Halloween

For Halloween Abby and Rebecca dressed up as lambs. It took Rebecca about 3 days to make the costumes, gluing all those cotton balls on the T-shirts but we think it was worth it. Abby on the other hand loved Halloween. She loved going out with her friends in the ward, and loved the concept of going house to house to get candy. Abby has never had candy until this Halloween and she soon learned that we have been depriving her of goodness all this time. She even learned how to say pumpkin and every time she sees a pumpkin she thinks she is going to get candy.

Abby even loved it when the trick or treaters came to our door. Abby would grab her plastic pumpkin and squeal running to the door to greet them. She was afraid of some of the costumes, especially ones with masks on, but for the most part she loved every second of it.

The Walk Around (Homecoming)

Every year, Oklahoma State campus brings in about 70,000 people to enjoy the tradition of its famous walk around. Basically the walk around is the Greek housing putting up stationary floats in front of their houses and everyone will walk around (hence the name) and look at them. Of course there are tons of venders, a mini carnival, games, and live bands performing in the street. It is seriously a big thing here at Stillwater. And this year we have much to be proud of since our football team has gone 10-0 for the first time in OSU history. Hopefully they can continue their winning streak, beat OU in the bedlam games, and head off to the Championship bowl game, to beat LSU! I cannot wait to see those tigers get spanked like a four year old at K-Mart.

The past few months...

I have been meaning to update our blog for the last few months, but I have never gotten around to it. We have a had a great last few months.

Starting off in the end of June. We moved to new place here in Stillwater. We have finally said goodbye to apartment living and have not missed it since. We moved to a three bedroom, two bathroom duplex. It is so nice, and we love all the space. We especially love that it has a garage and a yard. Abigail has particularly loved the yard. If she had her choice, we would be outside all day long.

In July we able to spend time with the Monson's and the Keller's. Jon's parents came to visit us for the 4th of July holiday. We always love having them come visit. We had so much fun. Jon was adamant that we watch fireworks on the 4th, so we found a a show in Edmond, Oklahoma and boy are we glad we went. Despite the fact that it was 105 degrees at 10:00 in the evening and we were melting, it was the best firework show I have ever seen. Seriously. It was the closest I have ever been to fireworks. At some points I even thought they were going to fall on us. I do not think Abby cared for them too much but she didn't seem to be afraid of them either.

Later in the month we drove to Utah for the first official Keller Reunion. Everyone was there except for Amanda who is on her mission and Jake who was at my aunt and uncle's for cherry harvest. Abigail was able to meet her cousins on the Keller side for the first time. For the reunion we went camping in the Uintas. It was such a beautiful place and we were lucky enough to find a campsite right by a lake. Even though it rained in the evening it really was a fun time. We went on hikes, rafted on the lake, played games and just hung out. Abigail loved it. I think it was the first time in her life that she actually got to get really dirty. It was fun having everyone together. These days it is getting harder and harder for that to happen. We seem to be spreading out all over the country and it will only get worse in the next few years.
