*Halloween fun*



We have been looking forward to Halloween for at least a month. Once Cahlin's birthday was over he was on to the next event! He just had to be a transformer ... go figure! So, he's been sporting his costume for the last month, wearing it during the day even sleeping with it on for a couple of nights. We were pretty surprised that nothing was ripped or broken! Eyan was a kangaroo! I know I'm biased because I'm his mom... but isn't he stinkin cute or what?! I just love it! We'd put his costume on early too, because brother was and he'd run around chewing on his little baby that's in his pouch... we're gonna have to work on the whole being soft and no biting thing! ;)

We took the kids over to our ward trunk or treat and had a great time seeing everyones costumes! We shared a trunk with Brynlee, Ashley and Adam. Brynlee was a fiary. She is the cutest little thing ever! Her mom made her outfit! Cute or what!? Halloween was great and now Cahlin just can't wait for Christmas to show up!

Carving Masterpieces...

We had a great time carving our pumpkins this year! Kevin gets VERY into carving pumpkins and he does an awesome job! Grandma Giles was here to carve with us and we loved having her here to play and cut with us!

At first Cahlin was very scared of the guts inside the pumpkins. He didn't really want to help out he just wanted to take the knife to them. But Eyan got up on the counter and he just dug in. No fear! Then Cahlin decided it probably wasn't all that bad and his hand wasn't going to get bitten off. They had a good time pulling all the seeds out and making huge messes!

My mom and I did the Trick or Treat pumpkin. My mom didn't really want to participate at first but then she decided to join... she had a good time getting dirty too!! Kevin and Cahlin did the monster pumpkin. Cahlin really liked that one. Kevin also made a very special Jones pumpkin. He made up the design and everything! He also did a witch. We loved having our fun pumpkins out front!! It was a sad day when Kevin took them and smashed them in the dumpster... :) Happy late Halloween!

Cereal

,

Cahlin and Eyan's favorite breakfast is cereal. We wake up every morning and I take half an hour just to convince Cahlin to have something other than cereal. Cahlin has the art down pat. He doesn't make a mess at all... Eyan on the other hand needs a little bit of practice. Thank heavens for this awesome bib... it saves mom from having to clean up a HUGE mess every morning. Eyan thinks it's pretty great too, once the cereal is all gone from his bowl he just moves on to his bib! :)

Cahlin's Talent

Cahlin has been loving taking pictures lately. It's fun but kind of a pain, we will take our camera out for some event and the camera will be dead because Cahlin got a hold of it at some point during the week and ran the batteries out with his hour long photo shoots... we've actually been quiet impressed with his talent and vision.. :) here are some pics of his aspiring talent!! ;)
not my best angle... :)
What a perfect little sideways smile!!

Baptisms


In September we had the great priviledge of going to Whitney and Savanna's Baptisms! It was a wonderful day and the girls were so cute! The only picture that we got was this one and then my camera died. But we had a great time with all the family and friends that were there.

Kites




Kevin has been wanting a kite for such a long time. He was always super picky about what kind he got too. So, he finally got one this last September! We had a great time as a family going out and flying it in our awesome windy Idaho weather!
