Halloween Time!!

Well its now October! Basketball and school are in full swing and Halloween is just around the corner. To start off the month my family and I adventured down to Manti, Utah. Manti is this small town where Michelle's family came from. My great grandma and grandma Martha and Glenn Kenner lived in Manti back in the day. Manti wasn't only where they used to live but it also where my Martha and Glenn Kenner (Great Grandma and Grandpa), Janet Garrick (Grandma), Great Aunt Judy, and many pioneer ancestors are all buried. My family doesn't visit Manti nearly as much as we should but we try to go down when we can. After we visited all our family members we went and walked around the Manti temple grounds. This is the temple where Bronson received his endowment so we thought we should take "Bronson" down to Manti. It was a fun way to spend our.

We were also able to celebrate the birth of the Twins, Gypsy, and Steve! The Twins turned 15 and believe it or not they can get their driving permits! Such a scary thought I know. The Gypsy turned 38 this year! Wahoo!! Just kidding she isn't 40, more like 45 but I swear she's only 38 regardless what she says. Her birthday was so fun! We went out to eat at Costa Vida because its her favorite. Then the Gypsy and I went to a concert at the Muse to listen to our neighbor Isaac Paxman perform. It was such a fun night, but it didn't end there! After the concert we carved pumpkins, made carmel corn, and watched a scary movie. The Gypsy and I LOVE LOVE LOVE scary movies so we try to watch them as much as we can. It was a fun night of Gypsy/Cancer Kid bonding. Lastly is the old man Steve-o. After much debate, he is turning 48 this year. His birthday actually isn't till Monday but I felt bad leaving him out. Every year the Gypsy makes him a homemade German Chocolate Cake (which is to die for) and he gets cool presents. This year his present is the coolest thing ever. I will blog about it next week. This month is just full of birthdays!!

One night my dear friends and teammates Tephanie and Borgan got bored. So I came up with this clever idea that we would paint our faces and scare Kimmer. Well, we did quite a superb job at painting our faces if I must be honest. After we were all painted and got into character we went to scare Kim. She didn't really get scared but it was a lot of fun taking pictures and making funny movies. Corbin, Kenny, and Devin thought they'd copy us and painted their faces as well. I've never been a huge Halloween person but it was so much fun to get all painted up and such and scare Kimmer :)

Official basketball practice has started! Its crazy to think that in 2 weeks my games start and its season. Its nice to be back playing and having the coaches there to coaching, but I do miss summer pick up games I won't lie. This season is going to be a lot of fun. We have a lot of young girls but they're going to help out majorly. I just can't wait for November 3 for that first exhibition game. I've missed playing basketball and games so so much. If you ever get bored, come watch a game! Here's a link to our schedule so come watch! http://byucougars.com/schedule/w-basketball

Well besides long days at school and basketball life has been good. I'm still trying to adjust to being back to normal college life but its so nice to be back. I go in for a check up this week possibly the next. I'm sure everything will be fine. Thank you everyone for your love and support. It means so much to me and more! I'll keep you updated on my next appointment. By the way, the Gypsy has facebook! How awesome is that? Everyone should add her she is almost as funny as I am. Jokes Jokes. Anyways, love you all!

Love,

Alexis
