Halloween Pictures

The Witch and her Cat-in-the-Hat?

Carving Pumpkins!

                               

This is when they first tried on their costumes (Trevor still has his price tag on his arm!)

Going to a Halloween party!

We love the Cat-in-the-Hat!

Kaylee did most of her make-up!!!

At the ward Halloween party

This year for Halloween we had a witch, a Cat in the Hat and a little Giraffe!  And the best part about the costumes is that I bought all of them at Goodwill for under $30!  (Well, I made the cats tie and gloves though out of some felt I had on hand!)

Conference is for Barbie dolls too!!!

 So, it was Conference last weekend and I wanted to print out some fun conference packets for the kids to do on sugardoodle.net  I came across a printable mini television set with the prophet talking on it.  Since my girls have been into playing barbies a lot, we printed it out and made them a TV so that they could watch conference as well!  Below are some silly pictures of our faces in the dollhouse.

Tim had to take a potty break.  ("Hey! Don't take a picture of me!")

Trevor is now 2!

 On Sept. 23rd, Trevor turned two years old!!!  Here he is blowing out his candles! 

(We had to light it twice because he blew the first ones out too soon! We wanted to sing to him first!)

Trevor is so kind to share his toys!

Alison is having fun playing with Trevor's new toys!

 Here he is as a two year old a few days later with fingernail polish on his cheeks!

Kaylee forgot to lock it up and out of reach!

Hmmm..I guess he wants to have a big smile!  He kinda looks like the joker!

We are getting a new church building!!!

 On Sept. 17th, 2011 we went to a historic event.  We went to the groundbreaking ceremony for the new L.D.S. church building they are going to build. It is A LOT closer to us than the one we attend now.  We are all very excited!  The building is scheduled to be all done next August!  Then, instead of taking 20 minutes to get to church, it will only be about 5 minutes!  Hooray!  Kaylee was invited to be one of the primary children to use a ground breaking shovel! (She is on the end in the picture above.)

 Here is an artist's impression of what it will look like.  Isn't it pretty?

Our friends took our picture by the
"Look what we are building here" sign!
(Justin was working at the time)

Rain, Rain, Don't Go Away!

It has been raining lately and we were so excited to go out and enjoy it!  I think this is the first time Trevor has been in the rain actually!  Pathetic I know!  It only rains like 4 times a year here it seems like!  (The girls look like cute little flamingos!)

Wounded Lizard

Check our this desert iguanna I found in Casey's mouth! I rescued it and put Casey inside.  

Poor guy has cat teeth marks on his shoulder and half a tail left!

Fun with SLIME!

 The other day the Kaylee wanted to do a science experiment, so we looked on the internet to find our favorite science page which is : http://www.sciencebob.com/experiments/index.php

We learned how to make slime!

 aLiSoN's SLiMe NeCkLaCe!

 How far will it stretch before the point of breakage?

 a sLiMe PuDdLe!

 Alison is showing us her slime.

 Kaylee has made a sLiMe bracelet!

 Cool!

 You might want to make some for your kids!  They love playing with their slime.

 Here is Kaylee sporting her slime necklace!

 Kaylee can almost see through it now!

Alison's green thumb!

Swimming Pictures

 So, now that Summer is almost over, I've decided to post some pictures of the kids in the pool!

It's nice having a pool!

Our Ward Camping Trip

 We went to our ward camp-out on the first weekend of August.  Here are some pictures I got.  Above and below are the family (except for me of course!) in their sleeping bags after a cold night's rest!

 Alison

 Setting up the tent!

 Trevor "holding" the tent stakes for dad!

 This is a pile of pine cones that the kids made.  Kaylee was complaining because she was bored and I told her to collect pine cones and make a big pile.  To my surprise she did it!

 Way over there where the canopies are is where the "kitchen" was and the campfire.

 Kaylee is getting ready to try out the new BB gun that we bought the day before!

I think she may be better at it than I am!
