Preview of our Halloween Costumes

At first Mark didn't want to wear a costume this year, but he came through in the end, what a HEART!! I am his hippie partner, but not shown in the picture!!

Haylie's costume is the cutest! She even has the cutest boots to match!!

Albie has wanted to be a witch ever since last year. We found this costume and thought it was perfect for her since she loves PINK!!!

RRRR!!!
And Garrett also has wanted to be a pirate since last year, oh wait, he was a pirate last year too!!
He just looks so cute!!!

Thanks Jill for having a Halloween party so my kids can wear their costumes more than once (who am I kidding, I love to dress up too and see all the other adult costumes!!)

Halloween Traditions

I remember when I was little around Halloween we would make sugar cookies in the shape of pumpkins and ghosts. It was always so fun. Since I've started a family of my own I've tried to do this every year. We even expanded our shapes into cats, witches broom, moons, tombstone, and of coarse pumpkins. The kids love this, don't worry, they have their own dough and they keep rooling out their own while I make the cookies that we give to people. Same with the frosting, the kids frost their own and then I will frost the others. If your kids are anything like mine, they like to lick their fingers alot, (the frosting is delicious!!)

Pumpkin Patch

Every year we try to go to the Pumpkin Patch at the Red Barn in Santaquin, this year was no different. I gathered the kids and headed down the road to the Red Barn. We met the Torres girls there and headed out on the wagon to find pumpkins. It was a great day, the sun was out andit was warm. The kids loved it!! Garrett had already gone to the Red Barn with his preschool class so he helped Haylie pick out her pumpkin. He is such a great big brother, he carried her's the whole way. We had a lot of fun!!!


Here are the kids hanging out at the Red Barn while we were waiting for the hay ride!

New background

Can I just say that I am so proud of myself. It only took me 3 days of all day long to figure out how to change my background!! When it comes to computers I am really quite stupid. Anyway, now that I know how to change the background, hopefully I will change every now and then. Enjoy!!

New Post......FINALLY

Garrett Turns 4!!!

I can't believe my little guy is already 4. Where does the time go?

I haven't been the best bloger since Garrett's birthday was back in

August and it has taken me this long to get a post on it. I will try to

do better. Garrett had a spiderman party, well he had his cousins over

for pizza, cake and ice-cream, but they got spiderman goodie bags, doesn't

that count as a spiderman party??? We really haven't been doing much since school is back in session, so there really isn't much to take pictures of. I will try to find little candid moments to had to the blog.
