A dream is a wish come true....

What a fun week we had at the Staheli household. We were able to get out an enjoy the last warm day of the year by re-painting our fence, and also enjoy the first big snow of the year by having a snowball fight! You've gotta love the Utah weather. On Monday, we had an FHE lesson on Adam and Eve and how Adam was given the job to name all of the animals on earth. We decided to take a trip to Cabelas to see some of the animals he named. Mikey is finally at the age where he really enjoys seeing animals. They were so cute!

What is a trip to Cabelas without the chance to shoot something?

Yes, that is my son putting crayons in his ears.

On Saturday, we took Gracie and the boys to see Disney on Ice. I hear all of the time how "magical" it is, but I never thought so until Saturday. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Gracie. Her eyes were as wide as quarters most of the show. When Ariel came out (her favorite) She started yelling and pointing " Mom Ariel is really here! It's really her!!" She was making my eyes water the whole time. It was so cute and well worth the moolah..

She held on to her ticket the whole show

The picture doesn't do it justice. She was mezmerized!

During the show, there was a little girl sitting next to me who had this magic wand that light up. Every time she would push the button to make it light up Gracie would just watch her. She would wisper little things to me ever time like "mom, it has Ariel on it" or "mom there is a princess crown on top" What made it special was she never once asked if she could have one. She just stared in envy at the little girl. I wispered to Chad maybe we should snag one for a christmas present. He said " she needs one for the show" So he got up to go buy her one. Right when he sat down I told Grace to look at what dad had and she ran over and gave him the biggest hug I had ever seen. I don't think she has put it down since we bought it.

The gloves... ohhh the gloves. We bought these at the dollar store on Saturday and Mike WILL NOT take them off. He loves them. If I take them off and we can't find them again he is perfectly content wearing his sisters pink ones. Like he did for church on sunday.

All Hallows Eve....

Another halloween has come and gone. Where did October go? Is it me or did that month fly by? Although I love Halloween, I'm excited to see it go. That means we are one step closer to turkey, gifts and snow. My children are getting so big I can hardly stand it. They are getting so much cuter and smarter every day! This year we spent Halloween in Kanab because my Uncle Andy Gant was put in as bishop. He is such an amazing example. I love him so much. We were so happy to be there to support him because he is always such a support to us. Spanish Fork Halloween will have to wait until next year! I didn't get very many good pictures, but I did take some.

No reason, just cuteness.

Gracie got to wear her costume to school on monday before Halloween. She, of course was a witch.

So every year Spanish Fork has a scarecrow contest for the local businesses. We look forward to it every year because it makes going downtown so much fun. And this year, a few of our families favorite characters showed up....

This was just some scary grim-reaper

The Easter Bunny

?

king opera

I wish I would have gotten a better angle of this one. It was the S.F. fire department and they had two guys getting a cat out of a tree. They even backed up one of their trucks. SO cute.

One of our favorites. "pumpkin bum"

Peanuts

Pancho Villa a.k.a. Clayton

Toy Story

Chandler thought this was a real lady

My personal favorite... Jacob Black!! Mid-transform

Gracies favorite. Ever since she was a year and a half old she has had this obsession with the hulk.

Gracie playing fish pond at dance

Poor Anna B had a bad ankle injury and Gracie was so cute to help her around. Anna would hold her hand and they would just gimp around together. They are bestest friends.

(most days)

Dax man pulling a scarrrry face

Wrestling at Aunt Rhondas

This is sort of an inside joke, but it was hilarious. My dad wears this outfit EVERY day after work. We always make fun of him because the sweater is so ugly! But he wears it anyways. All of the time. With tube socks and his crocs. He also has a rockstar every day, and he LOVES chocolate cake. So Lex was him for halloween. I swear I laughed until I cried.... hahaha

Gracie, Anna, Grandma, and Mike

Gracie and Me

The fam. Chad and I recycled our costumes from last year. So we were ghostbusters again.

The farmer in the dell

No words really.....

Moment to document....

Gracie is 4 and she has never gone bowling. So we decided to change that. We took her bowling in Payson for the first time tonight. Needless to say she is a natural and she LOVED it. I think this will be her date of choice from now on.

Gracie helping Mike be safe

Ta da!!!
