Halloween 2007

We just got back from trick or treating at the the church Halloween party.  Its nice because the kids get to trick or treat inside and its all people we know.  They got plenty of candy and there are also little games in the gym with little prizes too.

Here are the pictures of us all dressed up.

Here is me with the kids.  This year I told them they had to be stuff that we already had costumes for.  Kyler reused my witch attire to be a wizard.  Tayden reused Kyler's sumo suit from last year.  Ady wanted to be a fairy godmother.  The wings are reused from her first birthday.  We did end up buying her a dress though.  She loves purple and was very insistent.   She will get plenty of use out of it though, because she loves to dress up. ( I wonder where she gets that from :) )  I wanted to wear a blond wig, so I ended up being a rock star-ish trashy blond I guess. My friends kept asking if I was Anna Nicole Smith or if Dave has a thing for blonds... he doesnt, by the way.  I already owned the pleather pants and disco shirt, believe it or not. The kids and I talked Dave into being a detective.  Ady originally wanted to be a detective but changed her mind yesterday.  So we made Dave do it. It was his hat that she would have used anyway.

 ( He looks a little tired, huh?  He has had a very stressful week.)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Halloween really is one of my favorite holidays. I love to dress up! So I thought it would be fun to show you some pictures from Halloweens past.

October 1999

We were the Dead bride and groom for our Utah wedding reception.

Halloween 1999

We were hippies.

Halloween 2001

Kyler was a Spider and Mommy was the Spider's web

Daddy was the moth that the spider catches in his web.

On the left is Kyler's friend Lillian as a cute little Devil. And of course Kyler is stealing her sucker :)

Halloween 2002

We all went as Scarecrows

Halloween 2004

The kids went as zoo animals and Dave and Heather were Zoo keepers.

(Ady was a newborn and went as a little lion)

I wish I had more pictures of us from this Halloween.

Halloween 2005

The boys were ghosts, Dave and Heather dressed in 80's clothes and

Ady was a cute little ballerina

2006

Kyler wanted to be Kirby (a Nintendo character) which is basically just a big pink ball, so we bought a big sumo wrestler suit and covered it with pink fabric. Tayden and Ady were the Wonderpets and I was a witch. I don't remember what Dave was.

As you can see I don't have any pictures from 2000 or 2003 , so if any of you have pictures of us from those years, please email them to me! In 2000 I was pregnant with Kyler and we went as Bees to pass out candy at the church. In 2003 I think Kyler was a pumpkin and Tayden was a spider. Heather was a witch and Dave was a ghost.

Tomorrow I will post pictures of what we are going as this year.

You will have to wait in suspense :)

Doll house

We celebrated the October Birthdays with my extended family on Saturday. It was a lot of fun to have them all up to our house. My Aunt Debbie and Cousin Jenny were here for the first time. We had 4 birthdays to celebrate; Ady, My cousin Jenny, My Brother-in-law, Mark and my Grandma.

Dave has been working for about 6 weeks on making a doll house for Ady for her birthday. It isn't quite finished yet, but we went ahead and gave it to her on Saturday because some of the presents she was getting were for the doll house. Dave is still planning to fill the screw holes, stain it and put a back on it, but for the most part it is all done. It turned out so much better than I imagined it would. Dave spent a lot of time on it and did an excellent job. He pays a lot of attention to the details and does such an amazing job when I give him the time. :)

Here is a picture of it. We are going to let her enjoy it for a few weeks before we take it back to the garage to finish it. As you can see she doesn't have a whole lot in it yet, but for Christmas we will be giving her more furniture and little rugs and things for it.

TV Stars!

My friend sent me an email today saying her son had seen Tayden and Ady on TV. She didn't believe him at first, but they paused the DVR and rewound it and sure enough there they were, so she emailed me to let me know. Last year Ady and Tayden were The Wonder Pets for Halloween and on the Nick Jr website last winter there was a place to submit pictures of your child dressed as the Wonder Pets and they might be featured on the website or the TV. I saw their picture on the website right away after I had submitted it and that was fun, but we didn't really think any more about it until now.

My friend recorded it to her DVR and took a picture for me. Fun stuff!

 

 Tayden was a guinea pig named Linny and Ady was a duck named Ming Ming, there is a third Wonder Pet that is a turtle named Tuck and he is in Tayden's Basket.
