Halloween - Evening

On Halloween, I got off of work a few hours early to get the kids ready for the evening in their costumes. It took longer than I expected, so we didn't make it to campus in time to see everyone before they got off of work at 5, but we did manage to make a quick stop at State Bank.

Here is Cambrie all ready to go trick-or-treating!

Calina is all ready to go, but in need of a nap...

Andy dressed up this year!

After 5:00, we did some trick or treating at Juniper Hall on campus. It was kind of strange, so we left and went to Halleluiah night. It's like a carnival that is free to the public. A local church puts it on. It was really fun. Cambrie played lots of fun games and got a bunch of candy for it. It's really a cool idea. I think we'll probably make it a tradition to go to it every year.

After we were done at the carnival, we went to my parent's ward trunk or treat that was out by their house. They had soup and chili for dinner, a halloween parade, and of course trunk or treating. The girls had a lot of fun, and got LOTS of candy!

Here is Calina being oh, so, cute in her bunny outfit at the truck or treat.

Cambrie is hanging out in the back of "Pa-pa's" truck, eating her homemade chicken noodle soup and crackers...yum yum!

Cambrie (witch), Pa-pa, Alex (turtle), Me, and Calina (bunny) in the Halloween Parade at the trunk or treat.

Although she is too young to partake, I had to get a picture of Calina going through the "stash." She was so enjoying all the pretty colors! I was having a hard time keeping her out of it, so I thought, "What's the harm?"

Halloween - Morning

The girls' school let them dress up on Halloween for the first couple of hours of the day. I didn't want Cambrie to wear her "princess witch" costume so she wouldn't get it dirty before trick or treating that evening, so I put this one together last minute from her dress ups...I thought it turned out really cute! Cambrie thought so, too because she told me she didn't want to be a princess witch any more. But she ended up having an accident in this costume, so we wore the princess witch one, anyway.

Cambrie excited to go to her school party.

Discovery Clubhouse Halloween Party

We went to a Halloween Party at the girls school. It was in the evening and a lot of fun. They had games and crafts and lots of candy and treats!!

Here is Cambrie decorating a cookie with some purple frosting....yum.

Andy and Calina looking festive at the party! :)
Cambrie knocked down ALL of the inflatable pins with the inflatable bowling ball! The teacher at this station said Cambrie did the best out of anyone!!

In this room, they had these little pumpkins that were black, but if you rub off the black, there are bright rainbow colors underneath. Cambrie is looking at her wooden stick in this picture, trying to figure out where the colors are coming from....always a scientist!!

Pumpkin Carving

Cambrie and Andy had fun carving this pumpkin while I was doing some homework. I thought the pumpkin turned out really great!!

The Joys of Teething

Calina was teething last month. Her teeth finally came through about a week and a half ago. For some reason, Cambrie was never too phased by the whole teething thing. But she usually got one tooth at a time. Calina got both of her bottom middle teeth and she had SUCH a hard time. It was SOOO sad! She's not one to cry too much, but she was just crying all time time the whole time she was getting her teeth in. She also had a fever, runny nose, rash, and cough. No fun!!

No teeth yet!!

SOOOOOO sad!!!!Only happy when with her mommy!!
Yay!! The teeth are FINALLY here!! (gotta look really close)

Zoe Growing up!

Zoe is getting bigger. We weighed her today and she was just shy of 20 pounds. Andy has installed a doggy door in the garage so that she can get out to the yard and run around and also come in when she needs to. She has been a quick learner and already knows: Sit, Home, Stay, Down, Shake, and Go Get It (Fetch). She is 4 months old today. We got her at 6 1/2 weeks.

Zoe at 9 Weeks and 6 1/2 Weeks

13 Weeks (3 months 1 week)

Tis The Season (Well...Almost)

I know I've been a slacker and STILL haven't posted anything about Halloween (don't worry -- I'll get it one of these days), and I know Thanksgiving hasn't even passed, yet, but I've been feeling the holiday spirit a little bit early, and since there's no such thing as Thanksgiving music, I decided to put my Christmas music playlist up. I'm sure you haven't noticed it.....it's only bright red and the first thing you see when my blog opens... I selected it NOT to start playing automaticlly so those who either don't want to listen to Christmas music yet or already have music from three blogs playing don't have to listen. So just push play and listen to some of our favorite Christmas tunes....or not.... :)
