Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween this year. We had the ward Trunk or treat on Saturday night, then went out into the neighborhood with Kam, Sarah, Bentley, and Sophie on Halloween night. Our neighborhood goes all out. There was a cotton candy machine, haunted houses, BBQ's and TONS of people. The kids had a blast.

After all of the trick or treating festivities, we hung out outside for a while because our neighbor had loud music playing outside his house. The kids couldn't help but to bust a move.

Randomness

These are just a few pictures that don't really fit anywhere. Lately Mila thinks it is fun to climb into the laundry basket and scoot herself under the TV stand to watch TV. She is a silly monkey. 

It finally started getting cooler, so we decided to have a picnic while the kids were at school.

It was Aunt Dallyn's turn to make dinner the other night, so she got the stuff to make spaghetti squash spaghetti. The older kids really wanted to help. They had a really good time.

Timmy and Maura started piano lessons a couple of months ago, and this little loves to play too. When she gets bored, she goes over to the piano, turns it on by herself and plays. It keeps her entertained for quite a while. She is always making us smile. :)

Maura's lost a tooth!!

Maura finally lost her first tooth!!! She had been waiting for a long time. We figured that since she didn't get her first tooth until after she was 1, it would be a while before she lost her first tooth. So, a couple of months into 2nd grade, it came out. She was a little teary about it during the process, but super proud of herself once it came out. Good job Maura!

18 months

This little beauty is 18 months this month. She weighs 22 lbs. 12 oz, and is 31.5 inches tall. This little girl rules the roost over here. She gets into EVERYTHING and speaks jibberish most of the time. She is starting to say a few words like mom, dad, snack, ball, bath, etc. We are so lucky to have her in our home. We love her so much!!

24th of July in Snowflake

We went to Snowflake for the 24th celebration and once again TJ had to work, so I took the kids by myself. It was hard work, but the kids were in heaven. It's really nice to get together with family and we missed the ones who weren't able to come.

Riding Chance

I loved this picture of Topher telling the Chance to "stay still". He is a funny kid.

The kids with Great Grandpa Webb

Papa taking the kids on a ride in the tractor. I'm not going to lie...I was a little bit nervous.

Waiting for the parade to start.

Enjoying the parade

Timmy's 9th birthday

Timmy turned 9 on the 13th! We opened presents that morning, had a bday/pool party my side of the family that night, and had a shared bday party with Papa Rubalcava on Sunday. It was quite the weekend, but it was nice to celebrate our Timmy.

I don't know why he is holding up ten fingers cause he's really 9. :)
