Halloween 2013

Had so much fun dressing the kids up this year. Chase wanted to be something scary so here is...

the Grim Reaper. 


Amelie wanted to be pretty for the ward trunk-or-treat and scary for Halloween night so we had...

Glinda the Good Witch
And a wicked witch 



Sawyer couldn't make up his mind. He wanted to be lots of things so we narrowed it down to something scary like Chase and a pirate like dad. So here is our...

Captain Hook by Day

And Vampire by night

Miss Solei-lei found this blonde wig at Walmart and cried when the mean store employee took it off her head and put it back. So of course I had to buy it for her and come up with a costume. Introducing...

Miss Marilyn Monroe (complete with personality)




I wasn't sure if she would take to the Marilyn idea or insist on being a princess, but as soon as I finished her dress and let her try it on she was hooked and in love with it. Phew! She went around telling EVERYONE who she was "I'm Marelyn Monrose". It was hilarious and incredibly cute. 

We spent Halloween day at Nestle's Halloween Party and the kids had a blast!  Stories with princesses, pony rides, face painting (that's where the girls cool makeup came from), a petting zoo, ice cream, bounce house, candy...a kids heaven.

Still trying
Shining the tortoise
And I almost forgot...Rick had a pretty cool costume too! (These are some of his coworkers)

At night we went trick or treating with friends around our neighborhood and scared people in our spook alley. 
Sawyer wanted his pumpkin to eat Soleil's pumpkin. She wasn't too happy about that. Every time she saw it she would start crying for someone to get it out. I had to distract her (not an easy task)

And this scary guy sat on the bench and creeped people out. 


All in all it was a fun and extremely exhausting Halloween!

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
