Halloween Haunts!

Well, I'm not much of a BLOGGER! Here it is almost a year and nothing has been posted! Well here is some pictures from Halloween! We decided on a "Classic Halloween" theme ie. Mummies, Werewolves, and Zombies! Sounds Scary!

Christmas '08

I'll write more later, but let it be known... We had the best Christmas!

Halloween!

What a great holiday! Dress up and get candy! Or, in my case, dress up your kids and eat their candy!

Evan was Dash from the Incredibles and Mia was a Rat! Random but really cute. I voted to dress her as Static Cling, spike her hair and attach some socks to her outfit, but the Rat won! Mommy dressed as a Pirate and Dad was a metro sexual lumberjack. (OK, it's what I was wearing!)
Hilly and Tavnir came with us and left very baby hungry! Great time had by all!

Evan's Photoshoot

Evan and I went out the other night to do a photo shoot. He was great and we got some great shots. I only had to bribe him with two quarters! What a bargain!

He is so cool!

Is this not the most handsome boy you have ever seen?!

Ready for Halloween

I saw this shirt and had to get it for Mia. She could wear it all year long and it would make perfect sense to her. I love that tongue! She is going to freak out that people will give her candy just by knocking on their door.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

We went for a walk last Sunday down around the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple (pronounced Ochre, like the color). It is about 5 minutes from our house and we've been monitoring the construction for quite awhile now. About a year ago Evan received $10 in birthday money. We explained that he needed to pay his tithing and what the church would use it for, temples churches, etc. He paid it to the Bishop on that Sunday and we didn't think about it again until we drove past the Oquirrh Mountain temple a couple of days later. A lot of progress had been made on the construction and Evan exclaimed, " Look my dollar is really working!" Ever since then we visit the site to see Evan's "Dollar at Work"!

MORE FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH

We had the best time at the pumpkin patch this year. It has become a bit of a tradition for our family to pick out our pumpkins at this little family farm pumpkin patch. Both Evan and Mia had a blast inspecting the pumpkins for potential and I loved snapping pictures of the whole thing! These kids have such distinct personalities, and it is so evident in these pictures. I love the one of Evan sitting in the pumpkin patch, it is the quintessential Evan. Happy, sweet, content, loving. Mia, on the other hand, is summed up by the grumpy faced gang member. She looks like she's about to pull out a gun out of that pocket while flashing gang signs with her other. All about the attitude! I love that picture- it's "newsies gone bad"! It is so much fun to be their parents and see them develop into little people and friends!
