Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. The kids and I dressed up and went to our ward party. Owen was a white ninja, Ellie and I were both witches. Shane had to work until 6 so he didn't make it to the party until it was almost over. Once he got home we headed up to my parents so I could hang out there with Ellie while he took Owen out to get some candy.


My brother, his wife and my youngest nephew meet us there so they could go out together trick or treating. It was a fun to get together, but it was my first night not going out since Ellie was so little and the weather wasn't that good. Owen seemed to have a lot of fun though.

The Big 30

So I turned 30 this year. Can't believe it. Seems like 30 was so far away, but crept up on me fast. I had the day off from work, so the kids and I were able to sleep in. Shane had school and then had to work. I went to Owen and Ellie's Halloween party at their daycare. They got to get dressed up in their costumes, played games and got lots of candy. At the party Owen poked me in the left eye with his finger. He managed it get most of his finger tip in there it seems. It caused my eye to water, but through out the rest of the day it hurt really bad and I wasn't able to keep any mascara on it. Looked pretty stupid since I was still going places.

After the party, I went to lunch with my mom and then my friend Polly was up at WSU for class. She stopped by my parent's and we got some frozen yogurt at Frogurt. Love that place! It was nice to talk with her and catch up on things. She lives down in Lehi, so we don't get to spend much time together. It was really good to see her. Love ya SMALLS!

After that I went and got my hair done. It was a little treat for myself. Love having someone else do my hair. I added a lot more red to it since I was so bleached out with blonde. Kind of wanted to go back to how it used to be. I like it, but Shane can't wait for me to have it done again. (He's a blonde lover at heart!). I also had it cut into more of an A line.

It was a nice birthday to spend some time with my kids and family. Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the love that was shown.

Ellie-5 months

Ellie is now 5 months old. Crazy to think how fast a month has gone by. My friend, Kerstin had her baby boy earlier this month and it is so crazy how little a new born is. I thought Ellie looked so big after I saw him. She is more active now and is seriously trying to move everywhere. She hasn't quite got to crawling yet, but rolls and scoots. She definitely weighs more as well. I think we could be pushing close to 20 lbs. LOL! We will see though, her 6th month appt is at the end of next month. Can't wait to see how much she has grown. Here are some newer pics of her;

She had rice cereal on her face. Just thought she looked cute.

She sees the flash now and her eyes get really big. CRACKS me up!
