Celebrations all weekend...

What a crazy, fun, happy weekend we were able to have. We had a great November Birthday party at Grandad & Grammie's house. It was a party to Celebrate Kenzie, Christian and Grandad's birthdays.
It was a mystery theme, so Cody got to pull out all his old magic tricks and put on a little 'magic show' for us. The kids loved it and so did Cody. It brought back some memories for him. He was telling me when he was 7, he did a magic show in his school's talent show, and he was the winner.
I just had to laugh a little thinking of little Cody-Boy standing up on stage doing his little bag of tricks. So Cute!

Grammie had some fun games planned for the kids. A mystery game where the kids had to taste different foods while blindfolded and then guess what they were. And another game where the kids had to try and guess their mom/dad's hands & feet without seeing their faces.

We had a great time laughing, eating, opening presents and just being together. Thanks again Grandad & Grammie for the fun party, we loved it!



Also this weekend, Robert & Ashely's little girl, Maili was baptized. We were able to go to her baptism and spend some time with family. Congratulations Maili, we are all so proud of you!



While at the baptism, I was able to take a few pictures of these two monkeys: Tehani & Sadie.
They are not ones to hold still for long, so it was quite an accomplishment.



They are both so cute and spunky.

Sitting still just long enough to have a treat.

Also Saturday was Danny & Karen's 37th wedding anniversary! What wonderful in-laws they are, I could not ask or wish for any better. You guys are such a great examples to me-Love you!




Happy Halloween! The weather was so dreamy for a Halloween night in our area. It sprinkled a little, but other than that the kids could just go without their coats. Because it was so warm, we just let the kids keep going and going, we stayed out late and had so much fun.

Abigail was a little Chinese girl, Emma was Nancy Drew, Sam was Spider man, and Sadie was about four different things this year; but on Halloween she decided on Cinderella. It was so fun walking around the neighborhood with them and just watching them run from house to house.

We ended the night going over to some of our friends home for homemade doughnuts and hot cider. We had a simple Halloween with friends & family this year and it was wonderful.

I had to take pictures of these costumes that my friend Sandy made. I thought they were so, so cute. The pictures are blurry, but the costumes were about the cutest things you've every seen. I couldn't get Annabell to hold still long enough for a picture.

This is Sammy's friend Ben in his fish costume. So cute!
