random halloween/birthday stuff






Tyler's b day is a few days before halloween, he was excited to turn 8...unfortunately, he turned 7. :) He's excited to get baptized....
Anyways, to know me is to know how much I love Halloween. (not much) However, I did spring for new costumes this year because nothing fit the kids in the costume box. Brent and the kids carved the pumpkins, and luckily Brent remembered to snap a few pics before we left for trick or treating. We did have fun walking around with the boys, they get so excited! At the scary houses Jason would say, "let's not go there, that house is creeping me out." So we skipped the freaky ones. Katelyn had her last year of Trick or treating, she decided a few hours before it was time to go that she wanted to do it, so she used a poodle skirt from an activity days thing a from few years ago, and went as a fifties gal.
I have always had D track so we miss the Halloween parade every year. I do, however, love Christmas so I will be getting excited for that soon I bet. :)

girls pref




Jared had a plate of brownies delivered to our door one day and inside were letters that spelled the name of the girl who was asking him to girls pref. After an hour of digging and guessing and hoping he didn't eat a letter he figured out who asked him. It was our neighbor Cassidy. They are good friends and girls pref was on her 16th birthday. They ended up going with a group of 16 kids. It sounds like they had a blast! Jared was impressed with their creative ways to have fun without spending a lot of money. I think if Jared were a rich man he would date every day.
I am thankful for the good group of friends that he has to hang out with. So far 2 of the 3 girls he's been out with are in our ward (my sunday school class) so it's nice to see him having fun and dating with idea of not getting serious with anyone yet. (Yes, I know that could all go out the window one day when some little hottie steals him away...but for now, I am glad he is making good dating choices)
