Carving Pumpkins!

This was Courtney's first year to do Jack-O-Lanterns. She loved playing with the tools and the pumpkin, but refused to touch the insides. She calls them Ucky Pumpkin Guts = )

The one on the right is mine. My first EVER that didn't consist of 3 triangles and a lopsided mouth, so I'm pretty pleased with myself! Jeremy is a bit more artistic. His is on the left. Obviously.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!

Melina's Halloween Party

My sister Melina throws the BEST parties! She put together a halloween party for all the little cousins to come and play. Her house was SO SpOoKy that it seriously scared a few of them. Okay, maybe just mine. It was lots of fun, the food was great, and it was so cute to see all the little kids in their halloween costumes.

the BEST decorations were downstairs, the spook alley going down the stairs, and a whole photography halloween set up to do pictures of the kids. Yes my camera died, and yes Courtney screamed and cried and didn't take even a halfway decent picture! maybe next year.

Thanks Melina for the party and to everyone who brought yummy food!

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

I made Jeremy this cake, then Dawn came over and helped decorate it. Isn't it AWESOME?!

If you look close, you can see the green guy is stabbing the pink guy in RIGHT in the EYE! i guess that's what he gets for being a pink army guy. Kinda asking for it, if you ask me.

CHARGE!!

"oh no, the battle field's on fire...we're all gonna melt!!"

Courtney helping Daddy blow out his candles.

Courtney was a good 'present getter' for daddy. She handed him all his presents.

I told Courtney to pick something out for Daddy that he would like for his birthday. This is what he got.

Playing in the balloons ; )

A happy mommy, a happy daddy, and an unhappy courtney. can you tell it's bedtime?

Happy Birthday Jeremy, we love you!

Happy Birthday Courtney!!

Yesterday was my birthday! I was so excited to come downstairs and see all my presents!

Getting my Birthday Huggles

Grandma Hansen gave me the best rocking chair, just my size! I love to rock my new puppy "Blackey" in it.

Here's Blackey. I adopted her at Hobby Town and got a birth certificate and everything! Then I got to pick out a pretty dress for her.

Brigham and Jazzy gave me this DoodleBops microphone. I smacked mommy in the head with it and she now has a swollen cut eyelid. She looked very sad, so I said, "oooh... I sorry Mommy.... Mommy, I lub you...."

Jake gave me this beautiful crown and earrings, Daddy helped me put them on.

I'm such a pretty princess *wink*! I wore these all day ; )

Mommy and Daddy got me a cradle to rock my baby in. I love to sing, "Rock a bye baby, in the tree tops, when the wind blows, baby fall down" to her as I rock her.

Here are my presents! I'm not looking at the camera, but it was this picture, or one with my finger up my nose ; )

I love my aqua doodle pad! It makes pretty pictures!

Here's my birthday cake mommy made me! I helped put the whoppers in, and I put the candles in all by myself! Thank you Everyone for my presents and celebrating my birthday with me!
