Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween lasted a few days this year!
On Friday the 27th we went to a Halloween Party at the Carter's house. It was a lot of fun, we all dressed up, ate spooky or nauseating looking treats and played some crazy games! I made a disgusting looking kitty litter cake, that just about made my mom vomit, but the guys thought it was pretty funny to eat and make comments about it while eating it, (I won't give you the details of their comments here, you'll have to use your imagination, if it's disgusting, they said it!).

Before the party we went to our wards trunk or treat, The kids got quite a bit of loot and had fun seeing their friends there! Look at all that candy, and they got even more than that last night!

For Halloween, after flu shots, we went to the mall and got some pictures taken, (though the kids would not cooperate when they were in their costumes!). Then we did the mall trick or treat. Bekah and Chad also hit my mom's neighborhood while Topher slept. There is so much candy in this house right now! We are all a little sweeted out! Hope everyone else had an equally delicious Halloween!

A family of Royals

At our Family Home Evening tonight, we learned that we are all royalty!
Our crowns say "I am a Child of God."
In our church, we have sung this song since we were Bekah's age. These are the lyrics;

I am a child of God

And He has sent me here

Has given me a earthly home

With parents kind and dear

Lead me, guide me, walk beside me

Help me find the way,

Teach me all that I must do

To live with Him someday.

Pumpkin Patch

This week we went out to Sauvie Island to the Pumpkin Patch with family friends, the Simpsons and the Woolners. We went on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and picked out our pumpkins. I tried to get some pictures of my little pumpkins together but they wouldn't look at the camera! We played on a giant pyramid of hay bails and saw some farm animals in the barn. Bekah got her finger bit by a rooster inside and is still pretty distraught about it. We had a lot of fun enjoying the beautiful fall weather with friends and finished up the night eating at Sunny Han's our most favorite Chinese restaraunt in the whole world! It's sooooo yummy! Thank you Sunny! (He happened to be at the location we were at last night, I almost went and asked him for his autograph! Hee Hee!) Bekah is being a pumpkin for Halloween this year, so I got a couple pictures of her in her costume out there! Have a good week and click on the link below to play a fun little Halloween hangman game!

Halloween Hangman

HoOrAy 4 ThE zOo!

This week we went to the Oregon Zoo and took Tabitha along for the ride. It was $2 Tuesday, which happens the 2nd Tuesday of every month. Our kids are free because they are so little, so we spent the day there for $5 including parking! This was Topher's first zoo experience and he loved it! He didn't want to miss a thing! Bekah had a blast as usual, especially since we let her think she was in charge of this trip and let her tell us where we were going next. We had a really great time. This zoo is the coolest zoo I've been to, the habitats are set up really well so you can see the animals great, unlike Hogle zoo! We really love it and the kids have so much fun when we go. I hope everyone gets a chance to come see it with us.
