Watch Out For That . . . WALL!!


Tara and I decided that tonight would be a GREAT night to take our kids out to the movies to watch Madagascar. We have these cards that we can get into movies that are two weeks old for only $5 each so we thought we could get them some treats while we were there. When Aiden and I went out in the middle of the movie to get a soda, it was kind of dark, and Aiden was excited to get a drink, so he began running down the ramp out of the theatre. Well before I could say anything I heard a THUMP . . . and saw him lying flat on his back. Apparently, he thought that there was some sort of door at the bottom of the ramp and continued to run (full speed mind you) into the wall. After I new he was okay I started laughing hysterically and we proceeded to go and get a soda. I am sure that I looked pretty bad laughing while my Aiden was crying, oh well. He ended up being fine and showed Tara after the movie what happened. She laughed until she had tears in her eyes. All in all it was a good night.

Holy Batman and Batgirl!

Halloween week was crazy fun. It started off with a special Halloween story time at the library. The kids loved going to the library as batman and batgirl. They also loved seeing their friends!


Unfortunately batgirl would not wear her mask. I guess she wasn't worried about her secret identity!

On Halloween was our ward party and trick or treating. This year Aiden was really excited to be able to go door to door. He was one of the leaders of the pack. For some reason he really wanted to go to the scary houses, but always freaked out after he got the candy! Hunter bear just loved it all. I was so grateful for warm weather this year and good friends!

Half of Nico the jedi, Christian the jedi, Jackson as Bumblebee the transformer, and half of Batman


Lexie the leopard


Batman


The whole gang- all as noted before plus Hunter James as Buzz, Chloe as Ariel, Clair as Briar Rose and Hunter bear as Batgirl


The trick or treat rush!

PS- If you have any cute pics of Bear email them to me. She wouldn't stand still for me!
