MY 3 Frogs!! (OK - OUR 3 Frogs)

Anyone who knows me and my love of frogs, knew that I couldn't pass up this costume. And of course all my children have to wear it!

Our 1st frog - Halloween of 2004 Our 2nd Frog - Halloween of 2006.
Our 3rd frog - Halloween 2008.
Will there be anymore frogs.......?
This is not an announcement of any kind, I just like to scare Barry every once in awhile!

I'm sure you are wondering.....

You're wondering - who fixed your computer right??!! It was ME! I am a genius - let's just leave it at that!

More pictures.......
My matchy girls. I don't know why but I don't have many matchy matchy dresses. But these were just too cute to pass up. Aren't they cute?! And getting so big. It appears Madelyn has a little boyfriend in nursery class.....hmmmm. The nursery leader told me they always have to sit by eachother and they play together all the time. I told the leader that she had to keep an eye on them for me. She laughed and said - you thought you had a couple more years before you had to worry didn't you?!
My BFF got to come visit!! Aren't I lucky?! I am not sure how much of a vacation it was for her - left her 2 kids at home to come visit my 3! But I loved it. It was so nice to have someone to talk about everything with - being a mom, the struggles, the joys, recipes, our husbands, our callings, etc etc. THANKS for coming Steph and thanks for sending her Steve!!

Here are some pictures!!

Here is UNCLE GREEEEE! Isn't he cute and such a good uncle!!

The annual carving o' the pumpkins. The kids and I got all the guts out earlier in the day and dad and the kids did the faces when he got home from work. Barry was having LOTS of fun!!!


You've got to have the front step picture with the pumpkins!! They were so excited! Somedays I wish I was still excited over the little things - no wonder the scriptures tell us to be like a little child.

On our way to the community party! We couldn't walk fast enough to keep up with you two!

Halloween

I know, I know - it is almost Thanksgiving - where are the Halloween pictures. Well, just keep asking yourself that. I am finally ready to post them and we are having a little computer trauma. Like sledgehammer kind of trauma. I think I will have to call one of my geeks, I mean brothers to find out what is wrong. Just picture in your mind as you read and as soon as I figure out what is wrong, I will post the pictures to go along with these posts.

Halloween - We had a great night. Our community had a little party and then the ward did Trunk-or-treat. Jacob did NOT want to go. He said Trunk-or-treat was no fun, but we lured him there and he loved it!!!! He said that was his favorite part of the night.



We had ourselves a very handsome builder, not Bob and not Manny - just a builder. A beautiful princess - need we say more and an adorable frog. Fun was had by all.



Barry decided that for next years trunk-or-treat he is going to take the motorcycle and pass out the candy from his saddlebags. I think we will be the most favorite 'trunk'.
