Fall Football

Both the boys wanted to play football this fall.  They had fun, well I forced them to have fun.  Jordan loved it after the first practice.  He said on the way home that this was the best day ever... then he had his first game.  He was freaked out.  I think that he was a little shocked the he got knocked around a little bit.  But he finished the season and did great. McKay on the other hand did not like football to start with.  He did not like getting knocked down or knocking other people down.  But as the season went on, he became a powerhouse player.  He really got in there and pushed those other kids around.  Funny how the roles changed.  We did not get pictures because the cost a fortune... So I  took some outside in the year before we had to turn in their pads.  Here is what I got.

I think that we are offically Buckeye fans... After BYU of course....

I LOVE this picture.  I am going to enlarge it and put in on the boys wall. 

Halloween

Halloween at our house was a lot of fun this year.  We got to have Grandma and Grandpa Karpowitz come for a visit.  Jordan was a pirate.  I LOVED his costume, especially the hat.  He did not like the black on his face.  He wanted to be a "clean" pirate. 

Hailee was a butterfly.  She was SOOOO cute.  I just love this girl.  She had to have some makeup on because she saw me doing everyone else's makeup.  She is such a girly, girl....

Mackenzie went as Dorothy.  She LOVED her dress and I loved that she hair was long enought to put into pig tails.  She really looked so cute!

McKay went as Darth Vader.  I had planned to not get any new costumes for the boys because I had some that they could use.  I usually buy some right after Halloween for cheap.  But he REALLY wanted to be Darth Vader.  So while he was a school, I went to the store and surprised him with his costume.  He was so excited and told me that "I was the best mom in the whole galaxy".  I must be... he said it...

Grandm and Grandpa with the kids at the downtown trick-or-treating.  The kids loved that grandma and grandpa got to get in on all the festivities...

I did not get a picture of Laci.  I am planning on dressing her up and taking some fake ones since I did not get any on the actual holiday.

Baby times

This is a picture of my littlest girl.  She is getting so big.  Today she rolled all over the living room floor. She is almost 14 lbs and reminds me of a little turkey.  She is so much fun to hold and kiss.  She just melts right into you.  I love her so much.  Her sweet little spirit has made our family complete.
