Halloween Laugh.

(warning, while reading this, you will understand why I don't get nominated for Mother of the Year. It might sound a little mean)
while we were out trick or treating last night I had such a good laugh at the expense of my son Kael. 
It had gotten dark and we were at the end of the neighborhood and hitting the last street before we headed home. Kael had gotten ahead of the group by one house. So he ventured up to this house with a ghost by the door. These people had rigged a smoke machine to their doorbell, so when you pushed the bell, the smoke came shooting out from under the ghost with some force. Kael pushed that doorbell, anxiously awaiting the door to open and instead got blasted with smoke all around his feet. He came flying off that porch, mouth open wide, screaming like a wild man!!! I was laughing so hard. I was bent over I was laughing so hard. (like I said, I know it makes me sound horrible). Kael made it all the way back out to me, realized how hard I was laughing and started laughing too. He looked at me and said "Mom, that house really scared me!". The people were so nice. They came out to give him candy and tried to apologize for scaring him so badly. Unfortunately I was still laughing uncontrollably. I know. It sounds bad, but it really was SO FUNNY!!

Trick or Treating!

Every year since we have moved here, we have gone to our friends the Marcum's to trick or treat. 
We go with a few other friends and have a good time walking the neighborhood. 
Here are my little trick or treaters. 
 Pink Princess-Ninja-Red Power Ranger- Pumpkin
 Here we are, ready to roll. Garran could not come to later due to work. 
 I took a couple pictures of pumpkins the kids liked. The one above is Jake the Dog. 
 These are those little minions. 
Everyone got home, ran to the couch, and looked at their spoils.....and then partook! 
Hope Everyone had a Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Party Time!!

Today the kids had their Halloween Parties at school and of course the parade that they always do. 
I am really sorry that these pictures are out of order, but it's late and I am tired from a very long day, so try and stay with me!!

Halloween Fun!

So we had our church Halloween party and trunk or treat last night. 
The kids were more than excited. 
Everyone dressed up except for Garran. He is not big into costumes, but he came straight from work, so i gave him a pass!
 Here is Red Ranger Cullan
 Ninja Kael
 and Pink Princess Briea.
Ayla was not in her costume. She was going to be a pumpkin but it was just to hot. So I just put her in one of Briea's old dance outfits. 
At the church, they had all sorts of games set up. 
 Here is Cullan bobbing for doughnuts. 
 These two lovely ladies are some of the young women i get to work with each sunday.  The handsome fella in the middle is one of our awesome young men.
 These are some of our newest young women. They just started coming to young women's in october!
 These are my friends the Marcums. How cute are they? If there was a costume contest, they would have won. Does that cute little fella look familiar? Yep he is the cutie I watch during the day.
 Ayla was eating dinner and this serious face. I was so glad I caught it. 
 More of our awesome young women!
 Briea intensely eating her sucker!
 My friend Becca and her cute new arrival. Baby Eli was the cutest sheriff there. 
 I dressed up as a witch.
 How adorable is my little ballerina?
Oh i just love this little naughty girl!
 Breia and her friend Maggie. Maggie's family came as the crew from Scooby Do!
 Phillip cracks me up!!
 A witchy mama!
Me and the hubby!
I am hoping Halloween is warm enough for the kids to have fun. If not at least they had a good time at the church party!!

our story

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

these are my people! =)
