Pumpkins & Spooktacular

We carved pumpkins for Halloween the other night when Ty got home, Braden was super excited. Kota was just happy to be on the table LOL She also had a good time grabbing seeds out of the pumpkins. Braden had carved a pumpkin with Papa Steve with angry eyes so he wanted a "happy pumpkin" so he chose a smiling ghost. I chose Kota's, simple :)

Today, Saturday, we went to the main street Spooktacular. The kids had fun. Braden LOVES his Spiderman costume. It takes an act of congress to get it off of him (Thanks Grandma Nyla ;) So he pretty much wore his mask for almost the whole time. He took it off to eat and then decided he wanted his costume off completely. I put Kota in the costume contest, I thought she was adorable of course :) She is mama/nurse. I got lots of compliments on her costume. Braden didn't want to walk across the stage so he didn't do the contest this year. Hayden, Drayke, and Shiloh came over and hung out with us for a bit. The boys have a lot of fun together :) On the way home both kiddos zonked, I'm pretty sure Dakota didn't make it out of the parking lot. I can't wait for Monday to take them trick or treating, So much fun!!!

Fun with my Bell Bell

This week we've been able to have my niece Izabella, aka Bell Bell, stay with us. She is my little brother's daughter. She is 3 months older than Braden and they are little buddies. They played so good together and Braden insisted on making her bed in his room and then he had to sleep next to her :) We would take Braden to preschool and when we picked him up he would run out and say "where's my cousin?" "where's my bell bell?" so cute. The first few nights they were exhausted from playing and zonked at like 7 o'clock LOL We went for a horse ride on Minnie, Braden's horse, which Bella LOVED. We went to the homecoming parade on Friday and Braden was content with a few pieces of candy but Bella kept yelling at the floats "hey throw candy, I like candy!" Everyone around us was laughing. We also went to the football game that night with Papa Steve and Grandma Tammi and the kids had a blast. They caught a bunch of little foam footballs and ran around having a good time. Saturday we played with Braden's cousins for a while, and went to the Bullaween in Spanish Fork that night. We dressed the kids up for it, since there's a costume contest. Braden was "Maverick" off Top Gun, Bella wanted to be a princess (we made her a warm princess), and Kota was me....a nurse :) They ran around the entire time and all got little treats for participating in the contest. Bella was fascinated with the bulls, since she isn't around them all the time. At the end my dad, Papa Steve, was doing magic tricks for the kids LOL overall a very busy, very fun week. We miss you already Bella Boo. Braden asked for you for the entire day today :) Thanks for coming and visiting us!!!!! Love you!
