Halloween Party - sorry so delayed...

the Snedakers...

the Cutlers...

and the Sorensens's :)

Halloween Fun!

We went to the pumpkin patch with the Sorensens - it was so much fun. Here are the cutest pumpkins we found:

Immediately Kenzie fell and got dirt on her pants. We didn't hear the end of it the whole trip. We had to go to Grandma's and change (thanks Grandma and Addie)!!

For Family Home Evening on Monday we carved the pumpkins. Jack dove right in, but every time asked Kenzie to touch inside the pumpkin, she said "NO!!". Paul picked up some of the guts and pretended to put them on her - you can see how well that went.

They turned out pretty well. Jack wanted his to be "with crazy teeth". Kenzie wanted her to be a scary Zonbie (see video below), but we ended up with a scary warewolf instead. Jarons just looks like him - don't you think?

Okay - we are unsure of where she came up with this. We didn't even know she knew what a zombie was. But she started doing this and we had to get it on tape - so funny.

The Ring Bearer and the Flower Girl

Our good friend Olivia got married over the weekend and she asked Jack to be the ring bearer and Kenzie to be the flower girl. They were absolutely adorable! They did a great job standing still during the ceremony - and even kept their clothes clean the entire day.

Pictures of the bride, groom and the wedding - can you see my sweet kids?:

Look what Jack found laying around...

Cute Pictures of the kids...

Jack found the bubbles - too funny!

This is Kenzie's fresh wake-up face. I've been trying to capture it and finally did. She is so cute first thing in the morning!

This is Jaron's "what did I do Mom?" face - right after he has done something he knows he shouldn't have. Pretty angelic, hard to stay mad at this face!

8 Wonderful Years

On September 15th it was 8 years since we were married in the Salt Lake Temple. The day couldn't have been any more different from the beautiful sunny day in 2001 :) We barely saw each other between work and meetings, and when Paul got home the bed was full of kids.

I couldn't imagine my life without Paul in it - I am so grateful for the last eight years!

Love you Baby!!!

First day of school and other

Jack is in First grade - I can not believe it. Here are some pictures from his first day:

Here is a picture from last year first day - same jacket, bigger kid :)

Kenzie discovered static electricity (or it discovered her?) and got stuck under the stroller.

Jaron finally made it into the pool - he worked on it all summer - HOORAY!

The Birthday/Anniversary Runaway

Paul and I ran away for a night for my birthday and our anniversary combined. Grandma Sampson came up and watched the kids while we went for our adventure (thanks Grandma!).

We started out on my birthday going to breakfast with the kids. It was fun, but IHOP was super duper slow. We had lots of fun creating towers with the coffee creamers while waiting :) Then Paul and I dropped the kids off and we went golfing. I haven't been in years and it took until about th 7th hole for me to get my swing back, but eventually I did okay. Paul was awesome! And, luckily, the crazy old couple we were paired with didn't get angry at our "creative rules". Jenn, you were thought of often while there :)

After that we checked in to a great hotel and had a nice dinner. The next day we slept in, kind of. Paul slept in and I was able to lay in bed and read. It was really nice. We saw Harry Potter in the IMAX - the first half hour was 3-D. It was really cool. We looked cool doing it too :)

The end of the trip was the SeaHawks game. It was SO much fun! We would definitely do it all again.
