A VIP in Our Family

Mallory was excited when her turn to be the VIP.  She got to bring special Show N Tells the whole week to tell about her and we made her VIP poster.

Then I came to class and read some of her favorite books : The Boy Who Wouldn't Share and The Pout Pout Fish.

Then Mallory read Biscuit all by herself before we handed out cheese and crackers and candy canes :)

BaYLoR

There is only one word that describes this boy...ENERGY!  He is constantly on the go.  It is so hard to get a good picture of him.  But he is pretty darn cute!
He runs, jumps, and climbs everywhere.  He likes to throw things, turn on and off lights and shuts doors.
He loves to sing: The Alphabet Song and HAppy Birthday are his favorite but we recently learned he can sing "Let it Go!" from the Disney movie Frozen.
He is a great sleeper, constantly hungry and LOVE, LOVES, LOVES cars!

We love it when he says "Hewo (Hello)" and his smile is so cute!
We have ripped up books, goldfish on the floor, and wipes pulled out everywhere but we sure love this little guy!

HALLOWEEN 2014

This year Halloween was GREAT!  I got my Halloween decorations up the last day of September and already had everyone's costume ready because two I bought last year on sale and one was a hand me down.
As an activity day leader I was able to help plan and prepare a Daddy/Daughter Halloween Party. It was so much fun!  We had soups, bread, salad and dessert. I am sad I didn't take a picture of the food table...it was quite the spread!
Kylie and Dad decided to be old people!  The walker really made Kylie's costume!

The girls decorated picture frames and we had a photo booth with cute props.

Then they did a mummy wrapping contest and we played Halloween Pictionary.

Our little artist Mallory drew some adorable pumpkins

and the fall colors were in full bloom!

I took the Lazy Mom's approach to carving and we just stuck in some cute faces.

Our home teacher brought buy some delicious cupcakes with some awesome black lipstick frosting!

The ward Trunk or Treat was a blast!

Kylie went trick or treating with friends this year, she is really growing up.

I took Kody and the girls up top and then thought I would trick or treat a few houses in the neighborhood with Baylor. Don't let that cute Alligator face fool you...he was a mess!  He couldn't understand why we couldn't go in everyone's houses.  We went to two houses with lots of screaming and fit throwing.

The girls got plenty of candy and we found a great new post trick or treating tradition of a bubble bath in the jacuzzi tub and watching Hocus Pocus :)

School Pictures

I have never bought the individual school pictures!  All the girls have summer birthdays so I usually just get a picture taken then because there is something about paying for a picture that I haven't seen that scares me.  Sometimes they don't get their pictures taken until after recess and their hair is all crazy or they take off a cute over shirt or they have a forced smile.
But I was a little sad I didn't buy them when  I saw how cute they turned out this year!
Oh well! I always buy their class picture and I'm sure they will be just as darling in that one :)

Scary Hill

Aunt Becca was visiting from Seattle and when she visits we HAVE to have fun!  This year the whole family went to Scary Hill (the Cherry Hill Waterpark) transformed for Halloween. Grandma and Grandpa brought pizza and Aunt Brittany brought doughnuts. The girls went mini golfing but Baylor was having none of it and wanted to walk across picninc tables.  I persuaded him the park would be a little better. We tried these little rides but Krew and Baylor were not amused.

He couldn't wait to get on the hay ride!

There were so many funny/scary skeleton scenes.

Then there were acitivities like the water boats,

Hamster Haven, and Rock Wall.

The girls had never done a rock wall before and loved it!  So even though I was exhausted by this stinkers bad mood all evening the girls had a great time.  Good thing he is so darn cute!
