Scooby Doo Where are You?.....




So here are our halloween pictures for 2007. Me and Darrin decided to dress up as Velma and Shaggy, Our friends Kim and Collin are Daphne and Fred, and their little boy Spencer is dressed up as Scooby Doo! Everyone thought that, that was my real hair it's actually just a wig. I can't wait until next year, we already have some ideas of what we want to be!

We love our friends!





I just wanted to share some pictures of us and our friends last fall. (The Lund Family and the Peterson's) We decide to go up Provo Canyon and roast some hot dogs and smores (Yummy! Smores are one of my favorites!) As you can see we had plenty of fire wood, but had a very hard time getting the fire started. After we ate we decided to play croquet! It was a lot of fun, but keep your eye on Collin he's a sneaky one when it comes to playing croquet. I hope we can do a lot more fun outdoor activities with our friends this year, I hope your all ready!

Look Who's 4






This year Abby was turning 4 and wanted to have a Little Mermaid Birthday! I love planning Birthday Parties! We had custom invitations made that invited everyone to join princess Abigail for an undersea adventure! When her guests arrived (all dressed up like princesses) we had a Little Mermaid bubble blower on the front porch and a poster of Ariel on the front door. We also had the Little Mermaid cd playing in the background. The house was decorated with streamers, ribbon, balloons, and crepe paper it looked so neat! Everyone got to go on a treasure hunt, there was a treasure map to follow and little surprises along the way. At the end we had a treasure chest filled with gift bags, jewels, Swedish fish, and chocolate coins. We also played pin the mermaid on the treasure chest! When the party was over everyone got to take home a candy bar with a little mermaid wrapper on it thanking them for coming, their gift bag filled with treasures, a crown, and a wand! Abby had all her friends and cousins come. She really did feel like a princess! Happy 4th Birthday Abby!

Christmas 2006!






This is another one of my favorite holidays I love the lights, shopping, decorating, being with family, and the spirit Christmas brings! These pictures are of the kids opening their presents, and then sitting by their presents in a nice neat little pile, (the neatness didn't last long!) When I asked the kids what their farorite present was they said... Madi loved her Ipod and the clothes, Kaiden's favorite was his Imaginext Castle and his Ipod! He is my music kid, he listens to his Ipod way to much! Abby's favorite was her princess dress up dress, and her Little Mermaid kitchen! Everyone had a great Christmas!

Halloween 2006!



Ahoy mates! Check out my 2 adorable ship mates! Kaiden and Abby both decided to be Pirates this year. I had so much fun putting together their costumes! Once again my mom did all the sewing (thanks mom)! Madi decide that she wanted to be a Gyspy! I tried to talk her into being a parrot, but she didn't really like that idea! This was the first year we stayed at home on Halloween, we usually go to Spanish Fork and trick or treat with all our cousins. Even though we missed not seeing them on Halloween, it was fun to stay home and let the kids trick or treat with their friends. Despite the chilly weather we all had a great night! I'm still trying to decide who likes Halloween more, me or my kids?

Oh Popeye!




Halloween is one of our favorite holidays! Each year we try and dress up as a famous couple! Any guesses? These costumes were so fun, we made them ourselves (with the help of my mom.) Darrin is always a good sport! Happy Halloween 2006!
