On a greeting

I tried to post the day after Halloween. I wanted todos (everybody) to watch a video. It didn't work. I think the video was to large. I'll have to figure out how a different way to do it. Let's see, what happened in October??? Oh! John's boys and girls Cross country teams qualified for the State Championship! The boys have qualified ever since John took over the program, but this was the first year they girls qualify in close to 20 years. Both teams did great-John was super pleased with their results. 

Life has been  busy. We moved (again) and are still trying to unpack and get settled, but it's proven to be a challenge. Our vida (life) is just so crazy right now-work, kids, school, moving/unpacking. A veces (sometimes) it feels like it's to much for me to handle, but once I get thinking about it, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our neighborhood is super nice. We love our neighbors and all of the kids on our street. This is especially exciting for Olivia, she has already made some great friends already! We are also trying something new-we've decided to attend our home ward instead of a Spanish branch/ward. The ward is great-really great, I love it already- but I miss hearing the gospel in Spanish, and I especially miss singing in Spanish. Olivia miss it too, she told us the other day: "I think we should go to our Spanish church because I don't know the songs in English." We asked her what she did in primary when she didn't know the words, she replied "I sing in Spanish." However, I'm happy with the decision we've made.

So without further delay, here are some pics from October:

So, the last post I mentioned was going to be about Halloween (we hope you all had a good one!). Since I couldn't get the video up, here are a few pics. Before I post the fotos (pictures), let me tell you about our Halloween. IT. WAS. AWESOME. We decided to stay in our neighborhood this year. On our old street, we maybe had 5 kids come by all night-at the very most. This year, we were super excited to see what the night would bring. Our vecinos (neighbors) told us about how awesome it was, and they were right! Haunted Houses for kids to go through, freshly baked scones, sugar cookies with cider and not to mention all of the candy. I told my neighbor that I felt kind of bad for just giving out ducles (candy). We had a blast taking Olivia trick or treating-we can't wait for next year. Here are a few pics:

Our Pumpkins: John had started his pumpkin-it was going to be really cool-Mike Wazoski from Monsters Inc. However, Mikey didn't survive. Maybe we'll get him next year! Olivia's, Lucas' and Choco's pumpkins were too small for the pattern, so I had to freehand the pattern. It was hard! But, here are the finished results:

• Mine: Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead Skull)

• Olivia's:

Lucas':

Choco's (It's supposed to be a paw print, but I cut where I shouldn't have so it sagged a bit):

That's it for now. Hope you all are doing great. Hope to post again soon!
