Nya Turns 3

For Nya's 3rd birthday she wanted to have a Princess Party. My friend Kristen Anderson made this awesome castle cake for her. She invited 10 little princesses and we had a ball. They made necklaces, played games, ate, and of course opened presents. She just had one little tantrum (which is good for her) so all in all the day went pretty good!

Clockwise: Nya, Jenna, Chloe, Mya, Brielle, Ada, Marley and...

Owen getting in on the birthday goods

Nya was so excited to have a big girl bed. We were so worried that she would keep getting out all night but she has beens staying in her bed so good! [knock on wood]

There she is in her big girl bed.

Well we hope you had a good birthday Nya! You are such a little pill but bring so much joy to our lives also. You are so proud to be 3 and tell everyone you see! You will grab random people at church and tell them about your big girl bed or about one of your dolls that you got for your birthday. We love the energy and enthusiasm you have for life.

We Love You!

The Haunting Memories of Halloweens Past

So Autumn is probably my favorite season. I love when the air turns crisp, the leaves change, Birthday celebrations, and Halloween. I have a lot of fond memories of driving through Ogden Canyon as a kid to play in all the fall leaves. I also loved being scared - Whatching scary movies, going to Haunted Houses, etc. Fall's my season. So I got a little nostalgic when Shad found this picture in his car. Awww, one of our first Halloweens together. I looked through the archives to find some fun Halloween pictures to share and this is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy...or do I? HAHAHAHA (said in a freaky voice)

We went to a Halloween Party that some of Shad's Co-workers were throwing. Mind you none of his work friends had met me so they were clueless as to who I was and who was under the Jack head. It made for an interesting evening of "tricking" others for Halloween. Good thing I'm not shy!

Just in case you didn't figure it out, I went as Wendy from "Wendy's" and Shad went as Jack from "Jack in the Box"

So who is this freaky family? MOM: Skeleton Bride; DAD: Escaped Convict; SON: Dracula Boy

NO! You can't make me wear this ridiculous costume!

OK, OK I'll do it...but ONLY for candy!!!

SUPER WHY! I am so fly in my cape! No pun intended.

Tinkerbell? More like Stinkerbell. Man she has kept us busy from day one. Only one year old here but skipped walking and went straight to running. LOVE YOU SIS!
