Happy Halloween!!!!!

Ellie was the cutes little pumpkin... she loved her costume and wanted to where the hat to bed.

The Trick or Treat Gang... they were die hard... we loaded them all in the van and drove throught the sleet and rain to "get them some candy". Then we gave up and came home to watch halloween specials, eat the candy, and the rain finally cleared up... wha, wha, wha!!!! Still a really fun time.

This is what happens to brody at bedtime (not just on halloween)... He becomes a bloodsucking monster.

Watch out, she's a maneater!

Just so cute... ready for the ward halloween party and walking all over the place!

Broken Thumb... what a worl' what a worl'!

So, if you know me well, you know I am not known for my gracefulness... but I have really outdone myself this time: while on a jog I tripped on a seam in the concrete and went down straight on the tip of my thumb breaking it in 3 places at the first joint, several hairline fractures at the second and also sprained at the base of the thumb... ugh! So now I have a deformed digit and will probably need to have a pin inserted in it so it will heal correctly. No fun.

So ridiculous!

I need a vacation!

Brody and Ellie's Birthday Bash!

Ellie's first piece of cake. She started out with a fork but abandoned it after a few bites... just too good to mess with utensils!

The only thing we don't have to bribe him to eat... cake! It's amazing he's made it to 4!

This was a fiasco... Brody spit out the candles and then tried to wipe it clean. Not the most appetizing thing to do.

Her favorite present were these pretty pink shoes... she loved them.

Brody's favorite present... the Color Changers! He has been obsessed ever since (fun in the bath tub until he dumps the ice water on his sister or mom)


Overall the party was great fun and very chaotic!

New Place!

So we are all moved over to the new place as of Sunday night. It is so nice to have our own space and be closer to town, etc. We love our new little neighborhood with the jogging path and hidden playgrounds and our big backyard with the swingset. Becca and Marc came for the first time yesterday for Pizza night and their whole family fit nicely in the hammock. So much fun. John and Ronni, we can't wait for you guys to come and stay with us on the way to Idaho. I will post pics soon. We haven't gotten our internet up and running yet so I am on the folks computer. Anyhoo, anyone who comes into Utah is welcome to stay with us!
