Bunco Baby Shower!

 We have a fabulous Bunco group!  A few other women have already had babies and we've had a shower for each one.  There are 4 of us pregnant now and this month it was my turn for a shower.  It was very fun!

 They had darling decorations and a very sweet cake.

 Mom got to come as a sub.  This is the darling and very soft blanket that she made for me.

 Everyone went in and got me a new car seat, since I didn't keep anything :)

 There were some darling outfits and lots of the GREAT practical things like a changing pad, lotion and washes, hooded towel, nursing cover, and burp clothes.

 April even ordered me a fabulous corsage from Aunt Lisa.  I'm going to save it to hang on her crib.

Thank you everyone, but especially April for making this all happen!  If you haven't heard, we are scheduled for January 4th, 2012 :)

Tyden plays soccer!

 Tyden just finished his second year of soccer.  He played for the Vipers.  He was WAY better than he was last year.

 It probably helped that he has a late B-day and was playing on the younger team because of it.  He knew how to dominate the field!  He scored quite a few times.

 He became known for his signature move which was a back kick that threw everyone off and sent the ball in the opposite direction - the right direction for his team!  It was very cool.

 This is his coach.  They had a party at the end at Mountain Mikes.

 His best friend Cole had the same coach but was on the older team - he has the early b-day :)

Fort Fun!

Before church we are always trying to come up with some good Sunday appropriate fun and this week it was a fort.  They read books together, searched for things in Tyden's "I Spy book," and watched "Mary Poppins."  They had a great time!

Girls, girls, girls!

My Best friend April Walton is having a baby girl too.  According to our ultrasounds, we are actually due the exact same day 1/11/12!  Pretty crazy!  She had a show this weekend and I have her 2 of the same outfits, one for each of us so the girls can be twinners :)  We can't really hug anymore these days because we are belly bumping, so we took a picture of that too.  I thought the bassinet was such a cute way to put the presents so I took a picture of that too. 

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a very fun day!  First, the kids had parties at school (grandma and mom went to Tyden's class and did a pumpkin painting project and made edible bones with them).  Kasen got to do a downtown trick or treat with April's preschool.  Then it was off to trunk or treat for all of us.I was an Indian woman so I made Dad be my Cowboy.

  I need to teach my young women how center a picture and get all of the subject you are after :)  I really should have checked it before she left.  Oh well, you get the idea. :)

Cypress was Hermione from Harry Potter and Tayla was the Rodeo Queen.  Tyden was Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon, and Kasen was a Rooster.  They were all darling!

Dad and Uncle Tom decided to sit on our porch and scare trick-or- treaters.  IT WORKED!!  Some people wouldn't even come up to the porch.  They had a great time.

Grandma and Aunt Brandie went with mom and the kids around our neighborhood.  They all did quite well as far as candy collecting!  It was a very fun day!

Pumpkin carving party!

Every year Grandma Hunter has a carving party for family and friends in her backyard.  This year was no different.  It was full of food and fun!  Kasen and Tyden picked out their design, mom cleaned out the pumpkin, they separated the seeds from the gunk, mom helped them draw the design on the pumpkin and dad carved it out with the saw.

The girls did most of theirs on their own although mom did have to help with the cleaning out.

Tayla did a great job.  Dad actually cut out Tyden's eyes and he carved the mouth out himself.

Grandma made her yummy donuts as usual!  And we enjoyed our witches brew to drink (apple cider in dry ice).  It's quite a cool thing!! 

The final products!!  Kasen ate donuts and was then spinned on the swing and he threw up all over his costume.  He also insisted that his be blue.  We were not impressed at first, but as you can see, it's pretty cute and the face shows up very well that way.  Later he was calling it his happy smurf pumpkin.  Cypress' is the Harry Potter Logo and Tayla and Tyden just chose a cool face.

Everyone did a great job!
