Halloween

Ready for trick or treating. This is the first year we have taken our kids door to door trick or treating. In the past we have always had a trunk or treat, but this year our primary had a halloween party instead. That was alot of fun and gave us the chance to go door to door as well. The kids were so excited, they had all their school homework done by 5 (most nights it drags out till bedtime). So after dinner we headed out to our neighborhood. It took us an hour to get through 12 houses, I thought for sure they would want to contine on in the neighborhood just below ours, but they didn't. We came home and the kids watched Casper and ate what little candy they got. It was so nice not to be out all night especially on a school night.

The circus

Last week, the boys school gave all the students free tickets to the Jordan World Circus. Of course they begged to go. I had never been to a circus before so I thought that it would be fun, so I told the boys if they could come up with one more ticket for Ellie I would consider it. The next day I think they brought home 4 extra tickets. So I considered it.

Running around on the outside of the cages.AcrobatsThe elaphants were definately a favorite. Very cute.Jugglers on balance boards.These two did their act twisted in the curtains.

And there are 4 guys on motercycles in this cage. Amazing!

There was many more things going on as well but here were some of the highlights. It was a lot of fun and I am glad the boys convnced us to go.

Halloween

Nothing like trunk or treat in the rain. Because it was cold and rainy it turned into a quick activity. Batman and Superman Red Power Ranger and Cinderellie.

Tiger spent the trunk or treat asleep in the car, same as last year. But she stayed dry and warm. When we got home she raided the boys treats, while thry were having hot chocolate and sitting in front of the fire.

Hayden's Baptism

Hayden is Eight! What a great age.

His baptism date happened to fall on Labor Day weekend and we knew some of our family members would not be able to come because of this, so we asked Hayden if he wanted to wait a month so more family could be there. He said he had already waited 8 years for this and did not want to wait any longer.

We are proud that he chose to be baptised. He is a great kid.

Thanks to all those who came to support Hayden. We have a great family!

ONE!

My baby is one!This year has gone by so fast it is hard to believe our little Taylie Mae is getting so big.

She is a very sweet girl, and we are so glad to have her in our family.

We love you, beautiful girl!
