More Halloween fun

Halloween Day was nice because it landed on a Saturday and Chris was home from work, also it turned out to be an absolute lovely day here in TX (not too cold not too hot...very rare stuff here). We decided to take the kids to the park in the morning and have fun, and then we came home and decorated halloween cookies and watched a little college ball untill it was time for trick or treating. It was such a wonderful day...you gotta love days like that!





We had some fun on the tire swing and the kids took turns pushing.

A time out for a family photo-op (minus daddy who was the camera man)


Then the kids decided it was mommy's turn...and they'd push.



Slide Races...Landon was weighing me down...



Swinging like monkeys...


Daddy decided he was missing out on all the fun...so he gave it a go.

Carson got to have a turn as the camera man...not a bad shot!

Halloween 2009

Halloween...what can I say, it was a fun night! The kids, especially Carson had been looking forward to it for weeks. Lilli was pretty excited to finally be able to wear her costume! We had a transformer (Optimus Prime), tinker bell, and a scarecrow at our house! The kids had actually gotten dressed up a few times, once for our playgroup Halloween party, and the ward trunk or treat. still they were pretty excited to finally get to go trick or treating. We hit a few neighborhoods closer to my mom's house and the kids scored pretty good! Carson did so much better about going up to the door, he was our designated door bell ringer and I did actually hear him say "Trick or Treat, and thank you" a few times. Landon and Lilli were both still a little cautious about the whole thing, but they had fun! We did miss having chili and Grandma Leslie's house, and the kids were pretty bummed that they weren't' able to show off their costumes for all of their grandparents It was nice to end our trick or treating at Grandma Lilli's and the kids were excited to show off their loot. It was a fun night!!




Super Funny Kids Quotes!

New Quotes.:

I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."

Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"

I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)

On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)

We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."

When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)

We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
