BOO!!!!

So, I know I'm a little slow in posting these but better late than never!

The ward party was on Friday and we had a great time but I took no pictures which is sad because Ashlynn's wings broke so she didn't have her real costume for Trick or Treating!  No big deal though, they all had a great time!

Maryn and Cayden had a Halloween Party at a friends house Saturday afternoon and had a great time!  Cayden got very into it and wanted all the make-up for his costume!

Ethan was an old time gangster, Cayden was a Pirate, Maryn was Sleeping Beauty, Gwendolyn was Cinderella and Ashlynn was the fairy god mother, until her wings broke!  Then she was going to be a 50's girl with a poodle skirt but she didn't like wearing the skirt so for Halloween she had her tutu on and a little white shirt!  It worked!

We were kind of slackers and never picked up pumpkins to carve so instead, I made sugar cookies and the kids got to frost them!  They had a blast using the decorating tips and bags!

Double Digits

It's just a little bit late since we were traveling on Ethan's Birthday but I have to do my traditional birthday post!

It's hard to believe he's 10 years old now!  He's hit the double digits!!! Only a couple more years until he is a Deacon!  I'm having a hard time believing it's possible still!  He's such a big kid!  He's past my shoulders now!  I don't know how big he'll be but I know I'm going to be the short one in the future!!  He's such a sweet kid too.  Yes, he has his moments but he is a smart funny and loving kid!  He loves his brother and sisters and is always showing it. (although a little more to the girls than to Cayden!)  He is such a joy in our home!  Love you Ethan!!!  Happy Birthday!
