Happy Birthday Mom

We celebrated my mom's b-day by waking up at the crack of dawn (4 a.m. to be exact) and going Black Friday shopping. Even though it was only my mom and I this year we couldn't stop the tradition (thanks dad for sleeping on my couch while I was out shopping, and for Kirk who was hard at work while I was spending his hard earned cash). We hit Old Navy, Target, JoAnns, and Office Max. We were done by 8:30, just in time to get home and feed a baby.

Oh and by the way, the candles on the cake are not really her age.

Happy Halloween

I was frantically sewing Halloween costumes all day (and week) so we decided to treat ourselves to Papa Murphy's Jack o' Lantern pizza, which was very delicious but the best part was the Cinnamon wheel. This was our first experience with the Cinnamon wheel and we will definately be doing it again- mmm good!!!

Katelyn and Kaleb wanted to be Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker so that started the Halloween theme for us. Carter was R2D2 and Emma was Master Yoda (we know we cross dressed her but couldn't help it, it was just too cute). Kirk was Anikin and I was Princess Amadala (aka Padme). It was the first year Kirk and I have both dressed up since before we had kids, but it was so much fun I think we might have to do it again next year.

Good Times

Not a day goes by where we don't laugh at something our children have said or done.

My mom brought cupcakes over and we set them on the counter. Later, Carter climbed on the barstool and onto the counter and partook. He was so proud of himself when I found him.

Yesterday, Kaleb was pretending to be blind during dinner (not sure why). As dinner went on he tattled on something he saw Katelyn do, and we reminded him that he was blind. He quickly replied, "I was, but Heavenly Father and Jesus healed me".
