There were USU Football Games...

Lydia did hers @ YW's and Jadyn painted "the boot" for North Logan Youth Council.




Lydia and Jadyn had a guest choreographer @ dance



We took some family pictures at the end of our street that will work just fine for our Christmas cards this year!
Thanks Parker (Keaton's brother) for snapping them for us, he didn't feel qualified but did great!








We carved pumpkins...




and had our 2nd annual Halloween Dinner




There was Halloween...

We had a Hawaiian girl



Grandpa Shark




I got to meet up and take Princess Anna through Lee's.
Gosh she's adorable.




Plus she never gets any attention...







Lydia went trick or treating with friends



And came home with quite the haul!!



Kenna and her friends went to USU's "howl"... looking like far too cute of aliens...


October was great and is always one of my favorite months of the year!

Mexico Cruise October 2022

In October Shane and I spent fun week on Carnival's Panarama visiting Cabo, Puerto Vallarta & Mazatlan with the Astle's & Carlsen's.

Thanks Jady for making our movie!!


Our first full sea day we celebrated Joe's Birthday...
and EVERYBODY knew who Joe was by the end of the day!

Happy Birthday Joe!





Our first stop was Puerto Vallarta and we had an amazing excursion called "Outdoor Adventure" through Vallarta Adventures.

It was crazy and super adventurous!!













The rocks were slippery...


ask Lisa!
















It was quite the day and would rank as PROBABLY our number 1 excursion of all time!
Mainly because there were just so many different things packed into it.
I'd definitely do it again!




We played a couple rounds of  Bingo and Deal or no Deal...


which led to small prizes of free play $ in the Casino.


I came out $92 ahead on my quarter slots... so I call that a win!


Our next port was Mazatlan.
The guys went golfing.. and the girls stayed on the ship.

And this is all the guys have to show for their expensive golf day hahaha



We sat in the sun, it was a hot one!



Our last port was a quick stop in Cabo.
Thanks to Lisa who found us an awesome massage place called the "SandBar".
What can beat an hour massage for $36???

Best massage I've ever had!



Fresh cut mangos on the beach also can't be beat.










All in all a pretty great week.
Gosh I'm grateful for good friends... honestly what would I do without my girl Lisa???

And extra grateful that my girls are self-sufficient and run the house just as well without me here as when I'm here. haha

(Looking forward to being back in Mexico this next week with the whole family on the Disney Wonder! YAY!!!!!)
