TrICK or TrEaT!

This year's Halloween was a lot of fun. Ashtyn was Tinkerbell, Camden was Peter Pan, and Collin was a frog. I made Tinkerbell and Peter Pan and I thought they turned out pretty darn cute! I was going for cute, but cheap. I made them both for about $20, which I feel like is really cheap for TWO costumes. Collin's was one that I made for Camden when he was one year.

We started out our Trick or Treating at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Then we went down to Grandma Johnson's. After, we went to our wards Trunk or Treat. They had soup and rolls for dinner, and then the trick or treating. The kids had a lot of fun, and it was short and sweet. We were home by 7:10. The kids dumped out their candy and ate till they were sick. My theory is the faster it's gone, the better! Then we all watched the movie "Hocus Pocus," Which is the best Halloween movie of all time! Camden calls it "The Hocus and the Pocus." Ha, Ha.

Pan and Tink

Peter Pan, even though lots of people called him Robin Hood. He loved his costume and surprisingly kept his hat on the whole time.

You won't find a cuter frog around! He too kept his head piece on the whole night.

Assessing the damage.

Major Catch up!!

No one probably cares about these long over due pictures, but here are a couple of the pictures I recovered from my memory card. I was BEYOND excited that I got so many retrieved!

With Princess Tiana

In the Farris Wheel, one of our FAVORITES!

Ashtyn and Ariel

With Cinderella (I am so bummed it is SO dark)

With Belle

On Autopia

Camden was too scared to get in the picture alone, silly boy!

The dessert plate at our character lunch. It was so yummy! That sea shell is white chocolate!

Ariel again.

Also, I have been meaning to write down a couple of things that Ashtyn said. I swear that girl is on a whole other level than I ever was at 4/5 years old!

*So we were having family scripture reading and it was Ashtyn's turn. I was helping her read her verse, so I would read a couple words, then she copied. So it went like this:

Me: :..."were to flee from Jerusalem"

Ashtyn:..."were to LEAVE from Jerusalem. " "I just said LEAVE because FLEA is just a little bug that makes you itch. So I just said leave cause thats what it means anyways."

Seriously, she just picks up on stuff so fast, and I really didn't think she paid attention to the words, and just copied what I say. I am glad she understands a lot of what we read though!

*Then, we were sitting at the table and the remote control was sitting on the table. It was upside down so all the buttons were facing the table. She pulled it toward her and said:

Ashtyn: "This remote has FRICTION."

Me: "What? What does that mean"

Ashtyn: "It's like rubber can't spin or move very good because it has too much friction"

What the heck, I am 26 and I would never think to use that word (in correct context,too!) in everyday life. I was so impressed that she totally understood that. I think she saw it on "Sid the Science Kid" and remembered it.

Just a funny: We got my brother a 750 piece puzzle for his birthday and when she saw the number of pieces on the front of the box , she said:

"Whoa! Look how old you have to be to play this puzzle!" Ha, Ha

*Last one: She heard the word ISRAEL on TV and said:

"Hey, that's like number 10." (Meaning the 10th article of faith!) She just remembers so much, and LOVES to learn.

This is for Janae

Remember when I said I deleted all my disneyland pictures, well, I actually got a bunch of them back with this site! It was amazing. It scans your memory card from your computer and you can preview all the pictures it recovers. It has thousands of testimonials of how great the product works. Then, if you want to pay for it you can. Well worth the price. I am gonna post all those disneyland pictures, but I have just been SO busy. (Actually, that's an UNDERSTATEMENT!) Anyways, this is it:

Collin's 1st Birthday!!!

This handsome boy turned ONE year old on Monday. I seriously cannot believe it! Here are a couple of things about Collin:

* He is really small for his age. I think he is about 16 lbs. We'll see at his check up on Tuesday.

* He is so happy and content

* He has a blanket with silky edges and when he's tired he sticks it in his mouth and chews it while he sleeps. Wierd! He's never had a binky

* He has been sleeping through the night for a couple months now. He sleeps from about 7:30-7:30

* He loves the bath, He actually cries when I get him out

*He is a quiet baby... I think his brother and sister make enough noise

*He loves his mommy!

2 weeks

4 mos.

8 mos.

Here are a couple I took on his birthday! He is so cute!!!!

We had a little party for him with my family. We ate dinner, cake and ice cream, and presents, of course! He didn't really care about much, but he was so cute! I feel a little guilty because it was so low-key. For the other two kids, I threw 2 first birthday parties for them (one friend, one family party) I hope he doesn't hold it against me :) Hopefully I am not the only Mom who does this either. I think with each kid I have gotten lazier and lazier!

Happy Birthday to Camden!!!

October 18, 2007 our family was blessed with this sweet little boy! Camden is turning 3 and I just can't believe it! He is the sweetest little boy ever. Camden is a very good listener for the most part, and very loving. He very rarely is mean to anyone and is so kind. He loves to play any sort of sport. He could play catch, baseball, golf, or football ALL day! He is currently obsessed with the movie "Angels in the Outfield" especially the baseball parts and angels. He loves to go to nursery and play with all the kids and eat snacks. He can sing the ABC's and we are starting to work on recognition of the letters too! He knows his colors and so so much more! Camden is such a good big brother to Collin and plays with him so cute! He is just such a blessing to our family and glad he is ours!

Sad, I barely remember him this small! 2 weeks

What a handsome boy at 1 year!

Always been a good smiler for the camera. Age 2.

He is getting to be such a big BOY! Almost 3 years

We had a little birthday party for him on Saturday and invited a few of our good friends. I will post those pictures a little later.
(Be prepared for many more Birthday posts as we have 2 more in the next 2 weeks! )
