Halloween 2013

 
Afton and Lilly all ready for a "witches party" they were invited to.
 
 
Us :) 

I find it funny that by their own choice, 3 of the 4 kids wanted
 to be the same thing they were last year (except for Afton).

Lizzie as a cat- AGAIN. 

Uncle Sam and Rosie the Riveter

Ethan going on his 1,000th time of being Indiana Jones.   

Oh how I love these two girls on each side of me.

Lucky seems pretty excited about being a hot dog again.


"I Want You.... to have a happy Halloween"

Rosie the Riveter

Lucky still ashamed to be a hot dog :)

Two absolutely cute witches!

october happenings

Gardner Village- We went to Gardner Village to check out all the witches with our friends the Sierers.
All the cute girls. 
So fun that all of them love to be together!
Lizzie 9, Savannah 8, Afton and Lilly 5, Greta 3

The group of kids-
 14, 12 and 11 year old boys tolerated looking at witches very well.

Afton was quite excited to see Sweet Afton's candy shop

Bonding time-Now that school is in full swing and the kids are gone, this is how excited Lucky is to be home with just me every morning :)
He will switch off between this chair or our couch.  I must not be very exciting.
Ice Skating-  For the past 5 weeks, Tuesday nights have been filled with ice skating lessons.  Lizzie is in private lessons and Afton and Lilly took their first class. Afton and Lilly have one more time.  They are SO cute in their little ice skates.   I am still trying to decide what my wallet wants to do about Lizzie.


Cottonwood Heights Rec Center- our Tuesday night hang out place.




And finally......OUR NEW CAR!!!  We love it so much already.  We got it on Oct. 9th.  It is a 2007 GMC Yukon.  The leather seats are a great bonus with 4 kids.  Lots of room and very nice.  We are excited for upcoming adventures.

 
 In case you are wondering what we look like driving it :)
