was beautiful weather, very warm for October and the kids had a really great time. After they tired of walking we dropped off Dad at home and went to my parents house. The kids ran around crazy for a few minuets, stopping only for a few quick pictures. We then headed out again to hit up a few homes around my parents house. The picture of Alexis outside is from a house near my parents who go all out every year decorating their yard with a walk through cemetery. Alex was terrified but the other kids thought it was a lot of fun. We went home and the kids dumped out their candy and started making trades with each other.

Fall Parties

Today the girls had their fall parties! The kids each had a party in their classroom followed by a costume parade at school. I was one of the moms helping in Alexis' classroom this year and Joe got to come too! This year Alexis is a Senorita and Kylie is a fairy butterfly. We can't wait to go trick or treating tomorrow!

Trick or Trot

October 21, 2008

This past Tuesday the girls ran in the annual Trick or Trot for the area schools. Everyone met at the Jr High school track where the girls ran with their classes. The track is a quarter mile and they ran around it twice. The winner received a turkey and I think second place was apple cider.

Kylie's class went first and let's just say Kylie did not come in last. She did however walk to the finish line waving to some people in the stands while she held hands with a friend.

Alexis beat out a few more class mates than her sister and had a good time running. They both had a lot of fun and we were all thankful that it was much warmer this year!

The Howells

Families are like fudge... mostly sweet with a few nuts.

Welcome to our Blog! I thought it would be nice for our relatives who dont live as close as we would like to be a part of our lives through the magic of the internet. My goal is to keep the page updated with all the things going on in our lives. Thanks for reading!
