~Celebrations~



DJ turned 1 today :) We had a simple party here with the kids. I'm not sure if it's the weather or the effects of ginormous amounts of candy, but it sounded like we had 77 kids in the house, not 7 :) Fun party anyhoo :) And Halloween was fun... a couple teletubbies, a ghost, a clone trooper, a cowgirl, and a bomber pilot.... you can't go wrong!


So the teletubbies costumes weren't quite as obvious as I'd hoped, but wasn't Dave a good sport? :) I had put together the red Po costume for myself, and the night before Halloween Dave said "Can I borrow your costume for work", so I ran out and got some green sweats and tried to alter a black hat to look like Dipsy. It's much more fun to dress up with someone :) So for the teletubbie belly TV's I purchased some stick-on glittery felt. Lily got one of the pieces and drew a picture of a snail (Gary from spongebob lol) and wrote his name next to the picture. She then wanted to cut out her work. She came to me a while later and showed me her masterpiece and then told me "Mom, I did it, and I didn't even cut my face!" haha If I'd only known that was something to worry about in the first place! Kyle also said something amusing today. During sacrament meeting in church he turned to me and asked me what SACRAMENT meant....as I was quietly thinking he said "I mean, does it have any Foreignese meaning". FOREIGNESE hahaha He knew what he meant, and he knew it came out funny, but it was still a brilliantly wrong word! :) And since I can't recall Toby's latest funny, I'll reminisce..... When Lily was watching Dora, Toby proclaimed, "That will poison your mind and give you evil thoughts". :) I just love my kids!!!!

Happy birthday to Derek! I knew he was coming up on his big day, but wasn't too sure when it was. Your teletubbies were great. I knew exactly who you guys were when I saw you. The rest of your gang looked so cute too. Gotta love Halloween!

I can't believe he dressed up with you. Rick never would have :) So cute though-all of you. I can't believe your baby is 1! Crazy.

Very cute kids, and great video!! I wish we lived closer too! We should plan to get together some time when I am in Utah or if you ever come to Idaho!! Wouldn't it be fun if we could all get together and play pictionary or something, like when we were kids!!

I really enjoy reading your blog, and LOVE the utube links. Your kids are adorable and it's so nice to feel like we can keep in touch. I check Toby's page often, and you and your family are truly an inspiration. I look forward to more utube video’s, that Lily is a talented little singer, and always love hearing good news about Toby.
