Aria's Baby Blessing

We were finally able to have Aria's baby blessing yesterday! We had to postpone it for a few months with everything that was going on - no one was home to have it. We were beyond blessed with so much support from both sides of our family showing up to be there for us. The kids had so much fun playing with all of their cousins and it was wonderful having our home full of family. Aria looked like a little princess and was the star of the show! Randy did an amazing job blessing Aria and I know she will carry the joy of that blessing forever. Thank you again everyone that made it and sent well wishes - I am overwhelmed by the love from our families - we love you all from the bottom of our hearts!

Halloween

I didn't get a ton of pictures from Halloween because the kids were super impatient and it was COLD! Plus it was hard to push a stroller on a narrow sidewalk with TONS of other people around and take pictures of the kids running up to knock on doors. So parking lot pictures is all we got - Justin is a Dinosaur (Or a boy riding a Dinosaur... however you want to look at it.) Kimber is Tinkerbell, Kam is a Pretty Pink Fairy Princess (don't try and leave out ANY of those words... trust me.) Kaylee is a Southern Belle, Aria is a baby Strawberry & Addi is Kit the Cat. Tristan is a Turkey but he didn't dress up last night so we didn't get him in the picture. We went Trick-or-Treating for about 45 minutes - the kids were frozen solid and so were the adults so we all headed back to feed the kids and get them warm. It was so much fun getting all of the kids together to go Trick-Or-Treating since it seems we never get to do that!

 

Kambri's 1st Halloween Party

Kambri had her very 1st school Halloween party yesterday and it was so much fun! Her teacher did an amazing job at setting the whole thing up - I am still amazed at everything she did for them. They got into groups and went to each station as a group. They pinned the Eye on Mike off of Monster's Inc., they threw Bean bags in a pumpkins mouth. They did a cake walk & made hand prints to go in a book, and at the very end they got to go Trick-Or-Treating to all of the mom's that stayed to help. Kam & Kaylee got to be in the same group luckily so I got cute pictures of them in between running the CD Player for the cake walk. They scored tons of candy and treats and had so much fun feeling like princesses!

 

 

 

Trunk or Treat

My mom's ward had their Trunk or Treat a few days ago and she invited us to come along. Now if you don't know what a trunk or treat is let me tell you. Everyone goes to a parking lot and dresses up the back of their SUV's, Car's, Trucks, Van's etc. and has a bucket of candy to give to the kids. This is a way to keep the kids safe and helps in an area like my mom's where the houses are spread really far apart so that the kids in the neighborhood can still trick or treat! After the kids "Trunk-or-Treated" to each of the cars they had fun carnival games that they all participated in. Aria was the life of the party as a baby Strawberry and Addi is the cutest undead cat I've ever seen! She was Kit the Cat off of Monster High this year - I have NO idea who she is haha but she loves her apparently. They had props set up as a photo booth to take pictures of everyone in costume so my mom got her picture taken with most of her grandkids - we were just missing a few!

 

Thriller

Earlier this week Addi & I had a girls night out at Tuachan. We went and saw Thriller - which has basically become a yearly tradition that we just love! We love the new act they stuck in this year and of course all of our old favorites that they do every year. Addi got excited when I told her someday she'll be able to try out for Thriller when she is old enough if she keeps dancing. So now she has another thing to look forward to! :)
