Halloween Night

Susanna decided to go with the maiden look, Briar Rose, instead of the pirate.

Laney wanted to be scary and went with a vampire look.

SO SCARY!  HA!

Drew the wizard

Goofy Daniel

We trick or treated at Ms. McClain's house, one of our favorite teachers.

And we also went to the Johnson's.

Emma is like a big sister to the twins.  They are great buddies.

Mrs. Johnson spoils our kiddos rotten.  She is their mom at school.  We love her bunches!

Sara went with the 80's look, Tim the pirate, and Lilly a "ceiling fan",  #1 fan that is

These guys have been friends forever.

Lilli was a very pretty "tin man"

Jessi was Poison Ivy.

Josh had a double date at the house for Halloween.  They did a great job carving pumpkins.

Josh, Brynna, Caity and Malachi

Tim picked me some pretty flowers for my new vase.

Sara's First Homecoming Dance

Sara's best friend Lilly asked her to go to Dysart High School's homecoming dance with her. Jessi gave us this pretty dress that had a broken zipper.  I fixed it up and it worked perfectly for the occasion.  We added my grandmother's pearl necklace to finish it off.

So girly!  I love it!

Such pretty friends

Killer Eyes

Beauty!

Such happiness, nothing like a best friend!

The First Of This Years Halloween Costumes

Susanna was determined to match Tim this year.  He calls her Truest Love.  He's called her that since she was a toddler and she loves it.  They decided to go with pirate costumes.

The Jester

The Pumpkin King

Our Flapper Girl

Daniel's Pueblo Project

Daniel was super creative with his Native American Dwelling Project.  His teacher said he was her first student to build an edible dwelling.  He was so proud.  It turned out really well.

He even designed it so the upper story of the pueblo could lift off showing the inside of their home.

He did a great job on his presentation and got an A+.  

Sister Palma

We visited with Sister Palma.  We sang "A Place In His Arms" to her and visited with her.  She is one of the most wonderful people on earth.  She has fabulous stories (She was baptized in the Mesa temple when she was 8. She worked for the police force in L.A. etc) and is tender and loving with the kids.    She took such good care of us after several of our babies were born, spoiling us with tons of delicious food and love. 

She has lived longer than the doctors expected and is a great blessing to our family.  We are grateful for every minute with her.

October Ely Birthday Party

Fun times for all at the Ely Birthday party.

Little Danica, the fairy princess

I love Emmett's cheesy smile!

Lots of little cuties

Beautiful Nellie

Such baby blues!

I have the coolest mom ever!

Awww...  Babies!

Tuckered out teens, Tim, Sara and Lilly

I love to watch all the cousins play together.  It's the best.

My sweetie!
