Happy Halloween!

Last night was Ryan and Megan's Wedding party and it was an awesome turn out! So many people dressed up and it was all around a great deal of fun!

Tonight was a total blast as well! We went to the Trunk or Treat at the church (it was a 4 ward trunk or treat this year! So many kids!) and we decorated a car. When it came time to trick or treat Cadence was excited but didn't really get it until after the first ten or so cars. Then she just "got" it. We were practically running from car to car. She filled up her Hello Kitty treat bag pretty fast! Anyway here are some pictures of Cadence in her darling Pirate costume!

Yes, yes...I know...she is the cutest Pirate you've seen since Johnny Depp...lol...really though she had so much fun getting dressed up!

Here she is giving her Grandma Suzi kisses! She loves kisses and hugs!

And here is Cady with her buddy Kylee. Kylee is in my primary class and she and Cadence are very close. Cadence cries when Kylee has to go sit with her family in Sacrament Meeting. Anyway, Cadence had such a great time this year and I am really looking forward to next year when she might actually have an opinion about what she wants to wear! :o)

Pumkin Carving

We had some pumpkin carving fun tonight with Ryan and Megan, who are down visiting and getting ready for their All Hallows Eve Wedding Party! It is going to be a total blast, with everyone wearing costumes and a candy bar and just plain all around Halloween fun! Anyway, we carved three of the thirty or so pumpkins that we have for the party and had a great time! Cadence really didn't know what we were doing, but she was having fun watching for a while. When she got bored she pulled out her orange crayons and helped us "color" our pumpkins. She was really stoked when we lit them up though! I love Halloween. Next to Thanksgiving it is totally my favorite holiday. Here are some pictures of all the fun we had!

Here is Brady and Ryan cleaning out their pumpkins...

Here is all of us with the two that we finished before dinner...

This is Brady's throwing up pumpkin...

Here was Ryan's Spider pumpkin (which I actually carved, but he did all the dots for me)

And that one is my mummy. We had some serious fun taking the pictures at the end. I am so glad that I got a tripod and when we started taking them we didn't notice the reflection at first. Way fun!
We will be carving many more pumpkins in the next few days and I will try and post more as we get them! Hope everyone is having as much a blast getting ready for Halloween as we are!

Welcome to the world baby Wiltbank

Whitney's little girl made her debut in to the world on Monday evening, weighing in at 6lbs 1oz and a tall 20 inches. The few pictures I have seen are darling and I can't wait to go and visit and take some of my own. Mom and baby came home from the hospital after only 24 hours and all was fine with one small exception...Baby Wiltbank didn't have a name yet! I am happy to announce that after much deliberation between mom and dad, Baby Wiltbank is now Avery Wiltbank! We are so happy you decided to join the family Avery! And we hope that you will let your parents sleep sometime in the near future.

Whitney is having her baby!

My sister called to let us know that she is officially going to the hospital to have her daughter today! I am so excited to meet her! She wasn't due until Nov. 4th so she is a little early, but Whitney has been contracting for the last two weeks off and on and she was dilated to a 5 at her last appointment! Today she was every five minutes and it was totally time! So good luck Whitney! Hope it goes fast and that everyone is perfectly healthy at the end!

Hello Bridget!

Everyone, this is Bridget. Bridget is one of Cadence's friends from our ward. Bridget has won the award for the most fun had on a slide ever. I am serious. This girl was having a total blast. Every time she slid down there was something like this going on at the bottom...

Every. Single. Time. And she probably went down about a hundred times. It was fabulous. She is also a total ham. Once she realized that I was taking pictures she would wait at the top of the slide until I looked at her, then she would smile and wouldn't go down until I snapped a few shots. I was having a blast documenting her fun.

Cadence of course had a great time! She was running around with all the kids bossing them around and helping the little ones try and do things that they shouldn't. All in all it was a great day at the park! For more photos from our day check out my photo blog!

Football Weekend!

Brady and I got a weekend away! We flew out to Arizona to see my sister, Whitney, and her husband Cord. We also saw two football games while we were up there. ASU v Washington and a Pro football game, the Cardinals v the Carolina Panthers. ASU won which made Cord very happy (he is an ASU fan) along with the Panthers. Brady and I were cheering for the Panthers in the second game, mostly because a guy who Brady played football with in High School now plays for Carolina. The stadium was awesome and we had a blast, despite my getting pretty sick the first day! Both games were packed and there were lots of crazy fans all around us!
Also my sister is due any day now (literally, since she has been having contractions daily for the last week or so and is dialated to a 4/5) and I got to take some photos of her! Here is one of my favorites! I will post the rest on my photo blog so check them out and tell me what you think. (Whit I will get you a CD of everything very soon!)

Cadence taking a bath!

So it happened. Cadence takes baths again! She has re-discovered the fine art of splash. Here are some photos of her having a great time! To see the rest of her tub time antics (among other things) please visit my photo blog. There is a link at the top right of the page!
