Halloween

Halloween this year went like it does most years.. We waited forever to pick a costume and then finally decided to shop in our costume closet instead of the store. Ezra was a police officer, Makai was Thor, Deklan was a pirate and Brynlee was a cabbage patch funky fairy ;) Yeah, I made the last one up. lol.

We went trick or treating with a lot of our friends. Here the kids are with Haley and Ryan waiting for it to finally be time to beg people for candy!

Our neighborhood had some good houses and some lame ones. A lot of people didn't answer and some that did didn't have any candy. The kids had a good time running around together though, and we came back with enough candy to fulfill mommy and daddy's cravings, so we're good.

Maybe I'll try to plan better for next year. I always have big ideas and then not even time or "know how" to make them happen. Ezra wants to be luigi and Makai wants to be "Hulk Smash" next year. Maybe we could all be Mario characters! Yeah, probably not gonna happen, but I just might wear a black or orange shirt next year so I'm going big!

Brynlee's Baby Blessing

Our Beautiful Brynlee Bear was blessed August 3rd, 2014. The blessing was given by her handsome and gentle daddy, James. It was a wonderful blessing. She was blessed with virtue to last her through her life which was my favorite part. I teared up when the idea of her being a mother and raising Heavenly Father's children was said. It made me feel so connected to her and I realized I am raising a mother who will raise more mothers so I better do a good job!

She was calm the whole blessing even with the feathers from her bow tickling her face while she was bounced ;)

She's an angel baby and we're all in love.
