Kylee's Wedding Reception

Kylee is my step-sister and she got married today in the Draper Temple. Brandon and I went to her reception tonight.

My Dad is here from Arizona for the week. Him and Paisley are buddies.

I didn't get any good pics of her, but Kylee was so beautiful! Her new hubby, Matt, is an awesome guy... I'm so happy for them.

This is my step-grandma, Paulene. She is the sweetest lady on the planet - without a doubt! :)

The rest of my step-family lives in Arizona and they were all here tonight... I need to do better at taking pics of everyone. It was great seeing them. :)

Bubbles!

Emmy is excited to have bubbles in the tub. I have a removable shower head, so I always give them a quick shower... its been a long time since she's played in a bath. 

They both get staph infection and MRSA very easily is why I don't give them baths, but it's been over a year since they've enjoyed a bubble bath! I'll let them be kids tonight, and pray they don't get an infection.

Paisley is washing Emmy's back.

They are giggling like crazy and having a ball together! :)

Yard Work

Will is doing some yard work with his Dad... on a larger scale.

They brought in some loads of dirt. Brandon is raising the ground level in the pasture to be even with the lawn. I think he wants to extend the grass area and grow a huge garden on the rest of our pasture next spring. This is another reason why he removed two trees a few weeks ago.

Dumping dirt.

Good work boys. :)

Abbee's Basketball Game

This is Abbee's first year playing basketball. She is the tallest girl on her team and plays the center position. 

She towers over some of the girls. She's great at gathering rebounds. I'm so proud of her for trying a new sport this year. Great job Abbee!

Baylee's Basketball Game

Fall basketball has started. Baylee seems to like basketball better than soccer.

Baylee scored the first 2 points! She made 2 baskets during the game. 

Bay is a great defender, and she is one of the better shooters on her team. 

Way to go Girl!

Happy Halloween!

I just woke up the twins to come to the trunk-r-treat... they're both ornery and not in the mood for a picture! But Emmy did wear her plastic white M&M hands. :)

Will is ready to trunk-r-treat again.

This is the best pic I could get of them all in their costumes.

Summer made a cute Minnie Mouse, but she wouldn't let Sam put her down. Tony, Sam, and Summer came with us to get candy.

Paisley wanted her Daddy, so they gave out candy together.

The rest of us went trunk-r-treating... we ran into Baylee and Brinlee. They're hunters... :)

Abbee is a one-eyed monster.

Sam, Summer and Tony. 

Sam is 9 weeks pregnant with their 2nd.

Paisley joined us trunk-r-treating about half way through the parking lot.

Kalyssa ran off with her friends, Brooklyn and Kailee. We found them in here eating candy. :) Kambree is the little girl I tend once a week, she is a cute flower. She made my day... I ran into her at the costume parade at the school this morning. When she saw me she ran to give me a big hug. 

After the trunk-r-treat, we stopped at Lana's to say hi and get more candy.

Will has 2 buckets full.

Lana had a ton of candy, but we were her first trick-or-treaters of the night.

We went trick-or-treating at Grandma Mary Ann's next. Grandma is showing Paisley the huge bouncing spider.

Grandma had full size candy bars, fruit snacks, and chips... all of us took one of each!

We went to Mary's house for dinner and more trick-or-treating in her neighborhood. The kids are running around the house in their costumes.

Avrie is starting to walk!

Mary made us a yummy roast dinner. 

We're off trick-or-treating the old fashioned way... going from house to house. We're spoiled where I live... it takes less than 1 hour to get loaded with candy at a trunk-r-treat. :)

The twins are lucky, they're off to fill up their buckets for a 3rd time.

"Trick-or-Treat!?"

 We can't miss this lady's house, she gives out homemade doughnuts every year. It was so good!

Nate and Avrie.

Emmy is squealin', her blanket is caught under the wheel.

Kalyssa and her cousin Taylee. Taylee is such a sweet girl, but she doesn't like her picture taken. LOL. All their buckets were full again by 9:00pm. Will had a great time running from house to house with the girls. Kalyssa loved that she was able to hang out with her cousins tonight, cause we haven't spent Halloween with them for a few years. The twin's were happy riding in the stroller and sharing their candy with me and Brandon along the way. :)

Happy Halloween!

Halloween Costume Parade at the School

Kalyssa is an 80's girl for Halloween this year.

We're in the hall waiting for the costume parade to start.

When Kalyssa's class walked by us, she grabbed Will to finish walking in the parade with her. I never did see Abbee walk by. She must have had a wig on, so I missed her... but then again, I missed Kalyssa go by too. She had to yell at me to get my attention. LOL. I had two kids on my lap, give me a break. :o))-

We went back to the classroom afterwards to say goodbye. We visited Abbee in her class too, but she already took her costume off. The school won't let them wear the costumes all day.

Paisley and Emmy are M&M's this year... with cowboy boots.

Halloween Cards From Grandma

Paisley was happy about the Halloween card she got from her Grandma Mitzi!

The twins colored the inside of their cards (they have to color everything). Mitzi is so fun, she sends all our kids Halloween and Valentine's Day cards.
