Trunk or Treat

What can be even more fun than trick or treating? Trunk or Treating at the ward party two days before Halloween! Already the candy is starting to mount in our house, along with the sticky walls, windows, doorknobs, and children. Yea!! (Can you hear the sarcasm?) At least starting Halloween early motivated me to have costumes done. This is what we came up with.


Ninja Jake


Lucie wanted to be a witch and a princess...ta-da!


Holly wanted to be strawberry shortcake.


Cute puppy Will. He looooovvvvves dogs!


Holly chewing skirt, Lucie poking baby, happy-oblivious Will, and Jake trying not to drop baby Kate. This is what our kids are like in reality.


Big smiles, looking at the camera, no chewing, picking, poking, or licking something. It's a photographic miracle!


Enjoying the rewards of trunk or treating.


Picture of trunk or treating aftermath.

Yeah...this is what became of nap time after trunk or treat. Mind you they had been in "nap time" over an hour and hadn't gone to sleep. The sugar apparently gave Will super human "I-can-now-climb-out-of-crib" powers. Awesome...(sarcastically). I did actually cry after taking this photo, seeing as how I had just done laundry the day before and organized their full dresser drawers, which had been emptied of their total contents along with the fully stocked top drawer of huggies diapers. Seriously...I took the photo, calmly put mayhem (what I now call the duo of Will and Holly) in bed, shut the door, then cried a little. *Sigh* At least I can show this photo to their children one day. Ha,ha,ha!

Kitty Kate


Holly holding Kate


"C'mon people...You know you've never seen anything cuter!"


"I'm totally working this animal print!"

We've Been Busy...

I haven't been in hiding. Really, we've been busy. New baby No. 5, a trip to Home (aka Utah), trips to places we'll never see again, schools starting, and so much more. So instead of trying to write about it all, I'm just going to post some pictures. That's what ya'll want anyway! Am I right, or am I right?!?
Enjoy.
Last trip to the dam.


 Kate in her cocoon.
 Will and Kate
 Snoozing...again
 Hmmm, sleep or food. Looks like sleep won.
 Enjoying our last trip to Tillamook and the beach.
 "Grab the camara...she's awake!!)
 Jacob is helpful and loves holding Kate so I can get things done.
 Lucie's first day of school.

 Tummy time, or as I call it, blanket eating time.
 Celebrating a full month with Kate!


Whew....I hope you got all that.
