Tulita Western Night

 Dad made it home in time for Western night!  Yeehaw!

 Leggings again!?!  Are you seeing a theme?

 All you need is a truck Babe! :)

Loving on his girl!

Halloween 2012 The Gardeners

 Nana and Uncle Kyle came for Halloween!!!!  Okay, it might have been to help us move (Nov. 1) but we sure enjoyed having them for the festivities- oh and the move!!!! We could NOT have done it without them- seriously they were invaluable.
 Nana brought a bunch of hats for the girls, Mayan insisted on wearing them all- taking them off- making someone put them all on again- and on and on and on- it was stinkin cute!  Girl loves hats and shoes - two things I also loved as a kid.

 Rio's preschool had a Halloween Party- he was so excited to bring Nana and Kyle.  I asked him to do a scared face in the haunted house- pretty good little actor if I must say!

 We officially packed our plates and had to eat out in the evenings.  I think Kyle had just run the kids at the park- Belize practically fell asleep at dinner.

 Tulita Elementary's annual Parade- it was freezing (meaning it was only cold for those who live in Cali).

 Because my fam was here, I got to stay and help with Belize's class party.

 Mayan opted out of Trick-or-treating by way of bedtime.  But that didn't stop her from finding a before-bedtime snack.  I should have taken a picture of the box wall in the living room- darn!

 This blur was the kids SPRINTING from house to house- Kyle and I took bets on who would biff it first- it was Rio.

 He decided to be a dragon for treating- I'm pretty sure that both the kids wore the same costumes last year.

 Belize was mad- yet again- because I insisted on leggings- hence the mad face.

 Kind of a subtle theme this year: Garden party- Bee, Garden gnome, Lady bug, and two gardeners w/ green thumbs.

 (Someone just handed me this nerf gun!  I might be peeing my pants right now I'm so excited!)

 Bishop Cottle was the MC for the Redondo 1st Ward party.

 Zara came too!  So fun!  Don't you love her snake costume- her grandma made it by special request!!

 Mayan got the gist of Halloween!

 I just want to kiss that little face every time I see it do something like that!

 Me (Thinking I'm so cool cause I got Instagram now)

 Mayan (thinking she's so cool cause she's nakie (but seriously that is pretty cool that she can get away with running around the house naked, don't you think?))

 This zooble (found in Mayan's diaper after half the day- not cool.  Plus it reeked so I chucked it).

 Life IS a picnic!

 This is Mayan's happy place- Petsmart puppy daycare.

 Mayan ripped her toenail off- ouch!

 Sisterly love

 The kids love Sister (Chari) Myers!  She brought over some food when I was sick and also happened to bring Madagascar3.  She really is an angel!

 Mayan throwing an unusual fit- it was so cute that I just had to laugh.

 Caught them book sharing at preschool.

Brighton showed up in the morning for school walkpool wearing the SAME outfit in different colors.  Belize was so happy, prior to that she'd been throwing a fit because I was insisting she wear a sweater.

Flu Shots!

Me- right before taking my 3 children to have their vaccines.

Belize in the doctor's office, seconds before I told her she was getting a shot (note how I stuck a sucker in her hand preemptively).

 Belize right after I told her.

 Rio- right before they took his shot.


 Belize and Mayan waiting for theirs.

 Belize before I had to sit with her on the exam table, her facing me on my lap so I could hold her down.

 Mayan and Rio loving on eachother at Costo 30 minutes later- Belize huddled in the fetal position on the back of the cart.

October randoms

We ARE MOVING!!!!!  Our children have never lived in a house before and after 6 years, they will finally get a BACKYARD!  We are stoked!

 Love those TIGHTS!!!

 Belize ACTUALLY let me do her hair- hooray!  I'll take anything I can get!

Mayan loves to make a good mess!
