Halloween 2014.....

It was a blast this year watching Linli experience Halloween for the first time.   She was so dang excited.   Her eyes were just shining.   It was like a dream come true to her.   She just couldn't get over the fact that she could go knock on someone's door and they would give her a treat.    What more could a little girl want?

The other kids had a great time as well.   Nick decided he was too old to trick-or-treat so he and Carson decided to help with a spook alley at Carson's.  I think they thought it was just as much fun to hide and scare people than to trick-or-treat.  

And I'm not gonna lie this was the first big holiday since Josh has been gone and it was surprisingly hard.  How dumb is that?  I don't even really like Halloween all that much and yet it was the hardest day for me since Josh has left.   It was weird...but I did send him a cute halloween package with lots of candy decorated like mummies, pumpkins etc. with scriptures to go along with each treat.   I haven't decided if it's more therapeutic for me or him.  

So here they are.....Elsa, Anna, morphsuit man, greaser, and creeper girl.....oh and Luke Skywalker all the way from Tucson ;)











This was a neighborhood witch party at Lynley T's.   Man that girl knows how to throw a party!  It was a blast!   She had everything perfect right down to every detail!

I thought I had a picture of the whole missionary Halloween package but apparently I don't or just can't find it.....but this was his favorite treat in the whole package so this is good enough for me :)

Meili's 6th Birthday...

Image
Meili's only request this year was to spend her birthday in Bear Lake.  That was not a problem.  Since it was also Raspberry Days that weekend, my family planned to come spend a fun-filled weekend with us.  Russel and I decided to come the night before and bring the three little kids with us.  We thought it would be super fun to go down to the KOA and rent a 6-person bike and ride around town.  It was a little harder than we thought since Russel and I were pretty much the man power.  We kept telling the kids to start pulling their weight and get pedaling!  JD kept complaining a little that his heart was hurting.  Well he's definitely a little athlete so I'm just thinking he's being lazy.  I kept telling him to get his groove on and get moving. Well after about an hour we returned the bike and went for snow cones.  The best snow cones in all of Bear Lake.  Yum!  Anyway, JD kept saying his heart was going so fast and I kept brush...

Girls, Girls, Girls....

So I have a lot of catching up to do in the blogging world. Several things have happened this month so I am devoting however long it may take today to get everything posted. This past weekend Abi invited 4 friends to go to the Nutcracker with her and Meili....of course Russel and I tagged along as well. We went to the matinee showing and beforehand they had a Sugar Plum Fairy Tea Party that was an absolute must. All the girls dressed up in fancy dresses and we had a great time. The tea party was decorated like a little girl's dream. Pink everywhere, sparkles covering everything, gooey pink sweet dessert, and many performers from the show mingling and taking pictures. Abi is truly blessed to have such good friends and this is only just a handful of them. The girls were so cute and had a great time. During intermission, we ran across the street to the famous Bluebird Restaurant to get them chocolates and candy (wonderful suggestion from Courtney). Oh...and it was also quite a...

Beautiful Drive up Logan Canyon...

Image
On Saturday, we decided to take a little drive up the canyon and look at the beautiful fall colors and my oh my were they gorgeous!! We've been up there twice this week and just can't get enough. This time we remembered the camera. :) The kids loved seeing the vibrant leaves. The drive is truly an hour of awesomeness. Plus it's always nice to know there's a very yummy fresh raspberry shake waiting for you....not to mention chocolate covered raspberries. Just a few of our favorite moments in Bear Lake. Here are a few of the "hundreds" of pics that Russel took. He has "trigger finger." I think I narrowed it down pretty good though.....although sometimes it's hard to tell if #95 looks better #3. :)
