Trick or Treat, Aren't they sweet?

Just wanted to share a couple of photos from our Trunk or Treat party at our ward building.

Shad couldn't wear his mask but he is supposed to be Optimus Prime. For those who don't know who that is he is the leader of the Autobots on Transformers. He has a Blue and grey face so Shad let us talk him into painting his face and hair. Of course our little lady bug Kayla sure got a lot of compliments. She was so danged cute.

Speaking of cute I want to tell you that she has been starting to say more and more things. But one of the cutest/funniest was last night as we were kneeling down to pray. It was Shad's turn and he didn't want to pray so Lynette told him to help Kayla. He decided that was OK and Lynette said "She can't hear you." When she said that Kayla leaned in towards Shad and said "Huh?" as if to tell him "Yeah, I can't hear you." Lynette and I had to fight to keep from laughing. It was so cute and you probably had to be there but we sure loved it.

Carving Pumpkins

I know we are a little late in adding this post about Halloween but better late than never.

This was Joshalyn's first year of carving a pumpkin by herself. She actually picked out her pumpkin and the design she wanted to carve. This picture here is her design at night. If you can't tell very well it is a Cat. She did very well for her first pumpkin by herself. Because she is such a little princess I thought there was no way she would do it all alone. But the only thing that I did was cut the top for her. She cleaned it and cut the design and everything else. It was fun.

The night that we did the pumpkins was a Family Home Evening night and we thought it would be fun to have some friends over. We have been having a family over to our house to have the discussions with the missionaries. This was the family that came over. Man what a good time we had.
