October, 2009

October was a VERY crazy month for our little family, and was very eventful. Whitney got VERY sick, while the rest of us were sick also, but nothing like Whitney. I had test after test trying to keep me and Baby Brother healthy, and many other little things here and there, we got extremely behind on our updates. So this will be a REALLY long post about the fun things that happened in between. We are starting at the end of the month, and go backwards, hope you can keep up!

Halloween!

This year the girls were so excited, Whitney was orphan Annie, and Audrey was sleeping beauty. Grandma Lorie made their costumes (along with all their girl cousins costumes, thank you Mawna!), which turned out wonderfully, they really couldn't have gotten any better.

All the Girl Cousins and there great costumes!

When Whitney got her hair cut this summer, Aunt Andrea said she should be "Annie" for Halloween, Whitney's response was, "Who is Annie?" She had never even heard of her. So a few weeks later I bought the movie, and Whitney fell in love. She has watched it multiple times, and told Grandma Lorie she needed a Annie costume. She even had Sandy the dog that went everywhere with her. So, so cute!

At our yearly ward carnival this year, Whitney decided she was too old to hang out with Dad, Mom and Little sis, and took off with her friends. It made me sad that she is growing up so fast, and also that I didn't get any pictures of her there, but I did get plenty of Audrey, she kept us very entertained!

Audrey showing her Halloween spirit! Isn't she so cute?

This year we changed things up a bit, and PAINTED our pumpkins instead of carving them, and the girls enjoyed every second of it. They already decided that's what were doing next year too. They painted two faces on each pumpkin, and were very good and turning them often when they were on display on the front porch. They turned out very cute, I thought. The half nudity was a must with the paint, it got EVERYWHERE!

A couple of pictures of the girls enjoying their horse, I think they are adorable.

As you can see in the above pictures, Audrey got a hair cut. She has been begging me to cut her hair since Whitney cut hers, and I finally gave in. But I think it is so stinking cute, I should have done it a long time ago. Although it did cut off ALL that was left of her curls. She just has a few waves now. But it fits her personality to the tee, and she is so, so cute. Audrey loves it too!

Adam and I were able to go on a Field trip with Audrey's Kindergarten class this month, to HeeHaw Farms in Pleasant Grove. I took Adam along, because I'm a little slow these days, and wasn't felling great. It made Audrey's day having him there, not to mention my day, he was able to keep up with the little girls in our group a lot better than I could. What a great day!

Decorating sugar cookies, a big mess, but a lot of fun!

The first of this year, Adam took up a new hobby, Bee Keeping. He got two hives, and tended to them all summer, and the first of October, he got to harvest all his honey. I wondered all summer if he knew what he was doing, and he proved to me he did. He got SO much honey, the picture below is only about a 1/4 of what he got. And it tastes Delicious. Way to go Adam! The girls absolutely loved helping him harvest it, and loves eating it even more!
