PiRaTeS aNd PaRtiEs...

This week Sophia and Oliver came over to play and we made these little pirate hats and wands!!  They were playing "pirates and crocodiles" and they all took turns being the "captain" of the ship!! Dax ended up wanting to wear the hat 24/7 for the next few days!!  Who knew a foam hat would be such great entertainment!!

Well, here is Dax wearing his 2 favorite things right now...his pirate hat (as I mentioned) and princess slippers!!  Breton gets SO mad at me for letting him wear Kaylin's shoes, but I think it is the funniest thing ever!!  He always brings me a pair of shoes and wants me to put them on him!  I think he loves her slippers because the heals light up!!  Anyway, it's pretty classic!! :)

 

Halloween Party

Hanging out by the chip bowl!

Kaylin's pumpkin she decorated!

Dax was loving the frosting on the cupcakes...as you can tell!!

The day before Halloween, Jen Brotherson had a fabulous little party for all of the kids!!  There was pumpkin bowling, a cake walk, pumpkin toss, pumpkin and cookie decorating, and yummy treats!!  Thanks Jen for such a fun afternoon!!

Vivian Park...

Last Sunday we took a drive up the canyon and to Vivian Park to look at all of the beautiful scenery this time of year!!  I really do love the fall here, especially with all of the leaves changing colors!!  

So everyday, Kaylin loves to pick out a new outfit for herself!  No matter what I dress her in, the second we get home she heads for her closet to find a new outfit!!  This is what she pieced together today...a summer dress with rain boots!!  Hey, at least she picked boots that matched her bows!! :)

This is Dax's new favorite thing to do!!  One, he is loving all of the suckers from all of our Halloween festivities!  And two...he LOVES to sit in the fridge and just chill!! It seriously cracks me up!!  Why are kids so funny!?!

I had to post this picture because it depicts Dax so perfectly at this time in his life!!  He is completely OBSESSED with chips...any kind: Dorito's, Tortilla, Cheetos, Pretzels, etc...  He carries around a little bag almost all day long!  I now make him eat the messy ones in his high chair because I am sick of having my carpet look like his mouth!! :) 

DaNce cLasS...

So last week all of the girls in Kaylin's dance class wore their Halloween costumes and all of the parents were able to come in and watch!  They put on a little dance to the "Monster Mash" and it was so adorable!!!  She and Savanna are such cute little dancers!!

TrIcK oR tReAt StReEt...

Well, it wouldn't be Halloween without taking the kids to the "Trick or Treat Street" up at the Southtowne Expo. Center!  This is our 3rd year and we loved being able to go with Hannah and Sophia!!  

I am not really sure how it happened, but Kaylin was doubling up on the candy!  She would get candy in her princess bucket 1st, set it down, then open up her bag for another round!!! It was pretty funny!! 

Dax was just loving the atmosphere with all of the lights and decorations!! 

GarDneR ViLLagE...

Kate and I took the girls (and Dax) to Gardner Village for the little Witch Festival they have every year!!  It was so much fun walking around to all of the cute shops and boutiques...and of course seeing all of the amazing witch displays (which I only took pictures of a few).  They also had little pony rides for the kids....Dax found a new love!!  He is obsessed with riding the ponies and it is so cute!  The kids had a blast and so did we!! :) 

Dax, Sadie, Kaylin, and Savanna!

This witch is sitting on the toilet and was called, "Witchy Poo!" Kaylin was like, "Eew gross!"

Such silly girls!!

BarNyaRd BoO...

The kids and I went to Barnyard Boo up at Thanksgiving Point!!  It was so cute and once again...Kaylin and Dax had so much fun with Sophia and Oliver!! Such cute little friends!

Cookie Decorating and Pumpkin Painting...

We went over to Shane and Hannah's to let the kids do some halloween activities together!!  They pretty much spent the whole night decorating the cookies...the frosting was piled high and covered with sprinkles!  They were in heaven!!!

So we went to St. George about 2 weeks ago and got to see most of Breton's family!!  Grandma and Nicole decorated pumpkins with KK and she had such a fun time with them!!  Dax is always along for the ride!! :)

OuR wEeKenD tRiP...

Well, we went down to Fresno the first weekend in October and had such a fun time with friends and family!!  Grandma Susan took us to a cute little pumpkin patch and it was so much fun!!  There was a little spooky maze (which Kaylin was freaking out during), a hayride, little farm animals, corn circles, pumpkin picking, and wagon rides!!  Kaylin and Dax had a blast and so did we!!  Thanks grandma and Austin for such a fun time!

We even had a little picnic after!!!  :)

Well, here we all are...quickly growing in numbers with all of these little ones now!!  We loved being able to hang out with our great friends, the Cleveland's and the Zeedik's...it had been way too long!!  Such a fun time hanging out, shopping, eating, and spending time together!!  

Cute Halle and KK!!

The little 4some!  Dax, Halle, Cooper, and KK!

We took Kaylin to the Fresno Bulldogs game and she had lots of fun hanging out with all of the adults!!!

So I know this is a funny picture, but Kaylin LOVES this little bed that Grandma Susan makes for her everytime we come into town!  It makes her feel so special!  It's amazing how such simple things can be so pleasing!!! :)
