Happy Halloween!

Better late than never! We had a really fun Halloween! Almost no meltdowns... but it wouldn't be Halloween without the spooky emotions of children on a sugar high! We missed our ward party (apparantly we missed the memo!) but we made it over to my parent's house for dinner and enjoyed a visit with Grandma and Grandpa Ray. Then we headed down the street to the good 'ole Sixtieth Ward carnival! After all the fun we could handle there, we headed back to the neighborhood and went on our first ever official trick or treat run! When we turned the corner the entire culdesac was filled with lawn chairs and children! We didn't even have to knock on the door because they were all sitting in a semi-circle holding out their buckets of candy!! It was the most efficient trick-or-treating experience ever! The best part was the next morning we told them to pick their ten favorite pieces and then gladly handed over the rest!!! Innocence is BLISS!!

Fun in the Autumn Sun!!

McKay and I surprised the girls and got them out of school early to have a "Family Field Trip!" We all went to Schnepf's Farm and had a great time! Family outings are the BEST!!

Our Sleeping Boy!

Now that you know where he was born, these images will make a little more sense! There's just something he loves about the stairs...
