Halloween

We had a pretty low key Halloween.  The kids had their Halloween parade in the morning.  It was fun to watch walk with their classmates.  We went home and Lori and MacKay came over and took the kids to my moms so I could help with Paige's class party.   I loved being able to help with Paige's class I don't get to do it very often so it was lots of fun.

Kylie wanted to be Taylor Swift..it was a last minute decision and I think her costume turned out pretty cute.  

This is the only picture I got of my gold power ranger.  He gets embarrassed easily!

Cameron was Lightning McQueen

I am a lion!

Afterward the kids got out of school we went and visited Grandma Startup.  I didn't get a picture :( I obviously wasn't thinking.She was so excited to have us come visit we had a hard time leaving...we stayed so much longer than I had anticipated.  We went to pick up the two little kids and ran home.  The trick or treaters were already out and about.  I didn't even have time to make our traditional mummy dogs...I made up for it and made them after we went out.

They had fun but Tanner, Cameron, and Chloe were done so I brought them home and Jason took the 2 girls around a little more for some more candy.  They had a good night!

Fun

One night instead of going to bed we decided we would play with the camera.  We had fun I sure love these kiddos!

Happy Birthday to me!

I had a birthday, I wish they wouldn't come around as often.  I feel like I'm still 25 but realize that is no longer the case.  But it is fun for the kids to fix me breakfast, have them be good for 15 minutes, and go on a date with my hubby.

I woke up to flowers and breakfast and a cute banner that Kylie made for me.  Then we ran errands and got kids hair cut, and made a trip to Costco.

I chose to go to the temple and we were lucky enough to have my mom and dad join us.  It was a much needed break from life.  Then we headed to Brick Oven for some yummy dinner and adult time.  We missed Kim and Trent and Amy and Mike, but maybe next year :)

Here is to another year!

11 months

Our cute little miss is 11 months old.  She is into everything, especially loving to get in my purse and pull out all my credit cards.  Climbing the stairs like a champ, and has started climbing onto everything she can like the mantel.  She is a big time daddy's girl and will go to him any chance she can get.  She hates wearing headbands, getting dressed, diaper changes, and being fed.  She loves her bottle, binkie and pink bear.  She has cut 4 teeth started the day she turned 11 months and now has 6 teeth.  She is starting to take steps especially if it is toward her daddy.

We sure love this girl!
