Trunk or Treat

Our Ward had an early Trunk or treat this year. It was on Wednesday, and there was lots of candy, hot dogs, hot cocco, face painting, cookie walk, ghost sucker making, and spook alley. The Elders Quorum always put it on, but this year the young men and women helped out too. It was lots of fun. We went through all the trunk or treating first, and then when in the church for the other activities. Landon and Kylie did not want face painting, but we did the cookie walk, and they both won a cookie. Then they made fun little ghost suckers. Finally we checked out the spook alley. Landon liked it, and said it was scary, but Kylie was way to scared to go in. So I hung out with her and we waited for Landon to come out. Marcus stayed by the trunk and handed out the candy. I think he had fun looking at all the costumes, and bugging some of the kids. We all had a great night.


Kylie made the cutest black kitty there. I had fun being a witch with one cookin' in the oven, and Landon was our super hero.



Cute little poser



Superman to the rescue



My beautiful kids all ready for a night of fun.

Crazy

So I had my OB appointment yesterday. Would you believe it that in 6 weeks from my last appointment I lost two pounds. I thought it was pretty crazy. But I am sure I will be gaining it back soon. To be fair I gained 10 pounds in five weeks for the appointment before that. I thought that was also pretty crazy too. My scale is broken too, so I can only check in when I go in for my OB appointments. Baby is doing great, and measuring just fine. I love hearing the heart beat.

Snuggle Bug

So both my kids love to snuggle. But Kylie must be more like her mom, because she loves to bug you and snuggle. I was getting a movie ready for my kids to watch, and Kylie insisted on Landon snuggling her. So she pounced, and hugged on him. He is a good sport (just like Marcus) and let her snuggle up to him. I thought it was so cute, I had to take a picture.

Kylie's HairCut

So Kylie has been bugging me forever to cut her hair. She wants short hair. I think she hates it when I brush her hair. I was trying to wait until the spring so she could have a fun summer cut, but decided to just go ahead and to it. She was really good, and I love her new haircut. So does Kylie and Daddy. I don't think Landon really cares. I think it looks less straggly because there is just less hair to see.

Landon's School Picture

Here is Landon's Kindergarten picture. I was pretty happy with it. He can give some really cheesy smiles, and this one turned out great.

Eight Years

Yesterday was our eight year anniversary. We had a great evening last night. We had a pizza party with the kids, and got the new Indiana Jones movie. We also got a slice of brownie fudge cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, to take home and share after the kids went to bed. I think they have the best cheesecake that I have ever tasted. And it was so good. The movie was pretty fun too.

Then since my mom is coming today, and staying for a couple of days I thought that I would wait to go on a date till tomorrow and have her watch my kids. We are planning on going out to eat, and then going shooting. I am pretty excited because I don't think Marcus and I get out of the house on dates very often. We usually do an in house date like we did last night.

New Haircut

I got a hair cut today. I just got one two months ago but my hair has been growing like crazy. So I decided to cut it even shorter. Here is also a profile shot of my belly at 22 weeks.

First Snow

Today was the first snow of the season. It started as rain and then turned into snow. The kids thought it was so neat, so they had to run out and play in it. They had a great time, and got very wet.

It was the perfect day for soup, so I cooked Meatball Stew for dinner. It was delicious. I also was in the kitchen all day cooking Salsa. I got 18 pints today. I have just about 40 tomatoes left from my garden that are just a little orange. I am waiting for them to turn red and then I will either make Spaghetti Sauce out of them, or Stewed Tomatoes. Hopefully I can get that done next week. Then I will be done bottling for the season. I really only ended up keeping up with the tomatoes this year and not canning anything else.

At Home Sledding

Yesterday my kids were dragging each other on blankets and calling it sledding. They were also trying to water ski while standing up, and Landon would tell Kylie she needed to say "Hit It" before he would go. I thought it was pretty cute so I got some pictures and video coverage. It sure makes having no carpet pretty fun in the house.

Landon And Kylie Sledding

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to get the kids to feel the baby move. It seems whenever they get their hands on my stomach that he stops moving. But today they were finally able to feel him. It was pretty fun.
