Halloween Party #2

We had a fun little family party with Ryan's family. Everyone dressed up and we played games, and ate yummy food, and the kids all had a great time. I was dressed up like a maid... Ryan was dressed up as.... something spooky, Elizabeth was Belle, Alexis was a airplane, and Brytlee was a person from whenever they wore the little poodle skirts. (we changed her into Snow White half way through the party because it was really hard the get her body suit of to take her to the bathroom)

Half way through the party we thought it would be funny to mix things up a little bit. So I made Ryan put on my costume, and I put on his. It was really funny.

All the grand kids with Grandma and Grandpa.



Our Brother in Law Mike. I loved his costume. (he is a truck driver)
Elizabeth had a party at school that she was able to dress up for and she wanted to be super girl. So this is her all ready to go to her party.

photo shots

the girls always want to know if they can take the camera and take pictures? So one day I gave into Alexis and said that she could take a couple of pictures if she was careful.... and what do you know. She took some very cute pictures.




I love that she got such cute pictures of Brytlee playing in the leaves. And she got this great action shot of her jumping. I may have the have her use the camera more often.

Halloween Party #1

Ryan and I were invited to a Adult costume party this year. It was so much fun!!! We both dressed up like cheerleaders, (I found my uniform at the DI where I live. I had to by it because what are the odds that a Rigby (my home town) cheer outfit would end up at the DI here?)


So sexy
Our good friend Shawn Marlow.... He looked so funny! When we walked in he went up to Ryan and said, "Does a guy like me have any chance with a girl like you?"

My BFF Stephanie was dressed up as a witch. The party was a lot of fun. We had great food, and fun games to play. I found out that Ryan really does not pay very close attention when it comes to detail.... like he has no clue what color my eyes are...... (we played the newly wed game and he didn't do so well)

Two Weeks ago....

I am a little behind and need to be better about getting things posted. Two weekends ago, my Parents, and my brother Greg came to help us on our house. They got all the floor on so that was so nice to have help on!
After we got it done, we put some water sealer on it, and then covered it with tarps because the whole next week was going to be snow, and rain almost everyday.

The kids all had a lot of fun together. We hung out at our house, and then was also over at the building house, or running around getting supplies. They all were great and my girls loved having the cousins around.
We have so many leaves at our house and I have been waiting for them to dry out a little before I got them all picked up..... so Mike and the other boys got as many as they could and put them on the tramp. They had a blast jumping in them, but they were so covered in little leaves and I had a hard time getting it out of the girls hair.

What has been going on

Fall is already here and I am really getting sick of the leaves.... but my girls think they are the best. Alexis loves to go out and rake them up only to jump in them and Elizabeth loves to hide in them, and throw them up in the air.




"Bryltee's a crazy Rabbit Squirrel"! Elizabeth put some makeup on Brytlee and came out and told us that Brytlee was a crazy Rabbit Squirrel, and she wanted cookies! We figured out that she was trying to say "Rabid". (she just watched over the hedge)
Brytlee is being potty trained. I am not going to really brag or say to many good things because I don't want too jinks anything. But I am determined to keep her out of diapers this time, and I am not giving up.
Elizabeth had had a loose tooth for a while, and has asked Ryan to pull it out every day for a couple of weeks now. It wasn't really ready so he kept telling her to wait. And on Sunday it was finally ready to be pulled.
Before
After
We did the fish line, and it was to slick so it didn't work, and then Ryan got the pliers and that didn't work, so he went back to the dental floss and it worked like a charm.
Elizabeth couldn't wait to have the tooth fairy come that night so she was in a big hurry to get to bed. I loved having her get to bed so well that I wish we had something to look forward to going to bed for every night. The tooth fairy did stop by and left her $1.00. She couldn't wait to go and buy something but found out that it is hard to find something you want that is only $1.00. She was sad but then told me that she didn't want to waist her money, and told me to keep it for building the house. Such a sweet heart!
Elizabeth wanted to take a few pictures... she did a good job!

Brytlee is wearing a outfit that Alexis wore on her first day of Pre-school..... She felt really cute and told me that I needed to take some pictures. I can tell that she has been watching her sisters pose for pictures.

One of Brytlee's little friends at the gym I go to can not remember her name so he calls her "twinkle" I thought it was so cute! I had a bunch of other things that I wanted to write down before I forget them but I can't remember any more right now.... dang it!

house update

We had such a great work day on our house this last weekend! The weather was perfect!!!! And my Brother in Law Rob, Sister Annette, and their family came down on Sat. morning to help us get some walls up, and our stairs!!!!

Ryan's Dad has been so much help. He has been working with Ryan almost every single day. I am so grateful to him for helping out so much and being so good to us!
Two day's ago Ryan and his dad were working together and were trying to pull out a board from under the floor boards. Denton was helping hold them up with a board while Ryan was pulling on the other. Ryan's board came out really fast and hit Denton right above his eye and made a big gash on his eyebrow. I could tell that it made Ryan feel so bad.... It probably could have used some stitches but they just used super glue
We also had Karsten working with us, and Mike my other brother in law. We had such a great crew and got so much done! I love day's that you see so much progress!
Annette and I helped a little. ... I always wish that I had more that I could help with but most of it is stuff I don't even know why they are doing it.... So it is fun to get into some wood work.


Beautiful Stairs!!!!

Our very first wall to go up!!!!
