When You're Eight...

...there huge excitement when you open your birhtday present and it is a PILLOW PET! Spencer had been asking for one, and he got his wish.

...you blow out the candles on the ice cream cake that you pick out.

...you become a Cub Scout! He got his nice shirt from grandma Stanworth. He has been to two den meetings- and can I just say, he is LOVING every minute of it!

...you are old enough to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was a strange day- Spencer was feeling all kinds of emotions, from excitement to being upset because school friends didn't come and everything in between. Over all it was a nice day with an excellent program! Thank you so much to all our family who came and participated and to my wonderful friends for singing.

I'm an Aunt!!

Our family's miracle has arrived!!! (Really it is Ashley and Logan's- but I am darn excited to have this little here!) Tatum entered the world on Monday morning at 7:47, weighting 7lb 6oz. Isn't she just beautiful?! I couldn't help myself and I drove up Monday night to hold her, take pictures and visit with Ashley. She had a super rough day, but was starting to feel a bit better that night. I stayed way longer than I had planned, but I just couldn't stop taking pictures. She is so precious!! I don't think it gets more perfect than this!

This gorgeous hat my dear friend made Ashley. She is actually going to start selling them. Check out her blog if you are interested. :)

I mean- look at those tiny feet!!!

While I was cooking dinner tonight my mom called to tell me that once again only 2 days later I am an aunt again!! My oldest brother Jason and his wife welcomed their first daughter into the world this afternoon. Tagan was 7lbs 10oz and from what I hear she has some hair too. Her delivery was fast- I am so excited for them!! I am going to have to wait until spring break to visit them. We are just over the moon to have some girls in this family. However I am SO glad that it is someone other than me. :) Just got some pictures-

Girl's Night- Roller Skating & Fright Night

So it was a friends birthday and all she wanted to do was go roller skating. Do you know how long it has been since I have roller skated? Much too long!! So we thought it would be hilarious to go looking like roller derby girls. Holy cow- we had SO MUCH FUN! So much in fact that we are already talking about when we are going to do it again!!

Train with the birthday girl!!

The whole group.

A few of my friends had this idea to dress up in Halloween garb and go out to dinner. I thought it sounded like fun, so I was on board. However again, I don't dress up, so I was on the hunt for a CHEAP costume to wear. I found this doctor costume at Target for a decent price and went with it. Again I laughed so hard- it was a FUN, FUN night!

Halloween 2010- Star Wars

It all started with Spencer deciding that he wanted to be Obi-Wan, and the theme exploded.

I have an AMAZING friend who offered to make this unbelievable costume for Spencer.

Then with LOTS of convincing I was able to get Jamison to agree to be Anikin. Shortly into October I got onto ebay and found a great deal for his costume. Paid for it and expected it no later than the 25th of October. However the day before our ward trunk-or-treat we were without a costume because the crappy person never mailed it. A whole other story, but now I have had to put a claim into ebay trying to get my money back. At the last moment on Friday Jamey spent some time driving to 3 different stores trying to find a costume, with sadly no luck. Only a couple of hours until the trunk-or-treat (in which Jamison was just going to wear a costume we already owned) a friend called me and told me to call another friend to see if she had something that would work. To my udder surprise, this is what she dropped off to us. Absolute perfection!!!

Doesn't he look so darn cute?!

And then there was this one. Jamison actually wore this costume when he was 18 months old, so I was excited to already have it. However like most things in this little ones life these days he was not thrilled with the idea that I wanted pictures. So this is what we got.

I found for a steal of a deal this hilarious costume for Jamey. He is a good sport, considering I don't dress up. (He is Plo Koon.) I love this group shoot- turned out fairly good and Everett was a bit more cooperative.

The boys had so much fun trick-or-treating this year and I must say there is way too much candy in this house!!! Everett was totally getting into the whole thing and once his bucket started getting heavy I tried to take it, to carry it for him- complete melt down! So we just went even slower. Our neighborhood is still not completely finished, so there aren't tons of houses to trick-or-treat at without walking tons. So I asked the Briggs if we could crash their neighborhood and go with them. Holy cow- there were tons of houses and again SO MUCH CANDY!!
