Halloween 2011

We had an entire weekend full of Halloween plans this year but because of some bug Kallon brought home from school I ended up being sick so most of our plans were cancelled. I was a little upset because this year I actually made costumes for Cory and I. We still managed to have a fun Halloween and enjoyed the time we spent together. Kallon decided he was going to be black Spiderman this year opposed to last year which he was regular Spiderman and Kate was Ariel. Saturday night we went to our ward truck or treat and the kids got a ton of candy. Tonight for whatever reason Kallon decided he was going to be a knight instead of black Spiderman. We took the kids around our neighborhood for some good old fashioned trick or treating. This is the first time we have ever gone in Texas we've always gone to the truck or treats and called it good. It's funny to me that most people sit out in their lawn chairs on the drive way waiting for the kids to come by. I don't blame them it was a wonderful 79 degrees outside, it's just too darn cold to do that in Idaho. Again, for the few houses we went to the kids made out with way too much candy, I think we will be getting a visit from the candy fairy in the next few days.




Don't mind me still not feeling 100%

The Loot

New

We have had a few changes around our house lately, some big and some not so big but still exciting. First of all Kate got a big girl bed. As Cory and I were setting up the bed Kate kept saying over and over again, "this is so wonafull (wonderful)." Everyday she tells me she loves her bed and I have to go in there and look at with her. I'm very happy that she loves it.




Second, we redid our front yard area. It looked terrible before so we laid the black plastic down put red bark over it and planted a few flowers in a pot. I still isn't quite finished but it looks much better than it did.



Third we brought this addition home last week. With baby number three on the way we needed to upgrade to a car where we could all ride safely. I love our little Toyota but we just could not fit three seats safely in the back. We ended up getting a really good deal and it was too good to pass up. Kallon and Kate love it! They think they are hot stuff getting to be up high. I think it will be a good car for our family.




Other than that life is about the same. We are all happy and healthy and realize we are so very blessed. I don't know if its the pregnancy or what but I am so emotional lately. I am overwhelmed at the the many blessings our little family has been given.
