Ryann's Baptism

I can't believe that my little Ryann is old enough to get baptized already! She is the sweetest, most precious little spirit. I am so thankful to be her mother, and am very proud of her for making this big decision in her life. She is such a wonderful and talented girl, and I can't wait to see all that she becomes in the future. I love you Ryann and am so excited for you on this big day!

This is a day that Ryann will never forget, not only because she is getting baptized but it is also HALLOWEEN!

Dad and Ryann right before the program started.

Ryann was excited, because her Grandma Jody got to speak at her baptism. I asked Ryann what was her favorite part of the program, and she said it was her Grandma getting to talk!

Most of the gang after the baptism! Now off to celebrate and trick or treat!

My wonderfully talented friend Nikki took some pictures of Ryann and her cousin Lexy in their Baptism dresses. I posted a bunch of my favorites! I love these pictures and am so glad to have them to remember this special time in Ryann's life!!!

Pumpkins and Halloween

We decided to PAINT our pumpkins this year instead of carving them. The kids had a great time being creative. We had our family night and then carved our pumpkins. It was a fun night.



Let the painting begin!

Cooper was concentrating very hard. He wanted to paint a green and brown pumpkin.

Of course Tren painted a BRONCO pumpkin!

Bailey's had to be pink! She wanted to do a "scary face" so we went with a VAMPIRE!

Ryann's is just plain CREATIVE! I'm not sure what it is...but it's pretty CUTE!

Mine is a SCARED pumpkin!

Here are all our creations out in front of the house! We had a fun time!

HALLOWEEN

Ryann was baptized today! (Pictures to come) After her baptism we went home and got in our costumes and headed for the church. We had a big dinner with friends and family, and then the kids went Trunk-or-treating. Cooper and Bailey went as a cowboy...I mean "Outlaw" and Cowgirl. Cooper wanted to be a "mean" cowboy...should I be concerned?

The three cow-people!

It's pretty scary, but Tren does the NERD thing a little too well! He was so cute!

NERDY!

Ryann and Lexy wanted to be a two-headed girl! They call themselves "Twisted Sisters" They were so stinkin cute!

Mark made homemade root beer with dry ice! This is my Uncle Ben's recipe and it turned out DELICIOUS! We made root beer floats for dessert. What fun!

For dinner we had several kinds of chili ,cornbread, and salads! All our friends and family made this Halloween/baptism celebration GREAT!

One last outing....

Our good friends the Pugmire's are moving to Idaho Falls this weekend. Marisa got free family passes to the Discovery Center and invited us to go. I have two very sad children, who are going to miss their friends dearly!!! ...and one very sad ME who is going to miss Marisa and the whole family......Anyway, we went on one last outing before they move. We started off at McDonald's and then went and played at the D.C. It was a FUN day and it made me appreciate good friends and special people in our lives! We will miss you Pugmire's!!!!!
