Halloween

Preparing for the sugar intake by making chocolate Halloween creatures.

Our family at the ward Halloween party. We did the "Wizard of Oz" theme this year. Jake was the witch, I was the lolliop guild (the best part of my costume was my tights and shoes which you can't see) Raegan was Dorothy, Logan the scarecrow and Brielle was the infamous yellow brick road since we follow her anyways she might as well fit the part.

Getting ready for next year.....

Lots of pictures

Raegan had red ribbon week and so everyday was dress differently. This is her "wacky dress day".

They had a costume parade and had to dress as a character out of a book. Luckily her halloween costume was a character out of the "Wizard of Oz". Thanks Great-Grandma Aplanalp for making me a great Dorothy dress!

Day at Sea World

Raegan and I braved the 3rd row at Shamu. We were soaked. Logan and Dad chickened out and sat at the top. Nothing like the taste of cold salt water!

Posing in front of the halloween decorations.

Brielle and Logan found the "Incredibles" masks from last year.....these kids are so dang cute!

A few more pictures

At least she ate it without crying....see previous post.

Not something you see too often at the table, a smiling Logan.

Brielle has a new favorite accessory lately. She love to wear these sunglasses everywhere....the gym, the pool, the dinner table, the car, wherever. It is very cute.

Temple trip

Yesterday the kids had a primary (the kids group at our church) trip to the temple. We decided to go as a family. It was nice and chilly so it made for a great trip. Someone from the temple talked to the kids about the temple and they sang songs. Nice day overall.Part of the program was to touch the temple and make a promise to do something good. Raegan promised to get married in the temple and Logan said "Um, let me think.....Ants bite me". He didn't quite get the gist of it.
Singing at the temple

Another dinner meltdown

I guess we are mean parents making them eat what they are given.....oh the joy, the bliss of parenting!

Picture time

Some new pictures the kids had taken.

Universal

The pirate show at Universal...lots of skeletons that Logan loved.

The 'stunt men'--Jake just wanted to stand next to the hot girl.

Lucille Ball, my mom's hero and Marilyn Monroe.

Raegan's cheerleading

Raegan has started cheerleading for the Y soccer players. It is very cute to watch them. Hopefully it will cool off so they don't sweat to death out there....Brielle had also had it that day. It was hot and all she wanted was to play with the camera. She doesn't take no for an answer, the little stinker!

Cruising to Cozumel

We took a cruise with some friends to cozumel last weekend. It was great! Very relaxing! I could get used to being waited on and being lazy!










I loved this little dog.





Mayan Ruins and the gorgeous beach
