Halloween

Our family had a fun Halloween. We went to our Ward Chili cook off and Trunk or Treat. Then we went and visited the Gramas and Grampas. I thought the kids were so cute in their costumes. Dallas was Indiana Jones, Gage was Harry Potter and Little Ellie was a cute Bumble Bee.

Carving The Pumpkins

I meant to post these pics sooner but life's been a little busy. We carved pumpkins for family night. The boys had so much fun cleaning out the pumpkins.


Ellie helped her daddy design the pumpkin face.


Sam and I carving the face. Sam did most of the work.


Dallas carved his first pumpkin by himself.
Mom helped a little. He was so proud of himself.

My Birthday

A few days ago I celebrated my 27th Birthday. Where does the time go. In the afternoon my mom came and helped clean my house and get me caught up on my laundry. It was so sweet of her I really appreciated it. The boys even helped. Then that evening she watched the kids so Sam and I could go out. Sam gave me roses and a few presents and then took me out to my favorite restaurant Tia Rosa's. I always get the shrimp tacos, they are so good. Then we went and rented Iron Man and watched it at home. I had been wanting to see it for awhile. The next day Sam's mom came and watched the kids while I went and got a pedicure that she had bought for me. It was so nice. My toes look very pretty. Later that evening we had cake with our family. My mom bought a cake from Cold Stones it was Delicious. Thanks to everyone for such a great Birthday.


I Love Flowers!

Sorry, my feet are not very cute but my toes
look pretty.

Things We Did this Past Month

We celebrated Gages' 5th Birthday. I can't believe how big he is now. Time goes by so fast. These are a few pictures from his Birthday.








This video is of our family singing to Gage. Sorry for the horrible singing I never was much of a singer. I just thought it was cute because he kept smiling the whole time. He thought I was going to take his picture.


We also went to Tempe Beach park the kids had so much fun. It was Ellies first time to go and she loved it. I took these picture of the boys going down the slide. I think Gage looks like he is surfing. Every time the boys would go down the slide they would land on their backs. The picture of Dallas is right before he landed on his back.

After we were done swimming we went and walked around the park. They had a display of flags for those who died on 9/11. The pictures I took only show a section of them. The boys were very interested and asked me to read some of the name tags on the flags.

Mexico Vacation

Our family had a great time in Mexico. Our kids love the ocean and playing in the sand. Can you tell.

Family and Friends dug a huge tunnel in the sand and Dallas and Gage crawled through it. They thought it was the coolest thing. Gage wore his goggles almost the whole trip. He just loves them. He's so cute.
