5th Birthday Pictures

I have been loving taking your birthday pictures for the last 4 years. I had daddy and Nanny there as helping me. 
We went up to Sundance Resort and took pictures. It was pretty chilly so, you wore your batman jacket which you then had to show off your muscles. You are always making us laugh.

I had to really bribe you with your cupcake to get these pictures. You were cold and hungry. I am happy with what I got.

You were super excited to get you green frosting skull vanilla cupcake. I was killing you making you wait for one more picture.


The skull got stuck on your finger and it tickled your funny bone.

These picture below shows your true personality.

October Happenings

Being a kid is rough sometimes. You didn’t want to walk so you laid on the flat bed cart while we shopped around Costco.

The beginning of October was absolutely beautiful weather. We played a lot outside playing in dirt, collecting rocks,  and running around the yard.

We started a new Halloween tradition. You got new Halloween PJ’s, ate pizza in the living room, watch Hotel Transylvania movie, and ate Halloween sugar cookies.

For playgroup we went to the Beam Museum Discovery reading  where you got to look closely at a tracheas.

For Sunday’s General Conference dinner we had a early Canadian Thanksgiving dinner. Daddy and you worked on prepping the bird.


While watching General Conference you guys tied yourselves up were in  jail.

The primary put on BBQ and pioneer stories in the field for all the primary children. We had fun eating hotdogs, chips and s’mores around the warm fire. We listened to two pioneer stories and then played games.

A couple of day before Halloween we went on the Provo River Halloween cruise where they told us a spooky story while going down the river.  This is another new tradition to our month of October.

Madcat jumped on your lap and just laid there. You told me to take a picture and send it to daddy.

We had our Halloween Ward Party. We ate yummy chili, rolls, Krispy Krème donuts, and went trunk or treating in the freezing cold.

On October 30th, we watched the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and then craved our pumpkins.
This is how Daddy and I meet. At an FHE activity craving pumpkins. It was just him and I craving the pumpkin. We had a good laugh how daddy played handises with me because he like me while pulling out the guts.

Halloween

Every year for the past 5 years I take a nice picture in your costumes. This year you were so much fun as you posed yourself and full of life. We love you Captain America! 

Our friends the Brunner’s came down from Spring City to spend the evening with us. When they arrived we had you kids cut out Halloween sugar cookies and decorated them we spent the rest of the time visiting and playing.
My parents came over and we ate delicious white chicken chili that the Brunner's made with homemade bread from my dear friend Amy. You guys being super crazy and excited to get candy, it was impossible to keep you kids under control. It was time to get you ready in your costumes.  
The weather was perfect, just a lite sweater was needed.  The three of you had so much fun running from door to door. If someone didn’t answer you guys would take turns opening the door and try to walk in.  It was hilarious.
(Spider Man aka Carson, A fairy aka Danielle and Captain American aka You)

My camera started taking some crazy scary pictures.

We went around the block and it was just enough. Your bags were full of candy and we came home put on The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown show and while eating lots and lots of candy.  Halloween was a success, it was even better having friends come along and share the excitement.
Me: What was your favorite thing about Halloween?
You: When I was getting treats!
