Halloween

This year for Halloween we decided to go as the characters from Monsters, Inc. Since buying costumes for the characters we wanted to be would have been super expensive, I decided to make them. I'm not a master seamstress by any means, and I did the easiest version of the characters as possible. Daddy's costume was finished completely, and I messed up on the sleeves. (The only things I've really sewn before have been quilts. Way easier than clothes!) And, I didn't actually make my costume, Daddy did, sort of...It was my idea, but since it was duct tape, I couldn't really do it myself.

We didn't go trick-or-treating. Instead we went to our ward's (church's) Halloween party and took the kids to the trunk-or-treat afterwards. We had a lot of fun and by the time we left the kids were pretty tuckered out. It was a fun night! On Sunday we let the kids eat almost all of their candy. They didn't get a whole lot, but it's nice to have most of it gone.

So this isn't Halloween related, but I thought it was cute. Daddy was watching a football game on the laptop, and Monster decided he wanted to watch, too. So he sat right down in Daddy's lap, and I was actually able to get a picture of it. Shortly after this, Monster got up and Teeny decided she wanted to watch for a minute. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture of her and Daddy.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
