The Kiddos

It's about time we update the photos of our kids. Fall has been beautiful here. the weather has been amazing and the colors are gorgeous. We almost missed it, but were able to capture it some...










Adam was also able to bless Abigail sunday in church. My mom made a gorgeous blessing dress for her to wear. It was a great day with some family and friends.

Happy Halloween

Yes, blogging has taken a huge backseat in my life this year. I have been a tad bit busy, but now I feel things are calming down some and maybe I will get around to posting a few pictures here and there. This year Halloween seemed to take a backseat to other things in daily life as well. We did carve a few pumpkins the afternoon of Halloween and I made small contributions to Liz and James school parties so I called it a success. I never found the decorations to put up, but after seeing my new neighbors "haunted house" they put up in about 30 minutes my decorations would have looked silly anyways. (I wish I would have taken a picture--complete with graveyard, floating ghouls, jumping spiders, etc) Liz was snow white with black hair, James was spiderman, Luke was a dinosaur and Abigail a pumpkin. I could not believe that Luke did not fight any piece of his costume at all. I couldn't believe it. He seemed genuinely happy to wear it.

We participated in our ward trunk or treat and carnival and then went trick or treating in our neighborhood on Halloween. Luke made it to 8 or so houses before he couldn't walk anymore and would climb in and out of the stroller at the next few doors. After about 12 houses James told us he just wanted to go home. I was surprised, but we granted his wish. (He just wanted to dive into all the candy) Lizzy on the other hand was not stopping until her bucket was filled to the top. It was a fun Halloween with the kiddos!
