Stacy's Baby Shower...

Before sweet Gracie Jane arrived I went to my sister Stacy's baby shower. She had a great turnout and the food and decorations were awesome! Gracie will definitely be looking pretty stylish, she got so many adorable things!

I love my sisters!!!

Halloween 2011...

We had a really fun Halloween this year. Stacy hosted the annual family Halloween party again and it was great as usual...

The kids and I were mythical characters... Avery was the Tooth Fairy, Maddox was Cupid and I was the Easter Bunny. I'm bummed we didn't get a better picture, the kids insisted on standing higher up on the steps. I also spaced getting one of just myself.

My little Cupid...

My little Tooth Fairy...

Rich had already planned on being Peter Pan so it worked out great with our "mythical characters" theme.

Jamie and family (including Ben's mom Renee) as Vampires...

Stacy and family as Toy Story characters... Stacy was actually able to convince Justin to go have professional pictures taken.

My Dad as a Biker and my brother Justin as Abraham Lincoln... and yes, all that facial hair is real!

Shalane as a Black Cat... she always goes all out and completely surprises us all. Love the cat eyes!

Jamison was a Pilot.

This years best costume award went to my brother Justin, Abraham Lincoln!

5 of the 7 siblings... we missed you Jen and Shawn!

4 of us 5 girls...

Of course there was lots of yummy food...

Fun decor...

Great company...

And last but certainly not least, trick-or-treating...

Until next year...

(Post) Halloween Peek...

Every year my sisters and I like to take the kids somewhere and take pictures of them in their Halloween costumes. In the past we've gone to the cemetery, but we decided to switch it up this year. I meant to have this up as a Halloween "sneak peek" but as you can see that didn't happen...

Avery was the Tooth Fairy...

Maddox was Cupid...

All of the kids... Stacy's kids were Toy Story characters and Jamie's kids were vampires.

Here are a couple behind the scenes outtakes...

Maddox's School Halloween Parade...

Maddy's school had a Halloween parade on Halloween. My Mom was here so she came with Avery and I to watch...

Isn't he the cutest Cupid you ever saw!?

Scarlett's Baby Blessing...

My niece Scarlett was blessed a week ago Sunday. She looked so adorable! It was also their wards Primary Program so it was nice to watch that. Afterwards we all had a yummy lunch together and hung out...

Catching some MUCH needed zzzzz's... I seriously crashed for like three hours in the middle of all of the chaos. Apparently my kids weren't behaving very well either... sorry Jamie! Thanks for having us though!

Nana & Papa Visit...

My parents came up and stayed with us the weekend before Halloween. The kids love them to death and definitely got plenty of attention. In the picture above I'm pretty sure my dad was sleeping but Avery was totally faking it (she loves faking that she's asleep, especially when it's time to get out of the car.)

Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help!

Ward Trunk or Treat...

Last Saturday Jamie and I took our kids to my ward truck or treat. The kids had fun and got way too much candy. And I may or may not have had a mouth full of candy...

Little Gym Halloween Party...

A week ago Saturday my sisters, my Mom and I took the kids to the Little Gym Halloween Party. They had trunk or treating, face painting, cookies, carnival games and of course let the kids play on the gymnastics equipment. As always, the kids had a blast...

My little monkey girl...

My nephew Dallin was trying to figure out how to do Avery's tricks, it was pretty funny...
