Halloween

Devan went as Peter from Narnia. He chose this costume because of the sword. Typical of boys right?
Kami chose to go as Little Mermaid. I tried to persuade her into choosing something other than a princess, since she is one every year. But see where that got me.

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating at the stores on main street down town. They also got to visit their dad at work, where of coarse they received candy. Later that evening they went to our wards trunk-or-treat, receiving even more candy. They have enough candy to last them until next Halloween. And the holidays are just beginning.

Pumpkin Carving

We had a great time carving our Halloween pumpkins with some of our friends.

Murder Mystery Theater!

This year for Halloween a friend of ours wanted to have a Halloween party. So we all got together and had ourselves a Murder Mystery Dinner. We all got dressed up as characters from the game and proceeded to act out the game. We had so much fun acting out a role that is so not like ourselves. The game took place at an Archaeological dig sight and we were all guest until the host is killed and one of us did it. Each round of the game revealed new information on each character and we all tried to eliminate who did it. In the end the victims daughter Tara Sunder did it ( played by Bekah Hughes).

Witches Fest 2008!

Jenny(sister), Stephanie(sister-in-law), me, my mom

My sister and I have started a tradition where once a year we get together with my mom and my new sister-in-law and we go to the Witches Fest. We love it. We get to dress up in our "witchy" costumes, which mine and Stephanie's will be better next year since my mom is making us our costumes. But we wear our fun hats. We head down to Gardner Village where we eat, drink (water) and dance the night away. And sometimes we even buy something. Its a great night to get out with the girls and have a good time. No kids allowed, Neil gets them.

First Day of School

Since we are still new to blogging I am posting some pictures that were taken a few months ago that I wanted to share. Hope no one minds.

On August 25th Devan set out for his first day of school as a first grader. He was very excited to see some of his friends from last year. Just look at that smile. He is in Mrs. Moore's class and he loves it.

Here he is at school. Ready! Set! Here he goes!

Happy Birthday Kami!

We have lost a tooth!

On the way home from Lorin and Janice's house on Sunday Oct 12th, Kami and Devan were eating some of the apples they had given us. Kami yells out that she has a tooth that has become loose. Neil and I didn't even know she had a loose tooth. We were so excited that we pulled the truck over just so we could wiggle her tooth. All the way home she played with her loose tooth and she wanted nothing to do with Neil's ideas of how he pulled his teeth (via string and a big pull). By monday morning it was bugging her so badly that she ate another apple and out popped the tooth.


Once again, I was so excited for her that we drove down to Neil's work just so we could show him. Devan is so determined to eat lots of apples so that he can loose a tooth too.


Kami with her baby tooth in a bag and the apple that pulled it out. Yeah!
