Halloween costumes

"Don't let her cuteness fool you." Tonight she has been a nightmare...especially after kids don't now how to keep Halloween candy up off the floor...

She has learned how to shake though (then she will bite you)

Joseph dropped his pumpkin and it split in half, so after the tears had dried, we duct taped it together to make it a mummy jack-o-lantern.

Our Ward Halloween Chili Cook-off and Trunk or Treat was last night, here the kids are all ready in their costumes. It was a fun night.

This one was from Meg and Joseph's school Halloween parties

Brent dressed up for Halloween this year too :) (not so sure the Stake Pres. should see these pictures ;)

Hello Pumpkin

We took the kids for FHE to pick out their pumpkins, here is what they picked out:

They were excited. I, for one, have a lot of carving to do before Halloween. The kids, in the past, think it is eewww to pull the guts out of them, so we will see who will help me this year.

I hope you like pictures :)

I don't think I will ever take a month off again.....

So here we go, catch up time.....

I started with around June and they go till the present.....

Daniel doesn't look so excited but he enjoyed the parade for the 4th of July

This past summer we had many fashion shows at our house, here is Sarah modeling some

If you didn't know, you know now...Brent was called as Bishop of our ward the last week in June, here he is in all his handsomeness for the very first full Sunday as Bishop Bean :)

In 1 1/2years we had 3 cats pass away, so what do you do when you have an animal die...??? get a new one...here is Mischief, our kitten, he liked to sleep in the pantry on all our empty grocery bags. (we do miss our other cats though who aren't with us now, they were great cats)

Our other kitten, Tigger, sleeping with the new kitty

Megan and Tigger are great buddies :)

The kids also had fun this summer running in the sprinklers a few times.

The kittens..not so much :) hahaha

Megan's first day of 4th grade

Joseph's first day of 2nd grade

They look more excited in this picture than they were to go to school again after summer break.

He really was this happy to be home though after school

And Daniel was sooooo excited to see his big sis!

Then, as if 4 kids and 3 cats weren't enough, we got a puppy!!

Daisy's first day home. She is adorable, which is a good thing because at 13 weeks old now, she isn't so fun...

The kids could actually pet her when she was this little, but now they only pet her if they want to get bit.

Isn't she adorable!!!

We set up our tent in the back yard, I am afraid this is as close to camping as we get.

Oh, and did I mention Joseph got glasses?! Isn't he handsome?!

And Sarah is a beauty!

Sarah's first day of preschool! I love her attitude :)

Brent singing Karaoke at a ward party...that was fun!

She's so sweet

Grapes are yummy!
