Random Halloween Stuff

Brandon got his school pictures back this week. He is so handsome. Cody had funny hair when he woke up from his nap. When I asked him if he wanted a picture of it, he siad yes, then laid on the floor to get it taken. He is so cute.

Ryan and I decided to take the rest of the rhubarb from our garden and make jam with it. We made rhubarb-orange and strawberry-rhubarb jams. They are the best jams I have ever tasted in my life. And it was so fun making them with Ryan.





Kathleen really wanted a picture of her hair the other day.




Ryan used to play the tenor sax in high school. Brandon has been asking about the black box in our garage on the top shelf. Finally I talked Ryan into getting it out and playing for Brandon.



Cody and his Halloween glasses:

Cody is a horse. Everytime I take a picture of him, he puts his head down and says, "ney!" But I finally got one of his face.




Kathleen is a princess (again). Shocking, I know. We almost got a super hero out of her, but then she saw this princess costume and changed her mind.


Here we are, all dressed up and read for the trunk-or-treat at our church.




Kathleen hung out with her buddy Hannah the entire time.




The boys are fishing:




Brandon got to be a warrior from Helaman's army in church on Sunday. He (and Cody) love to dress up in the costume he made in primary.

Heidi tagged me on her blog and said to open my picture file on my computer and open the fourth file and find the fourth picture. Here it is, from my days working at the CLIC at BYU.

My mom wanted to see our spider webs Ryan put up this year. So here they are.




Cody was just relaxin' at the table the other day. It was pretty cute. I had to get a picture. He wasn't tired or anything. Just hangin' out.


We had our annual chili dinner with pumpkin carving at the Reese's this year. We sure missed the Nielson's again. Cody was sooooo excited about the event.

Bye Bye Soccer!

Soccer is officially finished. Kids had their parties and got trophies and are done.

Aunt Alyssa

Cody burned his hand on the stove. It was so sad. I finally got him calmed after running his hand under water for about 30 minutes. But a bowl of cold water also seemed to help. This was how he fell asleep to take his nap. Rob and Hadley (some friends) came over and played tennis on our Wii. Hadley is the assistant tennis coach at the university, so we got a real kick out of it.
Saturday was the last day for Soccer games for our kids this year. It was a beautiful day and Aunty Alyssa came to town to visit for the weekend. So she got to go to the games.


Making a Halloween count-down chain.
Making awesome sugar cookies.

We went to the corn maize to just play around with the kids. It was fun, but way too crowded.










Brandon would always sneak up and sit right next to Alyssa. It was pretty cute.
We LOVE our Aunt Lissy!
Kathleen had a really loose tooth. Finally yesterday she stopped eating. I told her if it was still there when dad got home that we were going to pull it. Oh the drama!
But finally, after much crying and persuasion, daddy barely touched her tooth, and out it came.
