Halloween 2011

I think this was one of the BEST Halloweens ever! The kids were so cute in their costumes this year. Aubrey was a super cute cheerleader, Ella was a stylish witch, Cali was a beautiful princess Aurora and Ammon was the most adorable lion I've ever seen. He loved wearing his costume. As soon as Joey put it on, he was all smiles(you'll see in the pics below). He loved how soft it was and clapping his hands together(and growling like a lion too:) We had so much fun this year doing lots and lots of fun family stuffaroo. We decorated Halloween sugar cookies, had dinner in a pumpkin one night, went to a Trunk or Treat/Fall festival at our church, carved a Mickey Mouse pumpkin(In honor of our upcoming trip of course! Did you notice my new cheesy countdown below the banner? :) had a mummified dinner Halloween night complete with dry ice and of course went trick or treating around the block. I love this time of year! The weather has been amazing: 60s-70s. There is excitement in the air. Leaves are changing colors. I've been baking everything pumpkin imaginable. And there are approximately one million pieces of candy at my fingertips now...ahh, the holidays are lovely. Up next: Thanksgiving(more yummy food!!!!) Oh, and thankfulness too... :)

I wish they had had costumes like that for wee ones when my kids were growing up. Love and hugs to you all. xxoo; 11/6/11, 3:19 AM

Cali is our 9 year old silly girl who keeps us laughing. And also keeps us on our toes:) She is a feisty little second grader with a mind and will of her own. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
