Halloween pics 2009











Kaden decided that he was far too old to dress up for Halloween so we really didn't see him too much that day. However, Karson had some friends come over to borrow costumes and we put some stuff together. Karson decided to go as a fortune teller at the school parade but then changed her mind that evening and went with a sort of prom queen zombie type thing. Khale was a pink poodle for one party and then on Halloween night we went with a Pooh costume because it was warm and comfortable. SO, we went out Trick-or-Treating. Khale did not want to give up and come home so we were out for quite a while. She kept asking if we could go to "just one more house to get treats." Kyle drove by us in the car so we could cover more territory. When we got home, Khale dumped all of her candy out and started counting it. Too bad Kaden was too old. He missed a good time.
He did join us to carve pumpkins. Khale decided to go with the Mr. Potato Head type of decorating (which was just fine with us). We still made her help with her brother and sister's pumpkins so we could see what she thought of the gooey insides.

Inside the Bellagio? I think this was in the Bellagio? Although I would have to say I really liked New York, New York.

Trip to Vegas

My Grandma Belle passed away a few weeks ago. So the baby and I hopped on a plane and flew into Las Vegas. My in-laws happened to be out playing in their motor home and they drove into Vegas to pick us up. Then they drove us to St George to my Grandma's funeral. I was so happy that I made the trip. I read a poem at the grave site when I didn't think I would have the courage not to cry and I am super glad I was able to say goodbye. I saw my brothers, whom I haven't seen in a very long time. I figured it had been almost ten years since I had seen Tracy. I did not bring my camera to the funeral but you must take my word for it, he looks exactly like my Dad. I was happy to have a few hours to see him and his family. I saw cousins I haven't seen in years and we we were all able to say goodbye to a very beautiful woman.
After the funeral, we drove back to Vegas because my Mom reserved one of her time shares and we spent a few days of R&R and family bonding. I got to meet my niece Taylor and chill with Mady, Kiana,Shaely, and Tearle.
It was a whirl wind trip and it cost a small fortune to fly last minute but I was so glad I went. I have only been to Vegas, once, that I can remember, and I was too young to really appreciate it. You hear lots of crazy things about Vegas but I thought it was a lot of fun. I really want to go back with just Kyle and I. We would have a great time. I did "The CSI Experience" with Kiana. It was super cool. There was a crime scene with a dead body and we had to find evidence and go to the lab and figure out the crime. Of course, Kiana and I solved the crime and received our CSI diplomas from an electronic Gil Grissom. (I suppose you had to be there to truly appreciate our expertise. lol)
I will post pictures when I can get my computer to work. It is really acting up.

Football and Cheer!





Kaden is number 42.

Karson cheering at a high school game. She did a cheer clinic.


They have grown a ton in one year!Took this picture in the same place last year. SO this is the kids in 2008.

Uncle Fred visited the first week of school.




It was an extremely hectic week but the kids got to spend a little time with Uncle Fred. They missed him terribly. It took the whole four days for the baby to warm up to him but NOW she talks about him constantly.
Look! Kaden is catching up to Uncle. He will be as tall as Fred before you know it.

First Day of school

2009-Just wanted to post some pics from the first day of school.




-Kaden 13 8th Grade, Karson 10 5th grade, and baby Khale 2 and off to daycare!

Karson picked out this very special backpack. She made the poor store attendant fetch it off the top shelf using a ladder. We must have been to every store in the mall before she found what she was looking for.

Check out what Khale's shirt says. Kyle loves it. It says, "My Daddy is the big Kahuna."
