Halloween 2010

For the last few years we have taken the kids to a trunk or treat put on by a local church. It is huge and the kids really enjoy it. This year Nathan dressed up as an army dude and Kylee was a light blue glitter crayon...okay so I added the glitter to her costume:)

Scott did the painting of Nathan's face. He has warrior markings as well as a cut with stitches along his cheek.

Here is the pretty crayon. I sprayed her hair, body, and outfit with glitter and then did some glitter around her eyes.
Here is baby Ben the cutest little ninja. We met and Traci's house and went trunk or treating with his family.

Cameron, Nathan, Jake, Ben and Kylee ready to go.

Here are the kids plus Kylee and Nathan's friend Addie who we ran into while waiting in line for trunk or treat.

Watch out for him he just may get you!

So pretty. Gotta love the photo bomb by Addie:)

Here they are trunk or treating. Another fun and safe Halloween. Thank you to Church of Celebration.

Our last few months

Since I have been horrible with blogging I figured I would post a few pictures wrapping up our last few months in photos.

Nathan lost his front tooth, and yes that is Scott taking a picture of me taking a picture of his lost tooth...Doesn't he look cute! Tonight he lost another tooth while we were at the movies and he was chewing malt balls. He handed it to me, malt ball goo and all, thanks buddy.

Nathan, Kylee and Jake started golf lessons. Scott is determined to get one of them golfing with him. So far all three are doing really well. They all seem to be enjoying it too. It doesn't look like it here, but it is freezing during lessons. Kylee also started soccer...I need to remember winter sport practices are stinking cold next time I sign them up.Grandma came out to visit during Fall break. We were able to spend a lot of time with my Grandparents which was great. Here we went to Apache Days in Globe. It was a lot of fun and we were able to experience some authentic Indian dancers and of course fry bread:) The kiddos liked the ice cream truck.

Here we all are sitting down eating fry bread.

Each of the kiddos got a flute just like Great Grandpas. They thought that was pretty neat.

One of the dances we were able to see.

We were also able to go see BashBaGowah ruins in globe. Kylee was learning about Indian ruins at school so it was fun for her to get to see some in person. Here she is with Great Grandpa entering the ruins.

Great Grandpa helping Nathan climb to the second level. These ruins were neat because you got to actually go inside and upstairs. It is interesting to see how they were put together and how people used to live.

Great Grandpa, the kids an myself inside one of the ruins.

Kiddos peaking in the windows and doors.

On our way to the ruins we took a side trip to see the wagon tracks. Here is Grandma, Great Grandparents and the kiddos in search of the wagon tracks.

Grandma and the Great Grandparents, I love this picture!

We found them:) These are actual wagon tracks that are pretty deep. A neat piece of history to show the kids.

Super cute picture of Grandma and Kylee:)

Kylee before a football game. Her eye black says you're toast. She did so well this season. She scored a couple touchdowns and even got an interception! We were so proud.

Kona's favorite treat, a cow leg. She works on that thing and will have it gone in 3-4 days. Quietest few days we have with her!

Gotta love Kona kisses. Nathan and Kona are definitely buddies. I think Kona thinks Nathan is a puppy too. Don't you just love that face! Although she likes to open doors, go through cat doors, jump up on you, knock Nathan over, drag Kylee along the ground when she tries to walk her, chase the cats, oh and eat anything lying around, edible or not, I think she is the best puppy we could have gotten.

Kylee's 10th Birthday

Kylee turned 10 years old on October 4th. I can't believe we have a 10 year old! The years with her have been amazing. She has such a kind and loving heart...even though she has a pre-teen attitude that sneaks up now and then:) She has and always will be my little princess.

This was one of my favorite pictures of her when she was three. We went to Tahoe with my family and she kicked back and did a little sun bathing.

This picture was foreshadowing the pre-teen attitude mentioned above. Gotta love it!

All time favorite picture of Jace and Kylee. They really did have a blast while we lived there. I miss that.

10 year old Kylee. Birthday morning. We let her open one present before school.

I went a little crazy at Justice...man that place is like heaven for little girls.

Ash couldn't keep away from the ribbons on her presents. We caught him trying to eat them off the gifts.

Grandpa gave Kylee what any 10 year old would want $100 is $1 bills!

Kylee super excited for her Justice purse.

Nathan's face is classic in this one.

I know what you're thinking that is such a professional cake, how did she do it? Really it was the thought that counts right!

Grandma flew in to throw Kylee a cupcake birthday party with her friends. Here she is opening one of her presents. Note the cutie cupcake apron grandma brought her.

Here are the girls masterpieces. Each girl got to make an inner tube person, a ducky, a baby and a mummy cupcake. Their final cupcake was a personal creation using anything we had.

Here are all the personal creations. There were 10 girls so I put all 10 cupcakes together to form her birthday cake. So cute!After she blew out candles the girls got to eat a cupcake. Then of course sugar filled girls ended up frosting each other. I think it was a fantastic 10th birthday party!! Thanks grandma:)
