Ty Turns 3!!!

Ty had a wonderful birthday weekend. It started on Friday when we let him open all of the family gifts. He loved everything he got and a lot of it helped keep the boys and girls entertained at the party. Sat. we woke up and got ready for the party. Ty wanted a dump truck party so we had cones and caution tape up outside, a dump truck with cake in it, hard hats, tape the dirt to the truck and a bean bag game with a dump truck. Opening presents was a little chaotic, but Ty had a great time. We ended with a pinata outside and let the kids play on our bouncy, swingset and roller coaster. In all it was a wonderful party. On Sunday we let Ty choose where we would eat and he chose, "the McDonalds with the playground" He and Emma had a blast playing and then we all went home to nap. It was a great birthday weekend and I can't believe he's actually 3!!!

Thanksgiving with New Moon

Emma's (aka New Moon) class had an indian Thanksgiving and invited the parents up to see all of their indian outfits. The girls were all decked out with dresses, papooses for their babies (which they all made one). necklaces and headdresses. The boys had on their shirts, with a quiver full of bow and arrows and headdresses. They earned feathers over the week and whoever had the most on Fri. got to be chief. Emma was sick on Fri. so we don't know who the chief was. Mimi and Papa were in for Ty's party and got to experience the whole thing and Mimi even got to read to all of the indians!!

"My" Wedding

Emma and Ty had the fun opportunity of being in some friends wedding this past weekend. They both did a great job and Emma kept asking her friends if they were coming to "my" wedding. I think every wedding she's in she thinks she is the bride!!!

The Cutest Pet on Halloween

I couldn't leave this picture out. Our Jr High Minister and his wife have a beautiful dog named Bella. Tonight she was decked out in a snow white costume. We all thought she was precious and kids were lining up to see her.

Happy Halloween!!!

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful and fun Halloween. Emma and Ty were Dash and Violet from the Incredibles this year. We went Trick or Treating in our neighborhood first (that's why it's still light out) and then we headed up to our church for our first ever Fall Festival. The kids had a great time doing both and especially loved seeing their friends (as well as bouncing in bounce houses, playing games and getting candy). Emma is with 2 of her friends from school and Ty is with 2 of his buddies from church.

Pumpkin Carving

Ty decided to write on his pumpkin this year and Emma wanted to carve hers, so she drew on it and then I cut it out. And as you can see they are really into making silly pics

My painted face

Ok, my two comments on my last post talked about me not putting my own painted face on. I have to confess, it was just pride holding me back!, I didn't feel I looked my best and who wants their own pic on a blog when they feel like it doesn't look good. But, I swallowed my pride and decided to put the pic Emma took of me with my painted face and Ty. Hope you enjoy!! The kids did a great job, Ty drew a ball (circle) and Emma a beautiful BIG Butterfly, but you can't see much from the picture.
