Happy Halloween!

This is how we started Halloween morning, while I was making breakfast B and daddy were wearing scarey teeth that Aunt Stephanie gave to Brooklyn. She did pretty good considering they are pretty big for her little mouth.

Then while I was unpacking Brooklyn's bag and going through her summer clothes daddy decided to turn her crib into a big girl bed. It was sad to see it this way but exciting, B is growing up so fast. She was super excited to be able to climb in and out of her bed herself. She got in and put the covers over her. We do not have a bed rail for it so hopefully she will be ok.

Daddy decided to try out the new bed.

Nap time she did great stayed in her bed the whole time and when she woke up she was still in it waiting for us to come and get her. She has not quite figured out that she can get out on her own which is just fine for now. She did great sleeping in it last night as well. She woke up around 11 I think she had fallen out she was standing there crying but I put her back in and she was fine the rest of the night.

Watch out there is a new sheriff in town. Brooklyn had such an exciting night at her cousins that she slept through going to the trunk or treat with them so we took her around the neighborhood to a few houses and then passed out candy at home the rest of the night. Poor B kept being called a cowboy clearly they could not see that she was in a skirt, oh well we tried to correc them but htey were old and didn't seem to notice us calling her Brooklyn.

Her favotite part of her costume was her gun. My favorite part was that we had everything already except for the vest which I got at Kid to Kid for $5. the hat came from a rodeo in SLC last year.

We went next door just when they were getting ready to go out so we went for a little while with Darth Vader - Mikie, Witch - Annde and Cowgirl - B. Mikey used the pillow case i made him for his birthday as his trick or treat bag.

The girls were not to sure what to think at eat house, but Brooklyn was more than happy to wave bye to them all. This is our neighbor across the street Jim he is a nice man with a cute lab puppy. I was surprised to see the older couples in our neighborhood get into Halloween most of them had pumpkins and dressed up to answer the door some were even scarey. It was a short night out but fun for B's first time going door to door.

Babysitting in SLC

Day 1 of our 8 day stay in SLC, UT. Brooklyn and I stayed with the Johnson kids while Cherlyn and Blake went to a Urologist meeting in Hawaii. Eliza and Brooklyn in the huge shopping cart at Target, I felt like I was pushing two carts.

Day 2 driving back from picking up Marissa from her softball game. Don't they all look so excited to be in the car. Can't really blame them Caleb was driving and Lucas was sick. It was an adventure Lucas got sick and we had to pull over so he could throw up in the street when it was raining, he then threw up several more times in a plastic bag on the way home. We were going to go to the pumpkin patch but decided to grab some fresh apple cider to go and head back home.

Cousin buddies for the next week

Eliza was readign to Brooklyn

We went to the discovery center, the girls had a great time playing house and in the grocery store

Always on the phone

Making sandwiches in the deli

This is Brooklyn's hiding face, there was an older man their with his grandson and Brooklyn was afraid of him so she stood there like this. I think she was saying in her head mommy make the bad man go away.

Princess Eliza playing dress up

Princess girls, B was not so sure

SNOW, it snowed for a few days and quite a bit, I was not ready for that.

Talking to daddy on the phone, she was so excited to talk to him. Daddy was excited that she was answering his questions.

Playing with the dress up shoes and babies

Waiting for lunch after we got back from the library story time, they made monster hats

More dress up, can you tell what B learned from her cousin. They had a great time together.

She loves to put on all the necklaces and carry around a phone.

Lucas with the pumpkins that we went to Walmart and got. It was an adventure watching 6 kids by myself, but it was fun. Having teenagers is a whole new world but a good challenge to face. I am grateful I have quite a few years before that stage. Brooklyn was not so sure at first but I think she had fun with ther cousins even if she was exposed to Strep throat, the flu and the latest call was that Miranda has the chicken poxs. Hoepfully the vaccine worked for B and we will not have chicken poxs here. So far we have been healthy.

When I got home Danny made us dinner and made arrangements with Richard and Stephanie to watch Brooklyn so we could go on a date Friday night. When we dropped her off they said there were taking her over night. It was a great treat for us and Brooklyn's first sleep over. We got to go out to dinner which was an adventure in itself and them the movies. I felt like we were back in the dating days, laughing and having a good time together. Danny even opened the door for me it has been a while since he has done that. Thank you Ricky and Steph it was a much needed very fun night.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Linder Farms with the Wheeler Family. We have had great weather this October unlike last year we were all bundled up. It was a perfect night with great friends.  Brooklyn was running through the hay maze with Garrett.

Picking a pumkin, she kept throwing them

Brooklyn was not ot sure of the weeds and grass she ahd to walk through in the patch

I loved that G would smile for me, if only he could teach B that.

She liked this one better

It was hard to get Brooklyn to smile even Garrett was telling B to smile

We had a fun evening with the our friends, thanks Marin for inviting us. Love this tradition always a fun time at the pumpkin patch.

Play Date

We finally went on a Palydate with Alli our friend from swimming.  It had been several months since we had seen them. The girls seemed to remember each other and played great at the park.

This was Alli's first time playing at a park she had a blast.

They took a little break to color and play with stickers.

Hopefully this winter will not be as crazy as the summer and the girls will be able to get together more often.
