Halloween Kid Party

Ella was not a Happy Hula Girl

My friends and I did a little kid Halloween party this year and it was fun craziness because I had 2 extra kids with me. Lily's Cinderella costume hadn't arrived yet from her Grandma Harmon so she wore her Snow White Dress-up with her Gabriella wig. She got her craft on painting a picture.

This little girl was having a rough night, so sugar cookies were definately our best friend.

Halloween Night

Halloween Night, I finally got this little girls Fairy Godmother's costume done, and I think it turned out pretty cute. Even though she didn't want to trick or treat, but wanted to sit in the stroller and eat a sucker, she still looked stinkin' cute!


We started trick-or-treating at our friends' neighborhood and Lily was thrilled to be with her best friends.

Little Princesses

Lily was in LOVE with her Cinderella dress that Grandma Harmon made her! After we got home and the kids ate dinner, Lily helped pass out candy for a bit and then decided she was ready for more so we hit up our neighborhood for a bit. A fun night for all, and too much candy like always.

So our ward didn't do a Halloween Party this year so we sort of went to our friends' ward party. It was fun. Lily's costume hadn't arrived yet from grandma so she decided to be Tinkerbell, and Ella was a ballerina fairy concoction.

















Just another example of this little one not wanting to be out of my arms
























These two were LOVING each other and just chasing all around the place



















































































































Here is Ella with her new BF Kia, who she followed around because she was feeding her candy.

After we got home these two were just being so cute I had to take more shots of them being the lovelies they are

Chad's 32nd Birthday (August 18th I'm catching up okay)

So Chad wanted the most awesome German Chocolate Cake Ever, and well, let's just say I tried. I did like four layers of frosting and then tons on top and finally it just sort of exploded from all the goodness. But besides looking a wreck, it did taste pretty awesome. He got a new schetchbook from my family, along with some socks (tradition) and some $ and treats. I'm so excited for his schetchbook because if you didn't know Chad is an amazing artist and I am always trying to keep his little drawings together but they have all just been on scraps of paper. So now he has a place to keep them all and pass down to our kids someday. Here is a little taste of what he can do.
