2016: October - Skeletons, Balloon Attacks, and Bear Lake

October is always eventful for us. Here are a few highlights from the month of spooks and goblins:

This cute little gremlin keeps getting bigger. We sure love him. He also started smiling and giggling.

Eric earned his Webelos rank and his Arrow of Light. Way to go, Eric!

We also added a ghoul to the family. Mom and Dad call him Skuduggery Bonaparte. The kids insist his name is "Skelly." He doesn't say much, either way.


Robert had a birthday as well. On that day, he was attacked by a band of marauding balloons. 
Oh, the humanity!

Grammy came to the birthday party. She and Beth sure had a special relationship. I think Grammy sensed how much Beth loved having another girl around the house. As for te photobombing foot, we're not sure whose that is.

For his birthday, Robert got a cool disguise. Hey, stranger, have you seen Robert?

Here's the birthday boy with his "cake." Robert actually isn't a big fan of traditional cake and ice cream. He prefers a doughnut cake. Hey, it's his day. He can have what he wants.

Our family made a trip to Bear Lake that month. And from there we visited Great-Grandma Clines.

We also visited the Star Valley Temple open house.


Here we are in Bear Lake. This bull statue is right next to the restaurant we always stop at to enjoy some delicious Bear Lake shakes. Yum!

Um . . . with some pictures, the less you know, the better. Let's just say we're very happy to still have Robert with us.

Here is our crew for Halloween.

Beth and Eri went all-out putting together our trunk or treat.

And Robert lost his first tooth that night!

Here the kids are on the big night. You can see Bonaparte wants to go with them. Maybe next year.
