Garden of the Gods

On Sunday we took a drive with grandma and gramps up to Garden of the Gods. It is so beautiful there, I can't believe it took us a year and half to visit after we moved here. I got some great pictures of the kids and we all enjoyed the great outdoors!

Devin's Baptism

Devin turned 8 at the beginning of the month and has been very anxious for Halloween to come. Not only did he get to go trick-or-treating, but it was the day of his baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was baptized by Quin and confirmed by his grandfather. Devin was all smiles as the program progressed and shared the day with his family, grandparents, the Thompsons, and our friends, the Smiths.

Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year, the kids are still overloaded with candy after going to 2 trunk or treats. This year, Hallie was Sleeping Beauty, Jacie made an adorable Minnie Mouse and Devin was garbage(seriously). Ty pulled him around in a trash can and kicked the bottom when it was time for him to pop up, he won the 2nd grade creative costume award at school. They also got to spend Halloween day with grandma and gramps which makes any holiday more fun and at the end of the day they made a candy store with all their spoils!

Hallie's Birthday!

Hallie turned 6 on October 25th, but she's been asking me, "How many more days until my birthday?" since August. She had a Princess Pajama Party on Friday before her birthday with her best friends Emma, Autumn, and Jacie. They made build-a-bears, bracelets, crowns, and decorated cupcakes. It was a very giggly, girly night and her Aunt Mary was even there for most of the party.

Some of her favorite birthday gifts were her new Dora links doll, her purple dress with leggings, beading kit, and Pretty as a Princess game.
