Halloween Costumes

So this year our bishop suggested that we dress up as our favorite Book of Mormon characters, so I thought about it and came up with this...



Any guesses?????
Maybe more pictures will help...





If you guessed Santa Claus during his fall break you are wrong!

Blake is Lehi, I am the Tree of Life, and Jaylee is the fruit of the tree. I was pretty proud of the costumes because I made them and I think they turned out pretty dang good!

Our friends had pretty amazing costumes too




Our ward had a trunk or treat that we went to and we brought our cool pumpkins to show off and handed out candy. We thought we had plenty of candy but we ended up running out near the end because there were so many kids.




We brought candy there and came home empty handed, that's when we realized that Halloween isn't so great for parents. We can't wait till we can take Jaylee trick or treating so that we can eat her candy!

Pumpkin Carving

I absolutely love carving pumpkins, it has to be one of my favorite things of Halloween. Since this is our last year here in Spokane we went all out in school pride. Go Zags!

Greenbluff pumpkin patch

On Wednesday Jaylee and I went with a bunch of our girl friends to a pumpkin patch in Greenbluff. It was pretty cold but we had a lot of fun! We got to see a pumpkin fired from a cannon which was pretty awesome and enjoyed a huge cinnamon roll with amazing hot chocolate.


Don't you just love the cute pink bear outfit!

No No No

The other day I had Jaylee in her swing and I was talking to her and just happened to say no no no and shake my head and to my surprise she did it right back! I hurried and grabbed the camera and got it on film. (It's dang cute right now but it won't be later!)

Jaylee Update

So I can't believe our little girl is already 4 1/2 months old. Time has flown by and she is getting so big. She has had a lot of firsts in these last few weeks, like first time rolling over, first time laughing out loud, first time eating rice cereal, and she can now grab onto things (especially my hair!). She has now found her voice and loves to use it. Here is some cute pics of her



I also posted a couple of videos of her

Much needed Update

Sorry for not updating my blog. I spent almost all of August in Utah with my family. My brother Curtis is doing a lot better and is now in the physical therapy rehab center at the U of U. He spent about 4 weeks in the Intensive Care Unit where he under went at least 5 surgeries, it might have been more but I can't remember. When he first arrived at the hospital he had extensive internal bleeding and they had to remove his spleen because it had ruptured. He had a "brain drain" put in to control the pressure in his head and that has now been replaced with a brain shunt, he also had a tracheotomy done because he punctured his lung and broke 5 ribs and that has now been taken out. They figured that he must have had a stroke due to the trauma so his left side is weak but continually getting better and stronger everyday. He has been able to regain his ability to read, write and talk. Yesterday he was able to take a couple of steps using parallel bars and today he gets to eat his first real meal in weeks. We continually pray that these little miracles will continue each and every day. Thanks for all your love, prayers and support during this rough time for Curt and our family.
