Happy Halloween!

What a fun week full of lots of sugar!  This week we carved pumpkins, had a trunk-or-treat and carnival with our ward, a preschool parade and party, and of course trick-or-treating on Halloween night.  And obviously, my kids looked adorable in their costumes.

So excited to be part of her preschool parade.

I thought I was taking a picture of her and her buddy Micah, but apparently that Batman is not her friend.

Image
Have you ever seen something so cute???

These two were literally bouncing off the walls all day long in anticipation of trick-or-treating.

Growing Up

Jane has changed so much in her 5 short weeks of life.  She is much less fussy now and she actually sleeps great at night.  She has grown a lot and is starting to smile at us.  We love her so much!!

Jackson is starting to like Jane a lot more than he used to.  He doesn't tell me not to hold her anymore and he even asks if he can hold her sometimes.

Stringhams Visit

Paul, Kim and Sarah came to visit us in Spokane.  We had a great time, we love visitors!  We played and went out to eat a lot and Jack and I even got to go out on a date for my birthday.  They were able to be here for Hannah's primary program too, Hannah loved that and both kids loved seeing their aunt and grandparents.

We went back to Green Bluff to pick pumpkins.

While posing for this picture, Kim fell backwards!  Sorry Kim, but this picture is hilarious.

Trip to Utah

Jack had a week off two weeks after Jane was born.  We thought we'd just hang around Spokane since we had a new baby, but soon realized that we'd all go crazy if we were stuck in our apartment.  So one night we decided to hop in our car and drive to Utah.  It was kind of insane since we had three little kids (one being a newborn) crammed into the back of our car and it is an 11 hour drive.  We broke it up into two days and it really wasn't too bad.  We had a nice time seeing some family and mostly just relaxing.

The kids loved Mimi's bubble bath.
