Our Halloween Costumes 2010

I'm so glad you posted pics of your fun family Britt! I really want to see pics of your little cuties too Shan, and did they wear the stuff you made for the "Witches Day" for Halloween or different costumes? I'm pretty sure I already told you what we were doing this year but if not the picture should give it away. I posted on my blog all about it. Check it out...(click the pic)

Let's see your costumes!

Hi girls! Let's see your costumes from Halloween. Les, I know your family always has a cute theme!!

Josh and I were "Mouseketeers".



And since that's not very exciting, I'll show you what my family dressed up as. As usual, everyone's costumes were SO GREAT!

Cameron and his date dressed up as Ken & Barbie from Toy Story 3!



They won for "funnest costumes". In case you can't exactly remember what Ken looked like in Toy Story 3, check it out. Cameron was SPOT ON!! HAHAH



Marci was Wheezy, Eden was Jessie, Ella was Rex, and Christian was Andy and they were all his toys.



Mom & Dad were Wayne & Garth. HAHAHA!!



Chad dressed up as Christian. He went "into character" and texted and messed around on his phone and ignored you. If you know Christian, you knew exactly who he was supposed to be!!



And the winners for "funniest" costumes were Scotty & Audra. Can you tell who they are supposed to be??



They are my mom & dad!!!!!! HA! We all died laughing when they walked in and we realized who they were. Notice how Audra has on two pair of reading glasses. That's so my mom!! HAHA

So - those were our Halloween costumes. Let's see yours!!!

Sad News :(

So my little brother came home from him mission yesterday :(  It's kind of a combination of things, being homesick, the mission was getting hard and the biggest reason was that he didn't take care of things before he left. No one knows why or what his issues are (which is ok. That's between him and the lord) but it totally sucks! My mom is so upset with him right now and I'm just worried sick about him. If he can get things straightened out in 6 months then he can go right back to his mission. If it takes him a year then he'll have to go back to the MTC. He is not in a good place right now. He is very confused and as my mom says "wishy-washy." So any thoughts and prayers would greatly be appreciated. I know that Jamason could really use them. I'm sure that the next 6 months are going to be really hard and even harder when and if he chooses to go back out (which I'm hoping and praying that he does). I know it will be hard for him to say good-bye to everyone again. But I'm worried that if he doesn't go back out then he could easily fall away from the church. LOTS of people will ask him why he's home and why he didn't go back. I'm afraid he'll get offended and just stop going to church. I'm sort of at a loss and not sure what to do or how to help him. I know that I need to love him and support him but is there anything else?

Our busy weekend

So last weekend we went to Gardner Village with Jared's family and then blessed Madelyn on Sunday. I made Ethan's cape & Madelyn's skirt for our fun dress up party. Gardner Village was SUPER crowded and ended up not being very fun. Jared's family just went through everything so fast that we didn't even get to enjoy any of it. Next year I'll make sure that we do not go on a weekend.

I bought Madelyn's dress and booties at Little Things Mean A-lot and I made her flower and head band. She was wearing a pretty white bracelet that my neighbor made for her but it was too big and kept falling off. But I think she looks beautiful and I was very happy that I bought her her own dress. It's so pretty that I'm tempted to have her wear it again LOL!



 




I'll be posting lots more pictures on my blog...hopefully this weekend. Les when are you blessing Pasynne?

Boy or Girl

Hey Britt,
When do you find out what you're having? I'm gonna mark my calender for your super exciting day!!!

THANK YOU Britt!!

Yes Britt, your fun-filled package DID come & I love love loved it! You are always so great to remember birthdays & especially to go the extra mile by sending a gift! Pasynne looks absolutely adorable in her new bows and dress/jumper. I can't believe she will already be 6 weeks old tomorrow, but she does look so "grown up" in her new digs ;)This is the actual outfit that she was sporting on Sunday & we got countless "oooh's and "aawe's"






And last, but definitely NOT least...my super cute Monster Candle. The kids cannot seem to leave him alone for two seconds & I know he will be a favorite decoration in our Halloween collection.

old or new?

So we are blessing Madelyn in a few weeks and I'm trying to decide what to do about her blessing dress. I had the idea to bless her in the dress that I was blessed in. But now I'm not sure if I want to do that. I'm wondering if I should get her own dress, one that only she was blessed in and one that she will have for a keepsake. OR would it be just as good or more meaningful to have her blessed in my dress? Jared doesn't really care or have an opinion either way other then it would save us some money to bless her in my dress. And if I bless her in my dress then what do I when and if I have more girls? So what do you ladies think?
