Rick and Taryn's Wedding Nov 2nd, 2013

 Well- we have now added a new member to our family.  Welcome Rick to our crazy family!  Their wedding was beautiful.  The weather turned out great for this time of year.  Dad walked Taryn down the isle.  I don't think that there was one dry eye.  It was very tender.

 This is all the of the nieces and nephews that were able to attend.  They enjoyed it especially because of all the leaves.  Can you believe I was able to get a picture of Ryker smiling in a group picture.  CRAZY!

 We have added another boy to the family.  Sorry Rick, the boys are a little out numbered.

 I thought this was a good picture if these siblings.

 Taryn was so sweet with dad.

 Taryn had purchased umbrellas for the wedding just in case it was raining.  She got a few pictures with all of us holding them.  I hope that they turn out for them.

 The leaves were just gorgeous.  Taryn and Rick both looked amazing.

 Dad needed to take a little rest.  Lori and Grandma just got done taking a picture with him.

We had lunch at the spaghetti factory.  They cut their cake there.  But we were all so full that we couldn't eat it until later.  I don't really like cake but it was a yummy cake.

Taryn didn't want to get married until she  got Cherylyn and Tanner on face time.  It took some work because the wireless internet wasn't working.  Heath fixed it and then the wedding could begin.  Stephanie was able to prop the ipads up on the deck so they could see it.  So- we were all there.  The open house went well.  The kids all were down stairs watching  The Croods.  Brianna was the only one who had seen it so that worked out well.

Halloween 2013

 We had another great halloween.  The kids dressed up and we all enjoyed spending time together.
Reese was the cutest  snow princess of the year.  Don't you think so?

 Paige was a ninja and enjoyed the no fuss costume.  Paige got to dress up at the end of school and had a little party.  That was the first time in school she had gotten to do that so she was thrilled about that.

 Lauren was a Go-go  girl.   She didn't get to do anything at school and was bummed about that but her lunch helped lift her spirit.  For part of her costume we put glitter on her face which she really enjoyed.

 Brianna was Hermone from Harry Potter.  She read the whole series this summer in 2 1/2 months.  Bri really enjoyed them.   One thing that she will remember was at the middle school she was voted for the best character (costume) and received 6 crunch bars (one of her favorite).  That was really exciting for her.

 Ryker was batman.  He doesn't have half of his costume on in this picture but he does have Mr. Bear.  :)

 Brianna invited her friend to come and trick or treat at her dad's work with us this year.  She stayed and enjoyed some taco soup and then we all headed over to our wards trunk or treat.

 I think that my mantel turned out pretty good this year.  The picture didn't really do it justice though.

 We decorated the trunk of our van for the trunk or treat.  It was fun to let people see our pumpkins.  We don't  usually have very many trick or treaters.

 Here are our pumpkins.  I'll list them from left to right.  Lauren had the snoopy on his dog house, Paige had the cat in the moon light, Ryker had the bat with his letter R,  Shane had the scary face, Brianna had the throwing up pumpkin with a mustache,  I had the snoopy and charlie brown in the moon light, and Reese had the surprised pumpkin.

I also made the kids some fun lunches that I will post soon.  I hope that you all had a enjoyable halloween and look forward to hearing about them.
