Family Photo Shoot 2010

The pictures from our family photo shoot this year are in. It took me forever to get them up on the blog. I loved the way most of them turned out. It was so hard to get all the kids to smile at the same time - AHHH; hence why their aren't many family shots. Here are my favorites....

I just want to grab her tongue. This is my favorite picture of her from the shoot.

Love my little girl!

I think Daven is the photogenic one of our family. Mike is very photogenic, too. I love the way Daven's turned out, that is why I've posted so many of him. So if in 100 years, my kids are reading this, I love you all the same!!

My favorite family shot. Don't look too closely or you'll see Logan's red socks. I had everyone's outfits ready, just not enough clean black socks. oops..

I can't even tell you how in love I am with this picture of Mike and Aves. I think it should be sold in picture frames at the store. Just cut off the extra space on the side.

Happy Halloween 2010

Here are our Halloween Happenings this year.

Saturday night, we went to the Ward Halloween Party. Mike and the youth were in charge of the spook alley. So I was in charge of this crazy bunch for the evening.

This was taken before the spook alley. After the spook alley, Avery was super scared of everything. It took lots of coaxing to get her to "trunk or treat" at our Ward's Halloween party.

The rest of these pictures are from Halloween Night. I love this one. Avery loves birds. I'm sure she's pointing one out for the camera.

Go Utes! Can you tell that Mike had a hand in picking out her costume this year? Mike's mom went to the U of U store and got this for her. It is so cute! We are so glad she did that for us. When we got it in the mail, Avery kept saying, "princess, princess." I know, I can't believe she knows what a princess is. But, she was excited about it when it came.

Jengo Fett...I can't remember exactly what he does or who he is. Daven knows, though. That is all that matters!

Last year it was Daven Vader, this year Logan Vader joined our family. He was the sweetest Vader I've ever met.

Aside from being excited when her costume arrived, Avery was hesitant to get dressed up for Halloween. She threw a fit. But, as soon as I asked if she wanted some lipstick on her cheeks, she perked right up! No.more.tears. Just like that! How does she know what lipstick is? And what am I going to do since she loves to wear it? I think that was her favorite part about Halloween. Is she starting a little early? Should I be worried?

This is Mike's favorite picture.

The weather was beautiful. Not hot, but not cold either. Gotta love the AZ trick-or-treating.

This face says it all....

Carving Pumpkins

Avery learned a new word while carving pumpkins this year: "EWWWW!" It was hilarious, she kept saying it over an over as we scooped out all the guts.

The kids had lots of fun. I am so glad daddy is good at carving pumpkins. If it were up to me, there would only be circles and triangles on there. Mike made some good faces.

Our neighbor, Mike came over to say hello. Our boys LOVE him. Probably because he's usually in his driveway working on his car or motorcycle. They have been saying hi to him for the last 4 years every time we come & go!

My 3 little pumpkins!!

Go Braves!

Go Braves! The first T-ball game of the season was on Saturday. This was Logan's first T-ball game. Daven has played 2 seasons before this. We are excited because Nate, Daven's best buddy is on their team, too!

I was so worried that Logan was going to be the smallest one on the team. He isn't. I was thrilled. But, he's still pretty small! His pants drown him. But, he is so excited to get to play. He is our Lefty and is a good hitter. Daven is starting to get the hang of things and even mangaged to get a few people out during the game!

Logan's friend, Sadie. She told him that he is the only boy she likes. I'm glad, because she sure is cute!!!

Little sister gets so excited to go to baseball, but then gets bored after a few minutes.

Go Atlanta Braves!! We'll keep you posted.

Reverently, Quietly

Mike snapped these pictures of my sweet baby girl a few weeks ago before church. She is so precious. We love her so much!

Reverently.......

Quietly........

Doing Something So Naughty!!!

My darling girl decided to try and give herself a shampoo yesterday.

I guess she's figured out how to use the liquid soap dispenser.

I seriously have to follow her everywhere she goes. She can open all the baby-proofed cabinets. She can push a kitchen chair up to the counter to get things out of reach. And if you don't watch her, she likes to jump off the couch. I'm going to hide all the scissors. I'm sure a haircut it next.
