Happy Halloween
What a bunch of cute kiddies...
Cinderella, Our little pea in a pod and Captain Hook.
Such a little doll. She liked the costume a lot better than Austin did her first year wearing it.
Austin loved this costume.
Shaun shot everything he could see.... which in that hat, wasn't much.

Halloween Party
Don't be scared...
Now these lovely ladies, a tooth fairy, (Jesse) a witch without a hat, (Me) and a pregnant fairy (Autumn) had a wonderful time at the party.
Some of the activities included rock band, (please don't miss out on the video below) a skeleton scramble, and scary stories. Here is Ben enjoying the drumming part. He is very focused.
Now this is the Skeleton Scramble. Boys vs. Girls... The boys won.
Spider man and a 20's flapper a.k.a. Shane and Becca
Creepy guy and a tooth fairy. A.k.a Brady and Jesse.
Mario and Maria a.k.a Doug and Tricia. I must say this was my favorite of the costumes. It did however help that Doug kept up his accent all night. He read us a delightful ghost story, followed by his terrifying journey to the Americas.
A Fairy and a Pirate. A.k.a. Autumn and Austin.
Now.... a colorful tiger? and a dark fairy. A.k.a. Davey and Keisha. No, they are not a couple, but they were the only singles there. Please note Davey's Moon Boots. Oh yes, they are legit.
A Witch and surprise, surprise, a Pirate. A.k.a. Brooke and Ben.
Here are a few shots of the decor for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.
The Table.
The prizes for the costume contest. 3 of the 5 winners forgot their prizes, thanks a lot guys. Oh you know who you are, and let me tell you, there went your Christmas card.
The Carmel apples that Tricia and Doug help me make. Thanks guys.

New Room
So it's taken us a while, but Ben and I finally did our room. I absolutely love it! Now keep in mind that I'm almost done with the quilt I'm making for our bed spread. The one that's on there now my dad made for me. :) Don't I have an awesome dad?!
So I made these blocks. Ben cut the wood for me. I love them.
I got two of these frames at a garage sale and painted them.
This is one of my favorite parts. I got this mirror and dresser from KSL and painted them. They turned out super cute. (I also painted the nightstand, next picture)
Our romantic bed. I have wanted a bed like this ever since I was little.
We got mirrors on our closets. I think they make the room look bigger. And I can actually see what I look like before I go out the door.

Elaina's Shower
Today my Sister-in-law Elaina had her baby shower. She is having a girl. I'm so excited for her. Natalie will have someone to play with.
Elaina and some of her friends. From high school I think.
These are my two helpers. My other sister-in-law Hollie was supposed to help, but she got sick. So it was Benny to the rescue. He was awesome. He did all of the decorating and setting up. What a great guy!
Here we are with the last minute details. That is Elaina's Mother-in-law Jerry in the yellow.
This is the food table. Don't mind the oil stains on the driveway. We like to pretend that we are average Joe's so people can relate to us. ;)

Random Post
I mainly wanted to post my little Natalie who is getting SO big. She will be three months old on the 13th. And then I saw some more pictures that you all might enjoy. So... Enjoy.
This is Austin and Shaun on Natalie's blessing day. I know we need to get some more church clothes for that boy. All of his pants are high waters. But I must say he pulls it off well.
Here is my Shaun boy at the park. He LOVES to ride his bike. I got both of them bikes at a garage sale for $5 each! Yes they are ghetto, but the kids think they are the best. In other Shaun Boy news, we are attempting to potty train him. He has had two accidents thus far, But I think he will get it in no time. He loves his Thomas Train and Transformers underwear.
We had a little luau with some of Ben's family, So here we are outside our house all decked out. Perhaps some day we will actually go to Hawaii.... some day.
This is my first quilt I made (with much help from the mother) I made it for my sister in law Dawn, who just had her 4th child. If you don't look too closely, I would say it turned out just fine.
Here she is my little Natalie Jane. Pasty little thing isn't she. She is smiling these days and making all sorts of cute little noises. Austin and Shaun just love her. This last weekend we moved the girls in the same room. Now that Natalie is sleeping through the night. Hallelujah!
