Halloween

 We had a fun Halloween. Not much more explanation needed...

Showing off some of the spoils at the end of trunk-or-treat.

He wasn't too fond of the vibrating spider.

We ran into Morgan's good friend Angel.

He isn't asleep here, the flash just made him close his eyes. But he was pretty out of it throughout the whole thing. Just laid back and enjoyed I guess.

Playing games at trunk or treat.





They got these pumkins on a field trip at a VERY large pumpkin patch at Apple Annie's in Willcox. We had a blast. They were too small to carve though so we had to get creative.

All ready for their preschool Halloween party.



This picture was mostly just to show off Morgan's hair thing and shirt. :-)

October birthdays

October is a big month for us because we have 3 birthdays and Halloween. So Flory and I get honorable mention for having birthdays in October. We are back to back, the 22nd and 23rd, so sometimes we share a cake. This year she wanted German chocolate and I wanted carrot cake (a delicious recipe that you may want to have) so we got separate ones this year. Happy birthday to us!!

Ar-tist

Here's a couple of Morgan's drawings. We love that her pictures are starting to look like real things. So are Roy's for that matter. I'll have to post some of his first pictures later, but for now, here are some of my favorites of Morgan's...

Okay, I have to admit that this one is a little creepy, but I still love it.This is my favorite butterfly ever!
We may have a little artist on our hands. She certainly doesn't get it from me because this is how good I draw now! lol

Roy Boy is 3!!

We had a real small party for Roy at home with a Spiderman theme. He had a blast!!

Grammy and Grampy Dallof sent a gift and a note and Roy was so excited that he wanted to hang the note on the wall!

Happy Birthday Big Boy!!

Sandrail

Our main highlight of September is that we went to Mesa and picked up a sandrail. It's not for us unfortunately but for Roy's brother Ben. But we get use of it while Roy does some modifications to it. We've really enjoyed it so far!

4th of July

I ended up having a real mild case of food poisoning on the morning of the 4th so we didn't go to the parade in Benson or any of the day activities. But in the evening I was feeling well enough to go to fireworks (and even well enough to eat some KFC), so we went to Benson for that. We always just park in the parking lot of a company where Roy's dad use to work and we sit next to our car and eat and watch and then leave. It was fun--the firework show is pretty impressive for such a little town. Morgan and Roy were both a little scared and Dallin was just shocked.

A visit 6 years past due

We love this family! We were good friends with them when we lived in New Orleans. They had two kids and we had 0. Natalie and I were VT companions and Anthony and Roy had a ton of invention ideas between the two of them. 6 years, 6 kids, one airplane accident, several hurricanes and many moves later we finally got together. The Perry's came to visit us in St. David. We had a bbq and visited like we'd been hanging out every weekend for the past 6 years. It was a blast. Their 5 kids and our 3 got along so great. We've since been to their place in Gilbert and tried to get together a couple of other times as well. We hadn't realized what we'd missed! Thanks for being such great friends guys!!

I wish I'd gotten more pictures of the kids...but this is all I got. Their oldest and youngest, Brigham and Rigdon....and our youngest, Dallin. Brigham was such a little tike when we last saw them it was mind boggling to see him this old and so good with all the little ones. All of their kids were amazingly well behaved, I was impressed!
