The last post I did, I mentioned that it had been a few years since making a post and that my oldest daughter had scolded me for not posting in quite a while! So, I decided that before YEARS once again had passed and before Katelin got onto me AGAIN for not posting about things happening in our lives....I needed to get busy!
Anyways....Here goes!!!!

Halloween Trick or Treating at Dad's/Papa's Work
It is always a fun treat!
Kinley (4 years old)
Kylee (9years old)
Mila (2 years old)
Getting started!
Tired already and taking a rest!!!
Mila is tired too or is she just following their example! :)
Some of the people up their go ALL out in their decorating...
but it makes it so fun.
This has always been a fun activity even back when Steve worked at Novell and all the kids went with us trick or treating. Now we are down to our last one....but thank goodness we have grandkids to enjoy this fun time together.

Feeding the Missionaries
Another activity that our family has enjoyed doing over the years. However, it has been several years since we have done this. Several years ago, before Steve was the Bishop of our ward and before Katelin got married...we had the missionaries over quite often because Steve was the ward mission leader. In fact, Elder Rowley and Elder Tree became "our missionaries". The kids LOVED THEM and so did Steve and I.
(Steve has stayed in contact with Elder Rowley by way of facebook and he is now married and is a Dad.)
:)
Well, I got an email from our ward mission leader now giving us first dibs on an opportunity to have the missionaries over for dinner. I quickly wrote him back! I wanted to have Kylee remember this fun opportunity and besides I sure appreciate the people over in England who are willing to serve our son in this same way.
Yeah for Pinterest Ideas!!!
Can you tell???
Halloween Candy Corns!
Kylee waiting for their arrival!
So thankful for these cute boys who leave their homes and families to serve our Father in Heaven!
They're wonderful!

Halloween 2014
Kylee as Belle
(Grandma made this beautiful dress for Kynsie when she was in her 4th grade Disney Play and now it's Kylee's turn to get to wear it. I LOVE it when I don't have to think hard about Halloween costumes.) :)
Tanner as a PHS Cheerleader
(His best friend talked him into this one!)
Kendra as a Troll and YES that is her REAL HAIR!
(After the day was over she said she would NOT recommend it to anyone!)
Kynsie as Wonder Women
Katelin and Nick and their little family
As you can see our children have ALWAYS and EVEN STILL love Halloween!
Halloween Picture Overload....
Kylee at the Westridge Halloween Parade
More of Tanner
These two are of Kylee having fun twirling down at Provo High as we were trying to get some pictures of Tanner.
LOVE this cool one of Kynsie ...
She is pretty talented when it comes to Photo Shop and graphics!
Halloween the last couple of years have been some warmer ones! In fact, they gave out some statistics on the news the morning of Halloween this year stating that in the last 140 years there have been 8 Halloweens that have had record breaking temps. for heat. One was two years ago and I remember loving the warm night that night as we went trick or treating.
But....I don't EVER remember it being warm enough to go BAREFOOT and that is how Kendra started out with us! Amazing!
What made this Halloween even BETTER was it was on a Friday this year so we could even enjoy it a little more. I LOVE FRIDAYS!!!!

A Broken Toe
Sunday evening Steve was writing Tyler's email and I think I was doing something important when all of a sudden we heard a bunch of screaming and wailing! It began as a bunch of fun but soon changed into serious stuff! We could soon tell that my Grandmother's statement of "much laughing comes before crying" had definitely taken on whole new meaning and that something not too good had happened. Steve stopped writing Tyler's email and I quickly came downstairs only to see Tanner laying on the ground and in much pain!
And...THIS...
notice his little toe on the left! It didn't look quite right! :(
He had been tormenting Kynsie and she was tormenting some back and to make a long story short....
He was running away from her and coming down the hallway when he ran into the door jam!
OUCH! I've stubbed my toe before, I think we all probably have and dang it hurts! However, as Steve told Dr. McKell over the phone, "His little toe is pointing northwest and it is actually pointing more west than north!" We ALL (even Tanner) had a good laugh with that statement! Dr. McKell being the kind man and doc he is told us to bring Tanner over to his home and he would take a look. (This is not the first time he has helped our family out in a pinch.) Upon arriving he looked at it and asked Tanner if he felt brave? OUCH...OUCH! Tanner gritted his teeth and Dr. McKell proceeded to put the toe back in place where it should be adding that he usually did this by numbing first! He wrapped the toe to keep it in place and told us he wanted us to bring Tanner into the office the next day for X-rays.
I can't really see it to well but Dr. McKell could and pointed out the break to both of us. Then gave Tanner the most beautiful shoe that he gets to wear for the next 4 weeks! :)
Thank goodness for medicine that helps us when we hurt and kind medical professionals that are willing to help us feel better.

"MUCH LAUGHING COMES BEFORE CRYING!"
Happy Friday All and enjoy your weekend!
