The Family Halloween Party '09

My nephew Nick, Dereks sister Kira and bro-in law Jimmy at Aunt Lesas in Mapleton! The party of the year!

Kate was Jasmine, the black Jasmine wig got itchy so she we improvised with her hair, we let the boys choose their costumes... Conner is a punk Zombie and Evan is a Zombie. We realized later they cant wear blood to school so they will be something else that day! Audrey is a Bear, although she was called a puppy and a lamb more often!

this only made 3 babies cry... I felt bad didnt think of that aspect!

We love this party more than any other halloween stuff! There is a fishing pond, pony rides, games, treasure hunt, fortune teller and a pinata to name a few! The food is awesome and Dereks family is amazing to do this every year!

Baby LOVES food!

Audrey loves eating, and here she is with Bananas all over!!! Of course the kids loved to help!

So Cal trip '09

The trip started out like every year, but it turned out to be really hard this year! Audrey was great, it just was tiring! Kate and Evan fought liks cats and dogs and it rained all day on October 14th (conners Bday) I headed to the hotel because of Audrey, it made the lines shorter, but it was slick I had to buy new shoes because I kept slipping!

Its a Small World was finally open! 2 yrs in a row it was closed! Audrey LOVED it!

Evan being himself, much better with him and Kate split up that day! Dereks sisters took Kate and we had the older boys and Audrey, the rides suck there and we were tired beyond belief, but it was still fun!
