Amazing display...

We went to the Mesa Temple lights/concert tonight and spent quite a while wandering around and listing to the beautiful music...I was shocked when we went to leave and Caden said "I don't want to go, I want to keep listening to the beautiful music!" I know, right? Totally shocking. (c:

No, we don't have a problem with violence in our family...

This is how Auntie Cherish likes to play with her niece and nephew....

Our sweet little girl...where does she learn this stuff?!?

Halloween Time!!!

I really wish we had been more creative for Halloween this year, but between school, work, kids, and well, life in general, I felt a little unmotivated! I mean, we didn't even take the kids real trick-or-treating (it was sunday and we figured they won't remember anyway, right?)...I know...we are busy scarring our kids for life. But they had a blast at the trunk or treat at church and Caden was busy telling us that "everyone thought I was AWESOME" because of his motocross costume and his 4 wheeler that he got to ride to the church. Skylar was less than impressed with her costume, she was telling Daddy "NO PRETTY!! NO PRETTY!!" when he tried to put it on because we told her it was a pretty costume and apparently she also wanted a motocross costume. *sigh* So much for my little princess, huh? (c:

My little monsters...




Our Halloween dinner this year didn't turn out near as cool as when Debbie (my MIL) does it, she always does something really cool and creative (and I love that she does it and I don't have to! Love ya Mom!)...but we tried to make it special because it was doubling as Skylar's birthday party. It was actually a lot of fun and the kids were going crazy on a sugar high by the end...a success, right? Right.

The "new" temple

Since the kids are used to the Albuquerque temple, we thought we would introduce them to the "new" temple in Mesa...turns out we aren't that creative for our FHE ideas...don't judge. (c:

Cousins...

This was forever ago that Kara, Garrick, and the girls visited us...but we had so much fun and the kiddos were so cute together, I just thought I would share...
