Early Halloween Party

We had an early Halloween party, so Ammon could be here for it. He came for a visit and so did Kim and Josh. It has been fun getting to see them!
We had some really good food!


Carmel apples are one of my favorite Halloween treats :)
I thought our food turned out cute! We all had ideas and we threw them together and this is what we got. It was fun :)
We played some fun games! One was the doughnut one....which you can see how Vern played..



Ammon won, by the way....
The other was digging for treasure in guts.....gross! The kids loved it and Mayzie loved watching...

Chance put his whole face in. It made every ones hands red. Amys were stained red! We had lots of fun and we are glad that Ammon, Kim and Josh could be a part of it!!

Allison is Here!

Hanna had her precious baby girl on Saturday. She was one of her smaller ones, weighing 8 pounds 7 ounces and was 22 inches long. I got to go see her come into the world. It was a special experience and I am glad they let me be a part of it! We love you little Allison!!

Molly came for a visit and so she had to see the baby before she left, so I hitched a ride with her and Rachel. Little Laila is 2 weeks old, so it was fun to take pictures of them together!


We were surrounded by baby cuteness!!
Aunt Stetsy painted Laila's toenails....

Number 9

We celebrated Leahs birthday on Friday. I made this cake for her, because I could not come up with another idea. She loved it though and that's all that matters!
She got to have a friend over and some cousins of course! We all had fun! The kids talked us into having a sleep over, so Amy took Daniel, Emma took Isabelle, and we kept Chance. Danielle ans Leahs friend Bailey slept over too. They all had a great time! Chance and Gracie spent most of their time building a fort in the trees. Leah and Bailey made bracelets and then they all played school. We had a really good weekend :)
I love this picture of Leah! It is so her! It's hard to believe she is 9! Here is a few things about Leah: She loves animals, stuffed animals, teasing, her family, school (she is a very good student and likes to get all her assignments done and get good grades), and she loves to help with Mayzie. She keeps us laughing daily and we just love her so much!!
It was Grandpas birthday on Friday, so we sang to him too and he had a different cake that was not all flowerey:) Here he is singing happy birthday to himself with all the kids...lol.
This is my attempt at fall decorating.......

This picture is out of order....oh well..

The First Freeze

We had our first freeze last week. It seems way too early for it to be freezing! We covered up our tomatoes and squash so they would not freeze. It worked well!
We picked all our pumpkins. It is so exciting to have our own pumpkins!

Laila

We got to go see Little Laila last night. She was 7 pounds 19 inches. She is so precious and I just love her!! Rachel is doing good, for just having a baby :)Her bow was too big for her head...
I wish I looked this good after having a baby!
Any day now Hanna will have hers :) We were joking that she should lay down in the bed and have her baby too.
We love you little Laila! Welcome to this crazy world!

Temple

I got the opportunity to go to the Temple with Mel and Brianna last weekend. I am so glad that I got to experience that special day with them! It was such a beautiful day! The spirit was so strong and I feel so blessed to be a part of such and amazing family! I looked around at my family and felt so blessed! Not everyone was able to make it and we missed all of them! The sealer was so good and I learned so much! He explained things in a way that I have never heard. We were all so emotional! I try to keep the tears from coming, but it is and was impossible! It was a beautiful day!! I can't wait until Vern can go with me again and he can share these special experiences!
Thanks for sharing your special day with us! We love you!!

SeVeN

Daniel turned 7 last week. Next year he will be able to get baptized. I can't get over how fast time flies! He wanted to go to Grandma Bundys for his birthday, so we did.. I attempted to make owl cupcakes. The kids thought they were fun :)


He got lego and was so excited! Kaden was too :)
We had cake with Amys boys and Grandma and Grandpa Seely the next day.

We love our little Daniel! He loves: Lego, cars, tools, animals, his sisters, to tease, torment, hug, get into our bed in the morning, box his dad, anything with caramel, and he loves to talk. Vern says he gets the talking part from me, which I am sure he does:) He makes our lives exciting and we love him so much!!

Phone Pictures

We play a lot outside and the kids love to play in this bucket of water. Most of the time it is just Isabelle, Mazyzie and I, while the other kids are a t school. The put rocks, dirt, barbies, or what ever else they can think of. It keeps them busy for a long time. Mayzie was thinking it was a little cold..

I have so many pictures on my phone, when I don't have my camera, I have my phone. The pictures are random, but fun at the same time.

Leah was so excited on the first day of school, that she laid her clothes out the night before like this......
Daniel did a self portrait of himself.... I LOVE it :) They are the Diamond Backs at school, hence the snake in the corner......It makes me smile every time I look at it!



This is what Isa's hair looks like in the morning sometimes.....

Gracie loves to give Mayzie shoulder rides and as you can see, she loves it too....

Daniels class dressed up in western clothes, because it was the Dixie Round up. He usually wears his boots and wranglers, but he got to wear his hat this time.

mmmm Ice cream, needless to say her car seat needed to be hosed down.....but she enjoyed it!!

Daniel loves to play with her....
I think it is time for a diaper change...
