HAPPY HALLOWEEN-2007

Ahhhh, another crazy Halloween. I took Adylin and Matthew to my work today and they had so much fun trick-or-treating. I forgot my camera, but my mom took pictures....when I get them, I'll post them. My mom took the babies home and I went to Tanner's class to be "room mom" LUCKY ME!!!!! Here's Tanner as scooby doo. I was so busy with the party, I didn't take any other pictures...but we made really cute bats, decorated cookies, bingo and musical chairs. The kids had a blast! I am really happy it's over!

After Tanner's party, we went to my parents house for dinner and then off to Davis' parents. Here's cute little Lauren as a pig!
We hurried home to "trick-or-treat" with Russ and his two girls Olivia (duck) and Whitney (cinderella) Aren't these the cutest girls ever!!!!
I apologize I didn't get any great pictures of the kiddos. But Adylin was an elephant and Matthew was a giraffe. They had so much fun.

We left the second house and Davis went to back up the wagon and ran over Whitney...knocking her to the ground. It was so sad and she cried and cried! Russ had to hold her for the next few houses. FIRST STRIKE!!!!!!

We picked up McKay and his Dad......
Sydney and her Dad, for a moment.

Here's Parker...such a cute spiderman. He came with his Dad and brother.

Carson....another spiderman....

Matthew

I LOVE this picture. I tried to get Davis to dress as Fred, Ady Daphne, Matthew as shaggy and me as Velma....it was a no go...so we were THRILLED to see the Kessler's. We had to take a picture of them with Tanner.

We ran into the Colton's..here's cute little Haley.

And Lee has the best make-up ever!!! Way to go Jake!!!

After these pictures were taken, we went to the next house. I was pushing a stroller, pulling a wagon and watching Matthew. All of a sudden Davis says, "Holly, do you have Whitney?" NO...I started yelling "WHITNEY!!!!!!" We were running all over and then we hear a voice say, "We have her!" She had gotten mixed up with another group and wandered off with them. We were so frightened. SECOND STRIKE!!!!

Two houses later. Matthew laid on the ground refusing to get up....I figured he was DONE!

I did at least get him to look up!!! LOL So after this I grabbed Matthew...ran back to Russ and Amy's house to get the van. I caught up with Davis and he was standing in someone's garage cleaning Tanner up.

I guess Tanner missed a step on someone's porch and got WHACK!!! face plant. He was bleeding pretty good and got a bloody nose and lip. STRIKE THREE!!!! We're going home. I loaded the kids in the van and we left.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! See you next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Punkin' Patching with the cousins

Ady has been fascinated with pumpkins this year. I've told her a few times well get one, but we haven't gotten around to it yet. My Mom had Lexi, Seth and Dylan this last weekend, so she thought it would be great to go to the pumpkin patch.

Lex, Ady and matthew searching for the perfect pumpkin.

Lex, Tanner, Dylan and Seth.
Matty-tao, just wanted to run around, he wasn't nearly as interested in the pumkins as Grandma.
Riding in the cart.

This is one of my favorite pictures!

The prized posessions.
The kids had to have lunch before we could go to the pumpkin patch, so Lexi set up a tea party for Ady and Matthew. It was so cute and they LOVED it!!!!

Red Butte Field Trip

Davis went on a field trip with Tanner's class to Red Butte Gardens. I was really bummed I didn't get to go, especially since I've never been and I hear it's beautiful.

My cute Tanner!!!!

Kids in the class.
Walking the trails.
I love the look on the kids faces. I have no idea what they are looking at. I should get Davis to tell you of the "adventure." hahaha
Yes, no kids, but very pretty!!!!!
Tanner came home very proud that he ate a flower and saw bats. Maybe Mom will get to go on the next one.

SHARE WALK in St. Louis

Adylin and I made the 3 hour flight to St. Louis leaving 9 am Friday morning and coming home 9 am Sunday morning. She did really well on the flights, especially since we had to be at the airport by 7am. :)
Here's the group in our hotel room. I brought Adylin, Hilary brought Hayden and Chris brought little Elliot. I was so happy to meet all these wonderful ladies and our cutie pie rainbows.

Hayden kept jumping on our bed an then she attacked me.

We went to dinner with all the Share friends (30 of us) and Miss Ellie had about 5 of these butters...it was hilarious.

On the train ride at the St. Louis zoo.

At the zoo....Hayden and Ady.

We went to the Angel of Hope after the walk.

Playing with the Cousins

My kids loved the summer. Our trampoline at Grandmas house got loads of use. They even got to play with Isabelle, Lexi and Seth. WAHOO!!!

Matthew loved Grandmas apple tree.

Dishes at Grandma's

Ady LOVES to do the dishes at Grandma's house. This time she included Matthew. I'm still not sure why they like it, or why Grandma lets them do it...especially with all the water on the floor.

Can you say "Diarreah?!?!" Ewwwww, Matthew!!!!
