Friends

Our dear friends are leaving tomorrow morning for Utah. Change is hard, but inevitable. I want to thank Corinne and her family for welcoming ours to this area. Corinne and I have had many good times together and our kids have had wonderful times together. In fact we sort of had a family melt down in the car on the way home after Kaedon and Brandon had their little good-bye. If there is any comfort in this move is that they are moving to Utah and so the good-bye is not forever... just a see you later!
To the Apeztiguias: we love you, we will miss you and we hope all goes well as you get settled into your new home. Good luck and we will see you soon!

Cute Trick or Treaters

We had lots of fun trick or treating this year with a ninja, Princess Leia, and a puppy dog! The kids were very excited... Logan LOVED all of the candy and has since become somewhat of an addict. He looks for it everywhere, asks for it all the time and when he's told no, throws temper tantrums! The only downfall of our Halloween evening was our stroller broke! Thank goodness for good friends who helped carry tired Logie and even ending up doing a patch job for the stroller! It was a lot of fun, but I am glad it's over! We had a busy week with LOTS of Halloween parties, but the kids had fun which is what it's all about!

Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins!

Brandon's spider, Logan's face, and Lindsay's headless horseman

We had fun decorating pumpkins this year! Shane and I swore we were'nt going to help as much, but in the end we just followed the directions the kids gave us on how to carve their pumpkins (again)! No one liked cleaning them out... especially Logan, here is a video of what he thought of that part! Of course they all got smashed that night and when the kids got up to check their pumpkins Sunday morning, Lindsay began crying and Brandon swore he was going to hunt them down and smash THEIR pumpkins!
