Happy Halloween 2011

The weather this year was so awesome!!  It was so warm the kids didn't even wear jackets.  Can I just say, I love my neighbors.  I got to take the kids trick-or-treating this year.  I loved walking around visiting with everyone.  When I got home I just thought how grateful I am for all the wonderful people I live by.

Jane the gypsy

Eli the very spooky skeleton

Vader Hy using the force on me

Walt the pirate.  He picked this costume out because he liked the sword. I was just happy he would let us put on this much of his costume.  It is a large step up from kicking and screaming until we took the costume out of his sight last year.

Well, the list could go on really forever.  I can not say enough good things about Matt.  I am so thankful to be married to him.  I have enjoyed thinking of him all day today and how wonderful he is.  Matt threw down some super delicious pizza for his Birthday dinner.  I know, he cooked his own dinner. Really he is a much better cook than I.  The pizza was awesome and the company great.  I hope Matt enjoyed the day as much as the rest of us.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Matt, I love you like CraZy!!

One big Birthday card.

I had picked out 34 photos to create the number 34 but my board was not big enough. I had everyone sign the board like one big card.

CraZy KiDs

For red ribbon week the kids had a crazy hair day.  Eli and Jane like to go all out.  Yes Jane put little dog in each loop of her hair!  She is so creative, I love it.

Walt is just crazy ALL the time.  This is what he dose for fun at home.  He call's it making his office, I call it making a big pile-O-mess.

Now I know it looks like Walt got punched in the face but he just figured out how to wink.  He is very proud of this new found talent and it cracks me up to see his face like that.  I love it how his mouth kinks to one side.

Hyrum got a black spider stamp from school for Halloween, little did I know while we were driving home from school Hyrum and his two friends we carpool with were happily stamping their faces. How can I be mad at that?  SO cute.  I rubbed his face with coconut oil and rosebud salve for what felt like forever but we finally got it off.

Boating in October

I have so much to blog about it is just pure craziness!!  I hope to be caught up by Christmas.  Today we had snow.  I was really sad, I don't really love the snow, just at Christmas time.  We had such a lovely fall.  We got to take our NEW boat aka Mom and Dads old boat out for one last day in October.  The water was cold but we still jumped in and had a fantastic time.  I am never ready to say good bye to summer.  Ta, ta for now, until next year good old boat we are happy you are a part of our family now.  Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

Hyrum and his friend Krew

Jane warming up in the cuddy

Eli and I had a total blast on the tube!

Hyrum and Krew were so cute on the tube.  It submarined and both of them held on for dear life even though they were being drug under the cold water.  Hyrum cried, but when I got on the tube with them and accidentally fell off he was all full of laughs.  It was a good day.
