A Surprise Visit

Adele, Anna and Piper were flying to Boise to spend Thanksgiving with our family, but ended up with a detour to Salt Lake. After many delays and running through airports they made a stop in Salt Lake. It was not a scheduled stop mind you. So they came with what Adele had in her carry on, aka a diaper bag, and that's it. But we loved the one night they stayed with us. The girls are so happy and easy going, they are a blast to be around. And although you can't tell, Adele is pregnant with number 3 due in May!!!!

PS-Makenna was very sick, hence the pretty smile.

Bow and Arrows

Rhett has been fascinated by archery for quite some time. He always asks when he can have a real bow and arrow, and we just skirt around the topic. So the other day, he made his own. And it works. Pretty smart kid.

Peek-a-boo....

Dean is such a show off!!! Every year he does a great pumpkin carving. I am so old school, a couple triangles and and mouth and its good. But not Dean. He's done things from Winnie the Pooh to bats, 16 years of Halloween's and his is always the best.

Happy Halloween

Rhett was a Cereal Killer, Caden a Mummy and Makenna for this picture a ballerina.
Then she changed into her flapper costume.

SNOW!!!!!!

Pumpkins and snow!!!! These were taken with my phone. I need to take some with the camera so they turn out better. But it looks like the kids may be trick or treating in snow suits.

The Great Pumpkin

It was a do it yourself year. The boys each wanted to do something different...

Caden wanted to carve.....

Rhett wanted to paint....

And Makenna didn't want to do either.

Corn Maze

Dean came home for his birthday, so we took the kids to a corn maze.

Caden

The kids went through by themselves and they found their way out. Luckily I had Dean with me and he has some sweet navigation skills. Otherwise I may still be lost in there.
