Happy Halloween!!

Of Course once again because of the move our Halloween Festivities had to start early this year! We carved pumpkins last Monday for Family Home Evening. Addi for the first time actually cleaned out her pumpkin, she is always very dainty and doesn't want to get her hands dirty, but we told her if she wanted to carve she had to clean out the inside, so she did it! Addi's is on the far right she knew exactly what she wanted and instructed dad exactly how it should be done to get the perfect face! Our neighbor Adam's pumpkin is next to Addi's and then mine is the far left and Jake's is next to mine!!
We went to the wards party and Trunk or Treat, thankfully they had it early so we were able to go to it before we left! Addi wanted to be Hello Kitty for Halloween and since they didn't have any costumes that I could find we made what we had work and while I was making ears we decided Miss Brie Brie would be a black cat as well, Pierce got a hand-me-down Tigger Costume from Mr. Milo!! They all were sure cute!
So surprised that make-up stayed on Brielle that long!
Cute little girls!!
Best Friends, Addi and Brielle are sure going to miss Isabelle and Anya!

Hello Kitty
Black Cat
Tigger
The kids were very intrigued with something!! Mr. Milo had a matching skeleton costume as his baby sister Pyper, wish I could have gotten a picture of them together they were so cute!



We had a great Halloween, we are so sad to be leaving all of our great friends, We miss everyone so much already!

Happy Birthday, Beautiful girl!!






My Baby girl turned five today, She is such a beautiful little girl and although I like to complain that my children never listen to me and are naughty, she really is a very good little girl!! Such a wonderful helper and getting to be so grown up and she never stops talking, I think she believes that she has to voice every little thought that comes into her brain or she might explode, but sometimes the things that come out of her mouth just crack us up!! She has gotten to be so grown up she understands and loves the gospel and tries so hard to share it with others!! She has been going to a Presbyterian preschool and she tells me everyday that she always sings "I Love to see the Temple" and "Follow the Prophet" to her teacher and her friends!! We have lately been trying to teach her the concept of time, she has a hard time grasping that Grandma doesn't come for six more days or that we won't be going to the party until tonight or school doesn't start until morning and so on and so forth!! Jake and I always laugh because, for example we will say "Addi for your birthday we are going to Disney with your friend Isabelle!" and she says "Today?" and I will reply "no, tomorrow", her "tomorrow today", me " no tomorrow in the morning", her "in the morning tomorrow today!" I guess she thinks tomorrow is somewhere in the future and she needs a time limit on it! She loves to help me cook dinner and to clean out the dishwasher (score, I hate cleaning out the dishwasher, I blame my mother, the dishwasher for many years was my job after school!!) We unfortunately are smack dab in the middle of moving to Texas during her birthday so last Thursday we celebrated her birthday, she went to her last day of school and I brought in cupcakes and then when we picked her up from school we took her to Disney World and met her friend Isabelle, it was a lot of fun to be able to go to Disney one last time before we move. We all had a fun time. She simply is just a wonderful little girl, that I love and wouldn't trade for anything in this world!! Happy Birthday my little miss, I love you so much!
