Halloween 2014!

 Another successful Halloween in the books. The day started off with these two up early excited for their parade at school!

Trying to get a family shot before school. 

One day they will all look at the camera. 

Front of the line!

She loved being the parade!

Jer came dressed for the occasion! Leah and Landon didn't even recognize him!

Only the kindergarteners get to go through the classrooms on parade! 

Lucky for these two they get to twice because of TK.

We didn't make it far in the parade. This grumpy butt was done before we started!!

Lacey was not a fan of the scary scarecrow. 

The principal was Willy Wonka and all the staff were the Oompa-loompas. 

The lilos and some of their classmates. 

When Leah got home from school she helped me with the Halloween dinner. 

One of my favorite traditions. Leah loves being a part of it too!

Getting ready to go out trick or treating. There was yet another costume change. No surprise Leah was a kitty. 

I made Goose's pumpkin. I was glad that her actually wore it!

She was fully entertained with all the action of trick or treating. 

My Ninja with an attitude!

Of course Leah found a cat!

Logan loved handing out the candy. When we ran out he started giving it from his own bag! Fine with me, less candy at the house. 

Loving the glow sticks!

I took these three around the block.

Jer took this cutie back to the house to hand out candy. It was a little too windy for her. 

She loved all the goods in the morning!!. 

Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Carving 2014!

Another successful Pumpkin carving night. We waited until the last possible day to carve pumpkins becasue it is still 90+ degrees outside and I didn't want them to wrought on our front porch in the heat! It so fun to see the kids be independent and make their own face and carve the pumpkins all by themselves, even Goose. The only thing they had a hard time with was scraping the guts out! Mom and dad got the honor of doing that for all of them!

Outlining the face to carve. 

She wanted to carve "BOO" in to the side. 

This little stink missed her second nap and was less them pleasant during the activity. 

Leah with her finished product. 

Logan cut his all by himself. He was in pure heaven being able to cut anywhere and everywhere on his little pumpkin!

There wasn't a spot on his pumpkin that didn't have a cut or score mark on it. 

Landon with his all finished. 

She was less then cooperative for a picture, so I'm glad that I got one with her looking and not crying. 

Jer wanted to carve a watermelon this year. So we could eat the insides and have a pretty cool frankenstein pumpkin. Sadly the watermelon we got was roughen! BOO!

It still made for a cute carving!

This whole gang together. 

All a glow!

Memory Monday.

Took the kids to Sizzler to redeem their citizenship awards. So proud of them!

The rest of the clan. 

We live at the park lately. Killing time while Landon is at soccer practice. 

She loves the swing. 

He hates when we are late because he doesn't get the warm up shooting in! 

Love it when dad is there to help entertain on the swings!

She is a monkey and climbs all around this soccer post. 

His ice cream shop. 

Jer usually makes me breakfast. He had to leave early the other day, but left me this. Love this man with all my heart!!

Leah started Gymnastics. She loves it! We are not allowed to go into the mat area so I dont' have great pictures of her. Sorry love!

Playing one of their closing games. 

Trying to walk with his knees in his shirt. Crazy kid. 

Love playing dress-up!

These two had their Primary Program. It so fun being in primary watching them grow and learn. It has been one of my most challenging callings, but one of the most rewarding also. I was sad no one was here to see them do their parts and sing the songs that they work so hard to memorize. One of the downsides of living away. They sure made their mom and dad proud.
