Trunk or Treat - Part 2

We went to our ward's Trunk or Treat last Wednesday. There was a pretty good turn out considering the small ward that we have. Kaiya had fun going from car to car with her friend Faith. Ella just enjoyed the candy wrappers.

Casey's Blessing

Last Sunday we went to my parents house for Casey's blessing. He looked so adorable in his white little suit. My dad gave a beautiful blessing and it was a nice intimate setting.

Trunk or Treat - part 1

Last night we went to my parents ward for their Trunk or Treat festivities. Nate and Amy looked fabulous. Nate dressed up like a Pirate and Amy was Elizabeth Swan from the Pirates of the Caribbean. They did a wonderful job decorating their trunk and the kids loved it! They are so creative and cute.

They had a plank for the kids to walk...

Our ward has a Trunk or Treat this next Wednesday. FUN

We need the biggest pumpkin!

Yesterday turned out to be a nice sunny day so we decided it would be a perfect day to make the muddy trek to the pumpkin patch. Galade and her boys went with us. Cirdan walked us out to a far patch where the "untouched" pumpkins were. Took a while but we finally found the perfect pumpkins.

For the record...I am NOT cleaning out that big pumpkin. :)

I didnt realize that that gross pumpkin was right there! ha ha

When we were all done we HAD to get a $2.50 corn on the cob and a bag of $5.00 kettle corn. Delish!

Go Hawks

My cousin Lisa and her husband has season tickets to the Seahawks games. Last weekend Mark (her husband) went hunting which means we got the chance to go to a game! They have awesome tickets and we sat 5 rows up from the field. Everything was so close! They ended up losing but we had still had a blast!

My baby is crawling!

Ella has been getting up on her knees for a while.


Then she moves back and forth, drops to her belly and scoots around the floor.

Last night Cirdan put her down and she started crawling! I was so shocked! Even though I knew this day would come sooner rather than later I am still sad to see her grow up so fast. Not to mention the fact that she is into EVERYTHING. I walked out of the room for no more than a minute today and when I got back she was already across the room, had gotten into the candy basket (which has a lid) and was holding onto a big gummy candy turtle! My eyes have to be on her every second. Time to baby proof the house! I guess what they say is true - if your 1st is an angel the next will be wild!!

Another new cousin!

Kaiya and Ella have a new cousin!

Galade had a baby boy on Sept 22nd. They now live VERY close to us so we have been able to see the little guy a few times. He is adorable!

Family weekend!

Cirdan's parents came over to Seattle this past weekend to meet Galade's (Cirdan's sister) new little baby boy. They got here on Saturday morning and we all ate breakfast (for lunch). They make the BEST stuffed french toast. We then we hung out and visited for a few hours. The men went off to the Priesthood meeting and the women went out and did what they do best...SHOP.








Kaiya and the boys had fun finding a slug family. Ick.









Sunday morning we woke up, visited for a while and then they got on the road to make their long drive home.







We all love having Richard and Sue visit and can't wait to see them again in a few weeks!!

Puyallup Fair - a couple weeks ago :)

We wanted to go to the fair but with our busy schedule the only day we could go happened to be the day it rained. We got there right as it opened, got a perfect parking spot and stayed about 4 hours.

We started with the animals...

cows

Sheep

More cows

As soon as we left I realized we didnt see the pigs! BUMMER.

The food is always yummy.

Cirdan and Kaiya had fun playing games...

This is Cirdan's favorite game. We usually have to stand here for at least an hour so he can win enough little stuffed animals to trade in for a jumbo. He wins almost every time!

On the way out we HAD to stop by and get some good fresh ice cream...even if it was cold and rainy outside.
