I know, I know Halloween is over...but I got these pictures from Jen {our family photographer, lol} and needed to add them to the blog so I can include them in my book. So bear with me, please!

Caleb as a spooky skeleton. He told us, "My mask is pretty freaky. I'll be careful not to scare the little kids." lol!


Caleb & Aubrey with their cousins Dallin & Jared.


Lukey bear with his dimples is just so adorable!


Aubrey girl was the prettiest witch!





Tessa, our little pumpkin!

We visited my family in California last year for Halloween and had a blast! So...we decided to go again this year! We left after Caleb & Aubrey got out of school. We were right out of Yuba City around midnight, lots of farm land mind you, I was just shutting my eyes when BAM! All the kiddos woke up with a start and I asked Mike what he hit! He said he thought it was a German Shepard. Now I hate dogs. I hate everything about them. But I'm not heartless! So, yeah, I just bursted out crying. It was so horrible. Well, we felt something dragging and pulled over. I was so afraid we just had a horrible mess on our hands. Um...we discovered we had another kind of mess on our hands.


What a wonderful way to start our vacation, right?!
We did have such a good time, shopping, IKEA, trunk or treat...the kids had a ball, I had a blast seeing my sisters and good friend Jen! Made me SO homesick!

I don't know who this little Alice In Wonderland is but all the kids were playing a game and she ended up on the same number Aubrey was...I just thought how cute they were!




Tessa was a little obsessed with her Aunt Val and Uncle Jerry. Oh she'd throw quite the fit if one of them wasn't holding her!

"Contained"! This little missy is the busiest little one I've had! Um...by far! She's up on the table, pulling things out off the pantry shelves, getting the pots & pans out of the cupboard, pushing buttons on the printer and my favorite...dancing around with our underwear that she pulled out of our dressers! So I'm constantly thinking about things for her to play instead of all the aforementioned!;) Lukey always has to get in on it too!

My helpers!! The other day the kiddos decided to help me out with my "to do" list!

Aubrey & Caleb had a Halloween costume parade at school. It was so fun to see all the kids dressed up! Vegas has the best weather for Halloween!






That's Lukey over on the slide! So dang cute. We had a great Halloween this year!

Our neighborhood puts on an October Harvest Celebration and this year we were able to go. Hands down the best carnival for kiddos. There were so many games and balloons and foot races and goodies for the kids. They had a ball and the weather was beautiful.











We walked across the new bridge down at Hoover Dam. It was really neat to see the dam from the other side. There were so many people there it made it kinda hard to stop and take pictures. But we managed to get a few!






Miss Tess was the ONLY kiddo who would sit long enough for me to take their picture and she's still moving enough to make the pictures blurry!! lol! I'm gonna have to come up with some sort of bribe for the next party they have so I can get some good shots of them all dressed up! Our ward had trunk or treat the other night. To say the kids were excited would be a huge understatement!

Here's just a few little things I've been doing lately...;)

A yummy caramel sauce I made for the teachers/helpers in Primary. So good!!



Revamped some candles!



Tutus made!! And a witches' hat!


We are SO ready for Halloween!!

Caleb had an assignment from school to make a haunted house. I admit I completely forgot about it until last night! Sunday night no less, so we scrounged up things we had around the house and thankfully Caleb was happy with it! Aubrey had to make a witch face and Luke a mummy face! Such funny kiddos!




I love making candies and goodies! This is my first batch of divinity this year. Yum! Tessa is the only kiddo who likes it!
