Weekend festivities

The royal princess celebrated her birthday all weekend. Saturday waking up to her siblings (plus our third daughter Hallee G.) singing to her in her crib, to getting a new baby from our sweet neighbors the Martineaus. Sunday's celebration with the Goates included pizza and cupcakes. Brinklee and Hannanh just happened to have matching outfits on! Monday we finished the weekend hoopla with her birthday party. She invited some of her closest friends-Holly, Travis, LoLo, Hannah, and Gracie. Her favorite gift of all was her new stroller for her babies. She packs that thing full of treasures and if anyone gets anywhere close to it-she'll let you know, its, " My strauler!"

T-W-O

I wish I could freeze her. She is SO much fun. Our lives have been even brighter the past 2 years with this little one around. She has the biggest vocabulary and is quite the parrot, repeating anything the kids ask her to say. She is a CRACK up. Making us laugh every single day. Easton asked her this morning who her boyfriend was and she said, " I donna know?! A Travy?!" (next door neighbor). She is such a people person. In the shopping cart she just waves and says Hi to everyone. She loves nursery and play groups. She loves to be on the go like her momma. When we pull into our neigborhood she says, "A no go home. A go tat way!" Target is her favorite store! Oh she is yummy. She still gets mauled all day with hugs and kisses from everyone.

Halloween

Here's a run down of "The night"-

*Annual neighbor dinner in the circle. The kids enjoyed mac n' cheese/chicken nuggets and the adults chili
*CRAZInesS-sword fights, candy, EXCitmenT!, you name it.. the kids were all on a major SugaR HigH!
*Cannon decided to change clothes-he no longer wanted to be in his costume. Little stink-but with a little daddy magic he was back in costume in no time
*I felt like dirt with a kidney infection/stones but put on my best smile for Halloween!
*Walked a few streets with friends to get MORE candy
*Brinklee and LoLo got the royal treatment-wagon ride right up to each house. Oh, they were in heaven!
*By the end Brinklee wanted to walk and go to each house " By Mysef"! Miss Independence
*Our candy bowl that we left out for trick-or-treaters was stolen-dang teenagers
*Easton's costume in case you are wondering is Percy Jackson. He is obessed with greek mythology and Gods and that fun 3rd grade stuff. He picked out the exact shoes, jeans, hair dye,hair brushed over a certain way, etc. so he could look just like Percy! Him and his best friend Mason planned it all out-twinners. Those two are serious soulmates.Anyways........

HAPPY HALLOWEEN-till next year

Trunk or Treat

Maycee-the cowgirl, Cannon-a storm trooper and Miss Minnie Mouse Brinklee










Love Halloween but GLAD its over and done with. Our ward had a Trunk or Treat on Saturaday. The YM/YW had booths that the kids could go to-Cannon sported a black bat on his cheek from the face painters and Maycee and her friends loved the Haunted House! The kids of course scored on candy and had fun eating it till their tummies hurt! We missed Easton-he went with his buddy to an ASU football game. A true sign he's growing up-football over candy?!! He got plenty of it Sunday night
