Halloween 2012

I know I am a little behind, but here is some of the fun we had this Halloween.  We have a tradition every year to do the haunted train ride in Lindon.  This is one of my favorite Halloween activities.

 

Here we are at Gardner's Village.  Not my favorite place.

We went trick or treating at some of the local grocery stores.

The cutest cat you will ever see!

Before our ward party.

Dad carving pumpkins because mom won't. HAHA!

We had a neighborhood/friends Halloween party at the clubhouse.  The kids loved it!

Some of the many Belle Monet babies.

School Halloween parade.  This year they had a dance party after for each grade level.  So much fun dancing with all the kids.

Trick or treaing down American Fork Main Street.  The weather was almost 80 degrees.  Warmest Halloween ever recorded in Utah!

SOOOOO much candy.  That night we went trick or treating in LIndon and North Orem.  We found two awesome haunted houses and a few houses that gave out full size candy bars.  One house even gave out soda with a full size candy bar.  Awesome!

McKinley is 6 months!

Our baby girl is 6 months old already.  I can't believe it.  She is so much fun to have in our family.  We love her constant smiles and giggles and the way she lights up whenever she sees her brothers and sister.  She is such a happy baby and we just love her so much!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Adam celebrated another birthday.  I love him so much and am grateful everyday that he is a part of my life.

He started out the day with sleeping in and then lunch at Tucanos!

Ended the day with an awesome Giants game (who later won the world series) and family snuggles on the couch.

I LOVE THE GIANTS!

Fun with glow sticks

Who knew you could have so much fun with a pack of glow sticks from the dollar store!

Day 5 of Fall Break: Children's Museum

We finally made it to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum in SLC.  The kids love this place.  I wish it was a little closer to our house.  We would seriously go ALL the time.

The cute couple grocery shopping.  Is this a flash forward to the future?

I love you to the moon and back!

We decide to take Traks over to City Creek to do a little shopping.  

The train ride was the highlight of the day!

Clifford came for a visit too!

Day 3 of Fall Break: Swimming

We went to the Lehi indoor swimming pool with Erin and Wes, and Brittney, Davey and Sophie

Day 2 of Fall break: Sick/Movie

We were suppose to go to the children's museum but woke up with sick kids, so plans changed.  Kloe was croupy and Kyle said his stomach hurt in the middle of the night.  We took it easy most of the day, but after an hour of being awake, everyone was fine.  We decided to go to the movies instead.  In the spirit of Halloween, we saw Paranorman.  It was FREAKY!

Later that night we rented some movies and had a family movie night!

Daddy Daughter Date!

They went to the movies to see Brave.  Kloe loved every minute of it.  

Conference Time

This session of conference was amazing.  President Monson announced a change in the age that men and women can serve missions.  Men are now allowed to serve at age 18 while women can serve at age 19.  I love this change.  Kaden and Kyle will be able to leave right after high school graduation.  No more partying the summer after high school, which I'm sure will be a good thing!  This change will also make it easier for Kloe and Mckinley to serve missions too.  I got married at age 20 so never had this opportunity but hopefully they won't be married at 18 and can decide if a mission is best for them. I love the gospel so much and a living prophet to give us guidance for these latter days.

Some conference traditions.  Thank you Pinterest for the cup idea!

Tuesday Night Lights!

Every Tuesday night and some Saturdays for the month of September and October the boys play flag football through the Pleasant Grove Rec Center.  It has been so much fun watching them interact with their teammates and seeing the differences between the two of them.  Kaden is way more aggressive while Kyle tries to stay clear of the ball.  Some of the highlights for the season... Kaden playing quarterback every game and catching interceptions while playing defense  Kyle also got his hand at quarterback and loved kicking the ball.  I'm so proud of them and their love for sports.  I hope they keep this passion alive.  Also, Donny Osmond was at one of Kyle's game.  I think his son was the other team's coach
