1st Day of School and Birthdays 2011

The girls 1st Day of School! They had a staggerd start, so Teya went to school 1 day earlier than Kali...Kali was NOT happy about that. And of course...Chris and Caden wanted a picture with the girls as well! My little girls are growing up...sniff...sniff.





Kali is 6 years old!! She had a Hawaiian Chihuahua birthday party. We played hot chihuahua (hot potato), find the missing dog (scavenger hunt), and another game that I can not remember..darn.





Chris turned the BIG 4! He had a sword birthday party...and he sure got a lot of swords for presents...he was a very happy little boy. We had a javelin toss through a ring of fire, fight the dragons (aka pop the bubbles with foam sword), and a jousting match (knocking down cereal boxes with a pool noodle). Great times!




Caden's 2nd Birthay!! He had a Cars birthday party. He is such a cutie pie...gotta love his smile! We got him his very own scooter, but his favorite gift was from his grandparents...a shake-and-go race car.

Busy October

WOW!! It's been a LONG time since I have posted. Maybe I'll catch up later, but for now, I'll tell you about our busy October.

It started off with Teya turning the BIG 8! She really wanted to get her ears pierced...so off to Clair's we went. She didn't even flinch.

The MOST important experience we had was that our little girl was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm so proud of the daughter of God she has blossomed into. Sniff...sniff...she's growing up so fast. We had a wonderful ceremony up in Spokane with lot's of family!





The next weekend, Ben and I, my parents, and some good friends went to the BYU football game in OR. It was so much fun...we were really glad they WON! Gotta love BYU football!!





Kali went on her first field trip to a pumpkin patch. They had corn mazes, hay mazes, hay rides, slides, apple eating. We both had a great time!



Then, while up in Spokane, we had a friend take a family picture of us...we thought it was probably about time since Caden was a baby in our last family portrait.


To finish off the month was of course...HALLOWEEN. Caden's new favorite holiday. He had so much fun getting CANDY...who would have guessed? Teya was a Chinese princess, Kali was the swan princess, Chris was a ninja, and Caden was a froggy!
