I don't know where a good place to even stop would be.
We could go on and on and on....but the tryptophan is starting to kick in...........

Make it stop!!!

As much as I love seeing campaign ads 24/7 and hearing candidates bash each other back and forth rather than talking TO the American People about what they actually have in store for us, I am very excited for it to end today. Or atleast the majority of it. Here's a funny cartoon I found:

Halloween

Cooper was a fuzzy wuzzy bear for halloween this year.  I think it beats the pink piggy he was last year when everyone thought he was a little girl that didn't belong to us.  I bought the outfit back in September and we "practiced" in it so he wouldn't have a hard time wearing it when the day actually came.  From behind he actually looked like a real something walking around, I thought he resembled an ewok (sp?) mostly but he was just so cute!  He was very good at growling and everything.  Maybe next year he'll actually understand the whole trick-or-treat, walk around with a bucket and get free candy thing. 

We ended up just going to the church and doing the trunk-or-treat with the three wards that meet there.  It was rainy and wet but that didn't stop everyone from having fun! After that we ended up at grandma and grandpa Fry's to show off Coop's costume.  Cooper had his first sucker that night, plus two more and lots of other candy that I'm sure has permenantly ruined him for life.  He hasn't wanted regular food since....

As for other updates, Jake is still very busy with work.  I am growing daily with little fry inside.  We are almost at 8 months!  But we are definitely not counting the days.....with all the season's festivities I'm sure the time will go by fast enough.  We are both very busy with Young Men and Young Womens and we both love being second counselors in the presidencies.  It is awesome working with the youth of the church.  I am constantly surprised at the challenges they face compared to mine just 5 or so years ago.  

Life is busy....when isn't it right?!  More updates sooner than later :)
