Trick Or Treat

Happy Halloween! The kids really enjoyed their costumes this year. They all looked great! I have to say this was one of the least stressful years. Yay me! Matthew patiently waited for this group picture, and then he was off to spend the evening with his friends. It helps my nerves to know that he has a fantastic group of friends and that we live in a wonderful and safe neighborhood. He had a blast! The girls had so much fun trick-or-treating...their bags got heavy quick. It lightly sprinkled on us at the beginning, but that didn't stop us. The temperature was so nice! We didn't have to bundle up this year! After 2 hours and hitting just about every house in the Ward we called it a night. The kids are already talking about what they want to be next year. I'm glad I have a year to plan. We love Halloween!

Angela said...: Holy cow! Your family has had a very fun and busy October!!! The kids are darling for Halloween. I looka t the picture of the kids at the door trick or treating and it reminded me of when Matthew was 4 and Kynlee and Blake were 2 and we were trick or treating together as Capt. Hook, Tinkerbell and Peter Pan!! I miss those days.

I have to admit that reading everything you've had going on with Matthew made me cry! I can't believe how old he is getting and how quickly the time has flown. It makes me think about Blake doing those same things in just 2 years.

And on top of all your visitors and family events, you look FANTASTIC!!!!! Seriously. Oh, and I love the costuming of you and Matt. Classic.; November 2, 2008 at 11:55 AM

You Put A Smile On My Face With The Funny Things You Say

Kenzie got dressed for Kindergarten and she put on a turtle neck. When I asked how she wanted me to do her hair, she insisted I did it like a turtle's!:)

When Kynlee was just 5 years old, she had a friend named Sam. He was over playing one day, and when I asked her what kind of sandwich she wanted she said, "I want Sam...I mean ham!"

Matthew really has his heart set on playing in the NBA. He knows that they play games on Sundays, so his solution to making it to church and taking the sacrament is, "I will just ask my Ward if they can always meet at the early block, and I'll repent on the airplane if it is an away game!"

Mom: "Deep down I don't think it is a good idea."

Karley: "In your feet?"

Kenzie is a polite little girl. I overheard her talking in her sleep one night saying, "No thanks." She even uses her manners while dreaming.

Karley found one of her toys that had been broken and said, "Whoever did this is going to pay the bill!"

Driving over the Glen Canyon Dam on our way down to AZ, Kynlee said, "The beavers must have worked hard on this one!"

When Matthew was 2 yrs. old, we went to the airport to pick Matt up from a work trip. Matthew was looking out the window, watching the airplanes take-off and said, "Look Mom! That airplane is doing a pop-a-wheelie!"

Kenzie likes to pinch our cheeks and say, "You chubby cheeks." One day I had her in the shower with me and she pinched my behind and said, "You chubby butt!"
