Random October Pictures

Got me some new dining table chairs off craigslist to refinish...

Her hair is getting so fun to do...

love the curls!

playing legos in his halloween cosutme...

She loves to get in on the lego action too... hello choking hazard!

Pig tails!

A little crafting... (soo easy!)

Practicing a little face painting for Bryson's class party and our ward party...

Our very own Harry Potter...

have I mentioned that he's on the 5th book in the series??  He started reading them in May and has flown through them!

Kung Fu Fighters and a Scary Ghost

 Eli's best Karate move...

 don't mess...

 Bryson was far too serious *grin*

 Don't be too afraid!

 and yes, bribery with candy was the only way I could get a decent picture!

Dallin decided at the last minute that he wanted to be a cowboy instead...

Pumpkin Carving

The pumpkin guts thoroughly disgusted Bryson

Dallin actually thought it was cool, but had to put on a good show...

Eli just had to be big and do it himself!

We let the boys each do their own pumpkin this year...

Dallin is mimicking his pumpkins expression... 

Eli might  have had a little help from dad...

I'm very impressed with how they turned out!

 Left-Dallin, Center-Bryson, Right-Eli(with a little lot of help from Daddy)

It's just so easy to get such great pictures of my kids...

Happy Halloween!

Kentucky Trip

The only thing more fun than getting to Grandma and Papa's house....

Is actually being there!

We had a fantastic trip... the weather was wonderful (my vacation bad weather fairy must've been on her own vacation!)... we celebrated Nathan's birthday, got to meet Laura's darling baby Adelaide (even though Tony wasn't able to come) and had an amazing time playing with cousins and loving on Grandma and Papa.  If only Kentucky were closer to Washington!

Eli-ism

Yesterday, 5 minutes after eating lunch...

Eli: mom, can I have a snack?

Mom:  Um, that would be a negative...

Eli: mom, can I have a negative?

Progress...

The foundation is poured and they're working on the parking lot...  so far Mother Nature is working with us!
