Alice in Wonderland Halloween Party

 We had our annual Allen Family Halloween party on Saturday with "Alice in Wonderland" theme! Sophia even talked me into making her costume--it turned out pretty good! Well, she liked it and that's all that matters!

Here's an Alice from the real people movie, the Queen of Hearts, and Alice from the cartoon!

 A fancy Cinderella (did you really think she would be anything other than a princess?!)

 "Army Guy" playing croquet:

 My SIL Melissa and MIL Debra did the decorations and they were awesome!

 Mad Hatter's Tea Party for the tables with the croquet garden in the background:

 A couple of the great costumes this year!

 I was Cinderella's fairy godmother if you can't tell!

 Real Army guys (thanks to our neighbor who even got the "WARD" patches made for them!

 "Drink Me" bottles--don't grow Alice!

It was a very fun party that everyone looks forward to every year!

Fall Fun

 A visit from Dad on Conference Weekend

 Even a little snow early in October!

 Then back to nice sunny days and field trips for the kids! Sophia is so strong she kept doing pull ups over and over...

 We had a busy fall break going to Planet Pizza one night with some friends, movies, out to eat every night (yeah right! I'm not cooking when we're on "vacation!"), and a trip to Cornbelly's with our friends and neighbors:

 Are we seriously following the kids through the corn maze?!

 A trip up to Park City to see Aunt Shirley and Uncle Jeff:

 No fall would be complete for this Ward family without a trip to The Stadium (with plenty of treats!)

SOCCER!!!

 Another fun, busy season of soccer for the girls on "The Green Team" (very original!) and the kids on "Yellow Lightning!"

 All ready to start another Saturday! Even Brynn likes to put on her soccer clothes (Sophia's from a previous year!)

 Oh--make that Brynn and Kylie that get to go to all their big sister's games!

 Making a break:

 Got it in!

 Big smiles for mom!

 And a "high 5" from coach, Dad!

 Team cheer...

 then ice cream with the cousins to celebrate another soccer day!
