Swim practice

Since my Dad goes swimming a lot now I decided that I better practice so that I can be a good swimmer too.
Let's see, this cap and goggles seem to fit nicely.


How's this stroke Dad? Water? I don't need water, the carpet works great.

Halloween

We had our own Halloween Party. We made invitations to hand out to some friends. Those that came to the party were Logan and Savannah Pendleton, Noah and Max Jarvis. Noah and I made sugar cookies the day before so we could decorate cookies at the party. We made ghosts, moons, pumpkins, and bat shapes. Everyone came in their costumes. Noah, Max, and I were firefighters. Rubie was our dalmatian fire dog, Spot. Logan was a cowboy sheriff and Savannah was the cutest little lady bug. At the party we first made an obstacle course that the fire men had to run and complete. Along the way we had to jump, roll, crawl through a fire truck and even rescue injured people. We went on parade to our neighbors to show our costumes. The Bishops even gave us treats. We played games such as pumpkin bowling and pumpkin candy corn toss. We then decorated pumpkins with markers and other things we could glue on. And we decorated cookies. We had a lot of fun! Later that day we got to go to Daddy's office for trick-or-treating. The people there had done an amazing job decorating. Some cubicles and aisles were so scary that I didn't even care about the candy, I did not want to go in. Then we visited Grandma Jeppson's office for more trick-or-treating. After that Daddy's office was hosting a really cool party out at the Farmington Fairgrounds. They had those huge blow up toys that I could play on forever and some good food. The next day on Halloween we got to dress up again and go trick-or-treating to Uncle Andy's and Aunt Beth's. They gave us an award for having the best costumes. Then we went trick-or-treating to our neighbors and got lots of candy. After about 5 houses though I was done and just wanted to go home. Mom and Dad made me go to like two more places. I do like having the candy though.

Aunt Jessica came to visit

We were so lucky to have Aunt Jessica come and visit us for a few days. Aunt Jessica and Uncle Emmanuel live in Virginia and we don't get to see them very often. Aunt Jessica and Grandma Jeppson stopped in on their way to Toquerville to play and eat lunch with us. Then they stopped at our house again on the return trip from Toquerville to have Sunday dinner with us. Aunt Jessica was able to join us for our monthly Jeppson family FHE at Aunt Tai and Uncle Joe's house. It was a treat to have her there. The next day Jessica and Grandma Jeppson came to play with us at Cornbelly's. It sure was fun to have them there. We were glad to see Aunt Jessica and spend some time with her. Come visit us again soon!
