Halloween dinner!! How could we not go here......

9:45 pm and Halloween at our home is official OVER! I am beat and now trying to figure out a way to get secretly get rid of ALL this candy!! We had fun taking the girls to In-N-Out for dinner. The workers there really got a kick out of them! We had them clear tables and hand out stickers to other customers. Very fun! Avery wore his Ironman mask and was hot in this unusually warm California Halloween night! Aubs had fun going out with friends and the 14 year old of the house has decided Halloween is not all it is cracked up to be! Goodbye Halloween, we will anticipate your arrival next year.......well, at least the kids will.
The separating of the candy....didn't we all do this???

Today has been filled with TOO MANY Halloween activities! The day started off with the school parade, next the school carnival and then off to the ward Trunk or Treat.....I am Halloweened(sp?) out!!

Happy Day for Me!

Today was my bday and I had such a great day! Nate and I did lunch with my parents and then did a little shopping...got some cute new boots! Also I have been dying for new bedding in my room! Finally I got it! Next we were off to dinner with the kids and then home for a yummy cake! Thanks to my hubby and everyone else for all the kind notes and calls! It really was a special day!

Before (yuck)
After (better, but not complete!)

Playing catch up! We finally got a new camera! Yea! Here are some updates on what has been going on the past few weeks!

4 More DAYS!

The countdown to Halloween has begun! Last night we headed over to the local pumpkin patch for FHE. All the cousins came and lots of fun was had. Who needs Disneyland when you have the pumpkin patch in T.O.!!

A walk in Wildwood

On Sunday afternoons we usually take a family hike over in Wildwood. This particular Sunday Jane and Nate were the only two up for it.

Conference Sunday

Don't you just love conference Sunday?? Not having to rush around and get everyone looking their best. I love the special breakfast....this year it was Ginger Pumpkin Waffles (YUM!) My kids literally roll themselves out of bed and keep rolling till they hit the rug in front of the T.V. This year we had a special visit from the newest conductor of the Mo Tab choir........

Jane found this suit in Avery's closet....it is a perfect fit. Weird. We teased her all morning reminding her that we were told she was going to be a boy. I am glad she came out a girl. She is much cuter as a girl.

Saturday is a special day, it's the day we.....

Play soccer! Our Saturdays for the past few weeks have been spent on the soccer fields! Some fun, some not so fun. The not so fun are the days when it has been over 90 degrees. Where O where is fall??? Avery has surprised us with how aggressive he is on the field. Our sweet Avery can be quite the monster on the field! Jane is high energy and never seems to get tired. It is such a fun sport to watch.
