Halloween

This year, Halloween was really fun. I was able to help the kids celebrate in their classrooms, and we decorated the house to celebrate too! The kids asked me everyday for a month when it was going to be Halloween. I should have taken more pictures! I forgot to take my camera to two school parties. Justin and I had so much fun at a party Saturday night. We have such great friends! Then on Monday Rebekah and Alex came over to celebrate with us. Alex dressed up as Shaggy from Scooby Doo and all of the kids loved it. And of course, I didn't take any pictures of it. Then we watched the live Ghost Hunters show for a few hours. It was so good. We went trick or treating for a while and the kids got a ton of candy. I bought 10 bags of candy to give out, and we used it all. That's how many kids we have in our neighborhood! So here are a few pictures of our festivities. I did remember to take the camera to Joslyn's school party so there are some pictures of that. Then Andrew in his different costumes. He looked so cute in both of them, it was hard to decide. Ellie was a fifties girl. Taylor had to be a BYU cheerleader, Joslyn was tinkerbell on Halloween and Belle at her party and Noah was a Dragon. They are such cute kids!

Noah

My life would be so boring without my little Noah. He keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh all of the time. He has been so good lately, going to sleep on his own, and staying in his bed. A few nights ago as Justin and I were doing our rounds on the kids before bed, we found Noah like this...

He has his head wrapped in a blanket that his grandma made for him. I guess he was cold?? Who knows, Justin and I don't really understand anything he does, but we love him anyway!

Pics of the preggo....as requested.

Here are some pictures of my little (big) pregnant sister. She is due any day now and I am so excited! She is having a baby girl. I can't wait to hold little Avery and love her and then give her back to Rebekah and Alex, go to my house and sleep through the night. I know they will be great parents. Cortney threw Beks a baby shower and it was so much fun. Taylor came with me and we played lots of fun games. The last picture isn't of Bekah, its me and Cortney after last Sundays dinner.

Family Party!

This October we got together to celebrate all of the birthdays in the month. My Grandma Dee let us come to her place to party. It was so much fun and the food was so yummy. Grandma did a great job. She planned lots of activities for us, we carved pumkins, and opened presents. Noah got lots of fun things, his favorite one was a pirate dress up set he got from Bekah and Alex. We went outside and played pirates, looking for buried treasure. It was so nice to spend time playing with the kids. There is a big open grass area in the apartment complex for the kids to run around on. Andrew just loved it! I am so grateful for my family. Sometimes there is drama and sometimes there are hurt feelings, but we love each other so much. I am very blessed. This is Noah blowing out his candles in the pumpkin pie.

The life of the party, Brett, man he loves family parties.

Another cute picture of Noah.

Noah the beautiful

Noah has three older sisters, need I say more?? You can often find him dressed up in a princess gown or church dress or wearing high heels. It doesn't bother me at all. He is so much a boy that I don't think a little dress up time will hurt him. This day he decided to try on a few of the girl's headbands. I think he looks wonderful, don't you?

My little man

I just thought I would post some pics of my little man. He is growing up too fast and I am just trying enjoy every little minute. He isn't really a baby anymore. He is a walking and talking toddler, and I love him!!
