3 Reasons...

3 Reasons...WE LOVE HALLOWEEN...

1) Dressing up

Kids dressed up for a Halloween Primary Party! Dan was by far, the scariest kid there! Hailee was super cute--a butterfly!

2) Dressing up and going to parties

We all dressed up to attend the annual Haunted Woods in our neighborhood.

Mike wore a mask and scared the neighborhood children. Natalie was a Black Widow. Danny was Nevro--the phantom, and Hailee was a ghost bride...we left Jared out of this one.

3) Dressing up and free candy!

Halloween night was fun and frightening! We were a skeleton army!

We were the scariest right when it started getting dark!

Family Picture Extravaganza!

New Family Pictures!

My sister Jeni took our family pictures yesterday!

The fall colors were beautiful!

She's always happy!

Hailee is a happy girl. She loves to make people laugh!

This was her idea, but Mike made the cute smile and lips!

A couple hours to myself...

I enjoyed a day of awesome Yard-sale-ing!

I got some great finds...warm clothes for Jared, organizers, magnet boards...

stick around and wait for Christmas...

Loved to watch General Conference.

Amazing to me how often they just counsel us to love one another...shouldn't be so hard--right?

During the Priesthood session, I rearranged the kids room!

Moved the beds, dressers, everything!

Added a couple yard sale finds to the room and "Perfection!"

I was lucky enough to finish off the night

cardmaking and stamping...

This is a first time "posting my finished project" for me, but here is the card I made!

It has 4 layers that make the Haunted House have dimension!

It was really fun to make...now who to send it to????

Can't stop the change...

Thinking about when Anakin leaves his mom and says he doesn't want things to change.

She says "but you cannot stop the change"...

ME, Kirsten, Mike, Sheri, Melanie

Mike and I met 10 years ago on Halloween

It amazes me how fast the time has gone, and yet, it feels as though we've been together for our entire lives! We have been through all manner of changes, trials, and fun together!

I love Mike more than the day I met him, and more each day I'm with him!

I love my kids too...and for now, they still think I am

"super cool mom"!

Daniel is 7--strong, patient, loving, kind, reading, writing, craves learning, smarty!

Hailee is 5--independent, beautiful, funny, smart, self-motivated, happy, sunny!

Jared is 1, patient, loving, happy, sleepy, fun, dimples!

So it is clear that I cannot stop the change...

I love it, and I am trying to enjoy every minute of it!
