Halloween

Sadie had a fun first Halloween. She was given several outfits, so here she is in some of them.

This was the year of borrowed and reused Halloween costumes. Usually I have their costumes all bought and ready to go by the end of September. This year Blake didn't know what he wanted to be and Logan could still care less about dressing up. So at the last minute we decided on Blake being a Clone Trooper, Logan Darth Vader and Sadie a Ladybug.

It all worked out and everyone enjoyed their costumes.

We went trick or treating with some of our cousins. Ellie was Rosetta from the Tinker Bell movie, Hunter was a dog, Blake, Sadie, Logan and Carson as a policeman.

We went to do our usually trick or treating at the stores. Logan lasted about 5 mins if that.

My kids were so tired and grumpy we didn't stay long before we headed off to the grandparents ward truck or treat. Luckily Blake and Logan got a little nap on the way over.

It's fun going to their ward because we get to see friends we grew up with. Here is Brandon Kahn with his new baby girl.

After the ward truck or treat grandma took the boys (who got their second bought of energy) trick or treating to a couple of her neighbors. This was the only time Logan would trick or treat by himself. Before he was winning and crying and didn't want to have anything to do with it. It was a fun long day. The nice part was we started early, so we finished early and the boys were home and in bed just a little after their normal bedtime.

Awards

We were invited to Blake's school because he was receiving some awards. Rich was able to take a break from work and come see it. Blake was so excited because Rich came and took Blake to school in his police van. Of course we came prepared with toys for Logan.

His school gives out dog tags to all the students who are advanced or proficient in the areas of language arts and math. So every semester the students can collect dog tags for their good grades and add them to their chain.

It is red ribbon week at school, so everyday they had a different activity. Today as you can tell was crazy hair day. Blake with his dog tags. He got one for being advanced in Language Arts and one for being proficient in math. We are so proud of our Blakster, he is doing so good in school and loves going.

Pumpkin Patch

After we picked up Blake from school we surprised the kids with a trip to a pumpkin patch. Sadie slept the whole time we were there.

They had rides Blake rode on the swings, but Logan didn't want to.

The boys loved all the bounce slides, and mazes. They spent the whole time doing the slides and could care less about the pumpkins.

They had an obstacle course where the boys got to race each other.

We gave Logan a big head start, but he still usually lost. Blake is pretty fast and he didn't have socks on so he didn't slip.

This pumpkin patch had enormous pumpkins.

We didn't buy this pumpkin, actually we only bought two little dollar pumpkins. We already have pumpkins at home, but went to the pumpkin patch for the experience. The boys loved it and had so much fun!

BYU Football Game

Today we went down to San Diego to see the BYU football team play. We went with several of our friends.

We got down there early and had a tailgate party and ate lots of good food.

The boys had fun playing with their friends in the parking lot before the game. We left Sadie at home with Grandma and Grandpa since it was a long, hot day.

We sat about seven rows behind the field goal post. It was hot outside, but luckily the shade covered our seats about 20 minutes into the game.

BYU won the game and even though it was San Diego States homecoming game there were about the same number of BYU fans. After the game all the BYU players lined up and walked around the stadium giving high fives to the fans.

It was a fun day with family and friends.

Rolled Over

Today Sadie rolled all the way over for the first time.

I turned around and was surprised to see that she rolled onto her tummy.

She loves rolling over on her side and is getting fast at it. But, she never was able to get around her arm until today when she was playing on the floor.

She is already pulling her bows out of her hair and she is only 3 months old. But, it was fun to watch her attack her bow.

School Pictures

We finally got Blake's school pictures back. He took them at the beginning of the school year and they are just now receiving them. Anyways, Blake took a good picture so I am happy. He is in a staggered schedule class, which means the morning Kindergartens go to school for and couple of hours and then Blake's class comes. They are together for a couple of hours and then the morning class goes home. Then it is just Blake's afternoon class for the rest of the day. I love the way it is set up, especially because in Blake's afternoon class there are only eight kids. We got the better end of the deal. (All the bused kids have to go in the morning and everyone else goes in the afternoon).

Bathtime with Brothers

Blake and Logan love their little sister and are always helping us out.

One morning I came out of the shower to find Sadie undressed and diaper changed. Then they decided they wanted to give her a bath.

Sadie is such a good girl and let her brothers clean her without crying.
