Haloween 2009

The kids had a fun Halloween this year. They got quite of bit of candy between the ward trunk-or-treat and trick-or-treating. I keep finding candy wrappers around the house so obviously I didn't get it all confiscated in time.

Thanks to Aunt Brisa for hair and make-up.

Of course after the school, ward, and dance parties, the kids didn't want the same costumes by the time Halloween got here. So these are the trick-or-treat costumes. Thanks to Chris for taking them around.

Fall Pictures

We missed out on our regular pictures with Cami this year so our friend Netta offered to snap a few shots of the kids. She did an excellent job - especially with four kids and the pushy mom attempting to help, but just getting in the way. Thanks Netta!

Cassidy turns 3

Cassidy's birthday was on Thursday so we went to Kangaroo Zoo. That's where Branson wanted to go for his birthday, but we couldn't work it in. So we went a little late and called it good for both birthdays.
Cassidy wanted a barbie princess cake because that's what her cousin Brylee had. I made an attempt, but it didn't turn out quite like I had hoped. The frosting was too runny, the doll was too small, the cake was falling apart, and the kids kept sticking their fingers in the frosting. But that didn't matter to Cassidy. She loved it anyway! You have to love 3 year olds.

Oh What Did We Do in the Summertime

Before winter gets here, I thought I would post a few pictures of our favorite summer activities.

Camping at the Big Horn Ranch

Riding scooters and playing at Classic Skating

SWIMMING!

SOCCER

MORE SWIMMING! - We love 7 Peaks!

First day of dance

Cassidy has been looking forward to starting dance class for a long time. She loved her first day.

She is excited that her cousins Alli and Brylee are in her class.

Branson's attempt at hairstyling

So here is a picture of Branson's first attempt at hairstyling. I hope he doesn't try it again anytime soon. Grandma had to get out the clippers to make him look presentable.

SCHOOL - YEAH!

This was Chloie's first day of 1st grade. School starts at 8:00 and she normally wakes up at 8:30 or 9:00. Let's just say this is going to be a difficult year!She looooves iCarly and had to have this backpack.
