Moms 50th Birthday!!!

 Joes folks watched the kids while Joe and I had a little vacation in AZ.  It was absolutely delightful.  I really needed a break from my little rug rats.  Joe and I being there for moms birthday was a complete surprise!! Rob picked us up from the air port and we showed up to surprise mom.  She was in a daze when she saw us because they had just moved into their new house and it was a bit of a mess.  It all worked out though and we had fun. On Saturday night, Rob told her that he was taking us (Summer and Cade as well) out to dinner but the restaurant was a surprise (the melting pot!!)  Little did she know 30 people were there waiting for her. The look on Moms face when she walked in was priceless!!! I am so glad we could be there! Thank you Rob for flying us out! Your awesome

Summy and I all dolled up before dinner

 The melting pot was incredible!!! The picture above was dessert! We dipped these goodies in melted chocolate! Hopefully will get to go to this fabulous place again! Maybe date night!

Halloween 2011 (better late than never ;o)

Halloween was so fun! I decided to make Nolans costume this year (last minute) His favorite part was the belt complete with purple samurai sward.  he wore his costume to his school and ward parties and trick or treating so we got great use out of it. Our ward had an amazing Halloween party this year! They had games and candy, super fun food and a trunk-or-treat after! I forgot my camera but got some good pictures before we left. He was the cutest Ninja I had ever seen!!! Sorry, no costume for Shyloh this year ;o) Next year will be fun though! I'm brainstorming already!

Summer came over and made Dracula apples,  mummy dogs and fingers.  Also she fried up the best taquitos I have ever feasted upon! Thanks for making our Halloween so fun Summer!

  We have a great neighborhood for trick-or-treating.  It was so fun seeing people from church and other neighbors.   There were so many kids and parents out.  Nolan and sky started fighting over who would ring the door bell first.  Sky was faster so Nolan would lay in the grass shrieking when he would get to the door second. He was loosing his voice so he sounded like a crotchety old lady. It was quite chili out so when we were done we came back to the house for some steaming hot chocolate and fresh baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! It was a perfect night.

We also had a hoot painting our pumpkins we got from the pumpkin patch

The babies had fun too :-)

Joe wore a ski mask, kids just stared at him including his own!
