School Halloween Parties!

Ok, so I have a new found respect for teachers...

Every year the girl's school does a Halloween parade,

so Kelsey and I went in the morning to see Kimber in her parade, then

I volunteered to help in Kimber's class in the morning for her Halloween party.

I helped the kids make 3 D pumpkins.

Had lots of fun, took Kelsey with me, she was a great little helper.

Then, went home, picked up Khloe from the sitter and took her with me

to help in Kelsey's class in the afternoon for her Halloween party.

Khloe and I watched Kelsey in her parade with all the afternoon Kindergarten kids

visiting the other classes in school and showing off their costumes.

I got to help with the candy corn drop which was lots of fun and

funny to see the kids try to make the candy corn land in the jar!

Khloe had fun traveling around the class and sampling all the candy and cookies!

By the time I got home, I was exhausted! I totally fell asleep on the couch and missed getting the girls from the bus stop. Thankgoodness they are big enough to walk up the street together!

Kelsey is snacking on her Halloween cookie!

I love Halloween and seeing how much fun the kids have.

But I've realized, I am way to old to be going all day.

I need a nap!

Carving da pumpkins...

We had so much fun this year carving pumpkins... we let the girls draw the faces on then mom and dad helped carve them in. Kelsey had a ton of fun with her marker and colored all over the pumpkin (did you know that the "magic eraser" will get marker off of pumpkins?!) Khloe was just excited to have her pumpkin carved at all this year (usually she gets a little pumpkin and we let her color all over it and that's it!). Kimber and dad got creative with her pumpkin and made some big ol' teeth to match Kimber's!

Kimber's master piece, kinda looks like her

with her new big teeth growing in! hehehe

Pumpkin Patch for Craig B.'s Family...

Picking our pumpkins out in the pumpkin patch!Hauling our pumpkins over to be weighed.

The total weight for 3 pumpkins was over 60 pounds!

The self-made pumpkin launcher!
We got to see a pumpkin launched
way up in the air and across the road to a field.
It was totally cool!

Huge tires!

We had such a good time going to the pumpkin patch. We went to a new one this year and loved it so much, we're planning on going there next year. Not only did we get our pumpkins, we got to see pumpkins being launched in the air, we got to play in old cars and sit on huge tractors, go in a maze, see some minature ponys and see some mountain goats. It was a great evening!

Harvest Day for Kelsey

Kelsey's Kindergarten class went on a field trip to

the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.

Mom got to tag along and be Kelsey's buddy for the day.

What a great way to spend the day!

Kelsey with her Green Pumpkin,

we had such a short summer that not all the pumpkins turned orange!
The "hay ride" we took around the orchard.

Kelsey picking her apple, yummy!!!

Trunk or Treat

We had a Trunk Or Treat with our Ward. The girls had a blast trying out their costumes. (Our trunk or treat was 2 weeks before Halloween.) The girls got some practice in (getting candy) and looked great in their costumes.

Khloe was a bride, Kelsey was Snow White and Kimber was Sleeping Beauty...

Been awhile...

Well, we've been experiencing some computer problems, so it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Hopefully we will get the computer up and running soon so I can post some pictures. Our laptop works, but my pics are on my PC. We had a fun October with Halloween, costumes, trick or treat and trunk or treat. Hope to post some more info real soon!

Unexpected Trip to California...

We had to make an unexpected trip to California for my Grandma's Funeral. So Craig, Khloe and I boarded a plane to go to Grandma's funeral. Kimber & Kelsey stayed home with Craig's mom.

We are sorry to lose Grandma, but know that she is in a better place.

We miss our grandma, but are grateful for the legacy she has left us.

We had fun visiting with extended family whom we don't get to see very often. The funeral was very nice and we are glad we were able to go.
