LeAnne's Birthday Nov 15th

LeAnne is 15!!! She has turned into a beautiful young woman (from an adorable little girl). Her friend Bailey Sien came over for her birthday.

Thanksgiving with the Kmetzsch's and Shumways

Cassity, Justin and Etta came for Thanksgiving. Kristen, Sheldon and kids came for a few days before and after. It was so great to have family here. I am so grateful they came all that way. Thanks guys! We had a great time. Joshy was not so sure about sharing his toys with Etta. Etta was very sweet and didn't mind at all. I am happy to have a few cousins his age.

Cell Phones!! Are we crazy?

We finally bought the kids cell phones. We totally surprised them. Brian and I thought of a Hunt (I can't think of the name--treasure hunt) whatever. We thought of clues and sent them all over the house and outside and then they ended up in the front room where we gave them their wrapped gifts (early Christmas presents). They were very excited!!

Halloween

This year's Halloween was on Sunday so the girls didn't really dress up. Tyler had a cast party that night at our house (for Little Women). He dressed up as a magician. His good friend Lauren matched him perfectly (not planned).

I couldn't find a costume for Josh at the store so I decided to make him one about an hour before our ward party. I had a little green fleece so I made him Sprout. He only wore it for about 10 minutes before he made me take it off of him. It was longer to start out with, but he was bugged so I cut it off thinking it would help, but it didn't!!
