October

October started off with another fun visit from Granana and Papa! The kids each got a new Build-a-Bear animal. I liked that the official name Brenan chose for his puppy is DOG. Haha! We love it when they visit! Here is Papa loving on Kes!

She got some fun stuff for her birthday!

Brenan and I went and ate lunch with her at school. She was SO excited to see us there!

Our cakes are never fancy but my kids LOVe them because they get to choose out the flavor and help frost and put on the sprinkles and candles. Which is why there almost always too many candles!! =)

She had a Littlest Pet Shop party and I am lame and hardly took any pictures. We are so lucky to have Keslie in our family. She is kind and helpful and funny and smart. She loves to play and put on make up. I can't believe she's 6!!

For Nathan's birthday we made him a fried ice-cream cake because he loves fried ice cream! These kids love their daddy! For his birthday date we met up with Steve and Mandi for some fajitas! I love this man and still feel overwhelmed with gratitude that he's mine.

Here they are at the trunk or treat: a dragon, a cat, and "spider girl".

Hahahahahahaha! We never looked better. The bishop thought his shirt said "Where's the beer?" instead of beef.

Our pumpkins.
