BFF's

Our dear friends, the Patterson's are leaving us this December to move back to Washington. I don't know what we are going to do this winter when all of our friends leave us. It seams to be a trend with us. No worries though.... Gabe is officially graduating this April!!!! FINALLY!!! Anyway, so Jessie and I decided that we should take some cute pictures of the girls together. They love each other. You should see them when they first see each other, they literally run up to each other screaming their best friends name. Ashlyn is going to miss Emy so much!

Poor Emy was so tired!

You wouldn't know they loved each other by the way they look every time they hug each other!

Easton's baby blessing

As I was updating the blog, I realized that I didn't post Easton's baby blessing on here. I've been so crazy crazy busy lately and just didn't have the time.

Wow Easton's blessing weekend was crazy! I had just had surgery on wednesay. Of course I thought I could fit it all in, I thought I would be feeling great! :) That was a joke. I was in so much pain, and we had all our family in town. Ashlyn's birthday party was on Saturday and Easton's blessing was on Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing for a beautiful boy!

We took advantage of almost all the cousins together. They are a handsome bunch!

What a beautiful little girl she is! We're going to have to keep our eye on her.

I love this picture, everyone looking in different directions.

Precious moments!

We missed Candace, Jacque and Baer! They weren't able to make it this weekend. Cory came later for the blessing!

The blessing circle minus Cory

I'm so eternally grateful for my family. I have an incredible husband who does nothing but love his family. And together we have the most beautiful children. My life is truly full of love and happiness! What more could I ask for!

Halloween!!!!

HALLOWEEN.....We had a great halloween this year, first with the ward halloween trunk or treat, and then following that, our amazing halloween party with our friends.

This year, Easton's first halloween, he was a duck. Don't make fun... his dad did enough of that! I thought he made a handsome duck:)

Ashlyn's costume we bought last year, we lost. So this year she made a beautiful ballerina.

This is our friends, Steve and Rebecca's, cute little boy with Easton!

Ashlyn with Emy, our friends Jessie and Dallin's little girl!

Ashlyn was so funny as she shyly approached the cars and said, "treat" in her cute little voice but didn't hesitate to grab a handful of candy when given the opportunity, and even an occasional seconds when the bowls were extended to her just a little too long.

My costume was also lost so I resorted to the "fall back" costume, Cowgirl, and a witch for our personal party!

The food, made by my friends, looked and tasted amazing this year!

I can not tell you how difficult it was to eat those hot dog fingers. They looked so real and disgusting, but they tasted quite delicious! The dark one is ketchup and the green one is mustard!

Jessie, Dallin, and Emery

Gabe's fallback costume happens to be the scary costume he got before we had children. Didn't think of the reprocustions of that one!

This is a picture of my life! Screaming Ashlyn, crying Easton, my husband, who likes to push the buttons of my children, and me laughing because this is an all too familiar scene for me!

I will say that they both are crying for a reason, their dad is unrecognizable and a little scary.His costume even scares me a little. I told Gabe that's probably why Ashlyn isn't sleeping well at night. We might just have to lose that costume next year!

Ashlyn, being scared, ran into the arms of the person closest to her. Poor girl, we are going to stick to only happy costumes from now on!
