Halloween 2012

Steph and I decided to make these cute witches costumes. It ended up taking a lot more time and tulle than we had ever imagined. They did turn out cute though, and we got tons of compliments at all of the parties we went to:)

 

I think we took at least 20 pictures trying to get everyone to smile... Oh well, you get the idea:)

Cade showing some love to Casper

I love this girl:)

I think it was safe to say she had a busy, fun day:)

Fall Festival at Bilbray

We all look forward to the Fall Festival every year.

 

Evan and Maylee. I love these two- and I think they love eachother as well:)

 

Haylee and Claudia- BFF's

Haha! These pictures just make me smile. These girls are crazy!

While we were at the fall festival, Bryce had taken Kendal to the ER. She was so sick, and ended up with severe bronchitis:( She wasn't very happy about the breathing treatments, but since she was so good, Bryce bought her McDonalds afterward. Poor girl, this picture just makes me so sad for her:(

*Halloween Parties*

It always seems there are so many parties, even before the actual holiday gets here. This year was no exception! It started off with the ward halloween party...

 

Next, was of course the school celebrations..

Kendal was right in the middle of the fun. This lucky girl will pretty much get to do Kindergarten twice, since she is always right in the middle of the fun in Evan's class (She only missed the deadline by a few weeks anyway for Kindergarten)

Our most favorite Kinder teacher ever, Mrs. Ghering

Thank you Pinterest for the cute witches hat idea:)

Cute girls with Mrs. Davidson- another one of our favorite teachers:)

Happy 5th birthday to the cutest 5 year old I know!

I can't believe my baby is 5 years old (yes, I realize I probably say this every year:)

 

We all love our little Kendal. She is so spunky and full of energy. She is 5, going on 15. I think it may just be a youngest kid thing, but she can keep up with the rest of the kids with no problem. She is so much fun to have around- we sure do love her:)

To San Diego and back- in one day!

I think we set a new record. Sure, we have been to San Diego more times than we can count, but never there and back in one day. But, that is kind of how our family rolls, so we decided, why not?

 

Cade spent his money he had saved up to buy a ticket to the Broncos/Chargers game. He has grown up with Peyton Manning as his hero. Now was his chance to see him in action.

 

My dirty car...but at least we could show a little support for our favorite QB:)

 

We woke up at 6, and headed straight for the beach! We got there in the afternoon, and had a few hours to play. The weather was perfect, and the water was surprisingly warmer than it's ever been before. This was definitely our best beach trip ever!

We collected lots of seashells, and came home with a ton of them. I'm sure the kids will find something to create with them.

Football on the beach? Of course!

Haylee is my little tumbler. She is ALWAYS tumbling. The beach was no exception for her. She loved tumbling in the water. Love this talented little girl. I am going to blow these pictures up and hang them in her room- maybe in black and white?

 

 

After the beach, it was straight to Qualcomm stadium for the game. I dropped the boys off, and the rest of us went back to Bryce's brother Darren's house for dinner and some more play time in their beautiful backyard. So grateful to them for hosting us for a few hours:)

The boys loved their seats. They were in the family section, so no smoking or alcohol. Perfect! They were ready to leave at half time, because Broncos were getting blown out! Thankfully they stayed, it was Peyton Manning's biggest comeback of his career. Needless to say, the boys were so glad they were there to witness it! We left to come home once the game was over. We made it home by 2am, and the kids were so good during the entire trip. Plus, the kids, and Bryce, all made it to school on time today. Monday Night Football...Success!!
