HALLOWEEN!!!

Here are our various Halloween pics. Hailey had a Halloween party at her pre-school. The kids were sooo cute and her teacher did such a great job with the kids. They put on a little performance for us, which, since I am the most awesome Mom ever, I completely messed up the recording process, so I will have to see if I can get a copy from the other parents who were able to work their own camera equipment correctly! The kids got to trick or treat a couple of the neighbors and there were treats and games for them. Hailey requested fingers and toes for her addition to the snack table, which being the most awesome Mom EVER, I made, but I let the ball drop on the whole picture taking part of it, so you don't get to see my handiwork! Oh well, at least I did get pictures of her! The one of Scott and I was taken for a party we went to. Apparently I am a very happy prisoner. I think they got a couple more pictures of us, so I may add more when/if we get copies. Lindsey wore her frog costume to a few houses before she started to strip a little at a time. First the hood came off, then the arms came out a few doors later, and finally she couldn't take it any longer and went as plain old Lindsey for the rest of the evening. The picture on the hay ride is from our ward party. It was a lot of fun. Too bad that was the only picture I took there! Leave it to me to be thorough!

Pumpkin Patch

Stephanie and I took our kids to a pumkin patch/farm for a little fall fun. Tehre was a lot of fun things for them to do. I forgot to take any pictures of us in the corn maze...maybe next year! It was a lot of fun, but quite warm. You know it is too hot when even I wish it would cool down a bit!

Hailey's Performance

The Best Babysitter EVER!!!

Kaylin got a hair streaker kit for her birthday and these are the results when she finally got to use it. I helped with her and Hailey's hair, but the next night we had Tali babysit...she is the best by the way....and Lindsey's beautiful colors are the result of her direct and constant supervision throughout the evening. haha! The funny part is that the color wouldn't completely wash out of their hair for almost a week!

Here is cute littel Hailey with her streaked hair and oh so important soda!

Last but not least, here is Kaylin with the ever so lovely Tali, to whom we owe so m uch to for her sweet babysitting skills! We will never get a different babysitter EVER!!!!! (I hope you read this Tali!)

Lindsey and her "horse"

So, our poor little dog is very well loved by our kids. Lindsey is especially enamored by her these days and drags her around by her collar or her leash. This day apparantly Lindsey decidded Muffin would make a good horse. Luckily Lindsey is just tall enough that she can walk around like that with Muffin without actually sitting on her! No wonder Muffin hides from her under my bed!!!

11th Anniversary

This is Scott and I on our 11th Anniversary. Aren't we just adorable? We actually went on a date that night and decided we should do that more often. I know, you'd think that after this long we would have figured that out long ago. I guess the secret is out now...we aren't as smart as we look! (And that is a very sad statement!!!)

Mexico Trip

This is from our last trip to Mexico...a month ago...better late than never!!! We had a great time, although Scott was kept pretty busy replacing the tires on our trailer. There seems to be a few more pictures of Hailey and Lindsey, but it iis only because they hung out with me the most, and Hailey LOVES posing for pictures (sometimes!). Kaylin spent A LOT of time hanging out with the grown ups since there are no kids in the Cook family anywhere remotely close to her age. She adjusts herself pretty well to who ever she has the pleasure of being with though, so she had a great time! So, thanks to all of the aunts, uncles, great aunts and great uncles, and friends that took the time to make sure she had a great time at the beach!
