Our cheer squad and Paws the mascot!
The seniors last game cheering for football!
A Victory!
My 3 best friends on the cheer squad :)
But the main highlights of our past weeks were our lovely Halloween festivities! First off, my parents went to a ward Halloween party for the adults. My mom hates dressing up, mostly because she doesn't like coming up with a costume idea. But my dad was thrilled to be "creative". His two choices of costumes were either a) nerds or b) farmers. Well, his natural farmer/gardener instincts took over and that is what they ended up being! Here are some pictures...to my mom's excitement. ;)
Next, were some of my fun Halloween activities! I went to Frightmares on a date with some friends and had a blast! I also carved an "Incredibles" pumpkin with a bunch of friends from High School Musical. I hadn't carved a pumkpin for a long, long time so oddly enough, it was pretty fun to dip my hand into the pumpkin guts and feel the slimy seeds and insides slither through my fingers! Well, as fun as that can be! :) Finally, my cheer squad had a pep assembly against our rival team Mountain Crest and the theme was "Bury the 'Stangs". So we were able to base the whole pep rally on Halloween. I choreographed a dance to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and we had a blast performing it! Here are a few pictures of my Halloween excitement!
And last but not least, cute Aaron and Jared have been participating in all the Halloween excitement as well. They are loving all of the football games from high school level to NFL. Sweet Aaron's favorite college team is the Texas Longhorns, who as of Friday night were ranked #1. Unfortunately, last night they lost to rival Texas Tech in a heated battle. Aaron was so sad! He was literally moping around the house thinking that all was lost. Both boys get very involved! These two boys are football fanatics. Or maybe a better way to say that is sports fanatics in general. Anyways, this year they both dressed up for Halloween. Jared was a vampire (for the 3rd time in a row) but he chooses to be that so we figure, hey why not?! Aaron chose to be a nerd this year...much to my delight! I am always the one who has to play the part of a "nerd" in skits, pep rallys, etc. so I was thrilled to see Aaron choose this costume! He looks great :) Here are a few pictures...
This Halloween season has come to an end and it is now time to look forward to Thanksgiving! This season is definitely my favorite season! Between all of the festivities, beautiful fall colors, yummy foods and much more, I feel so blessed to live where I do and with the family that I have. I'm sure most people would argue the same thing, but I have the best family ever! No question :) Oh, a little side note about our missionary Matt! He is doing wonderful and we look forward to his letters every week. He just got his first few baptisms this last week and we are so happy for these new members! He especially is excited because now they get to enjoy the wonderful blessings that we have enjoyed our whole lives. How lucky we are to have the gospel as a staple in life. Anyways, I will try to keep this blog updated and I'm still in the process of teaching my mom how to do a little blogging! :) Until next time, buenos dias!
