To The Four People Who Still Read This Blog

Because my other blog continues to grow in size and I would like to keep my personal life private, I have decided to make this blog private. I hate to do this because I know it makes it harder for you all to read it as it won't be updated on Google Reader, but I just don't really want to make my family life available for all of the readers of my other blog.

I will be making it private tomorrow, so please email me to get permission to view this blog. I still want all of my friends and family to be able to see the crazy antics that the kids (Hayden) are up to!

Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde

Hayden has really outgrown the terrible two's in many ways. She is growing up. She is helpful (sometimes, if she is in the right mood) and sweet (again, sometimes, if she is in the right mood. She can go from sweet to not so much in about 0 seconds flat!

Here she is reading to me, watch out when Hallie messes with her though. The video is kind of long. If you are not a member of my family, I totally understand if you only watch the first part. Enjoy!

For The Aunties

So, I know this is way late, but my sister Katie will kill me if I don't put these pictures up. Halloween was really great this year. Most of the children loved it and we have way more candy then I know what to do with. We had about 15 trick-or-treaters. We usually get about 150 15 year old kids who are bussed into the neighborhood, not wearing a costume and do not say trick-or-treat. So, we didn't even give away all of the candy that the kids don't really like, let alone all of the candy that I bought.

Hallie was a princess. She did not enjoy the trick-or-treating at all. She just wanted to stay home and hand out the candy. She is a girl after my own heart. She just wants to be all grown up and at the ripe old age of 7 1/2, she really is much too mature for such silliness.


As you can see, she is still really into the posing.

Avery is also still very into the posing.

Avery was a pirate and she was a little trooper. She insisted on wearing her church shoes, but she never once complained that her feet hurt. She is already a big believer in beauty over pain.

Hayden was an adorable little witch, although you are just going to have to take my word for it. Unfortunately, when we went to take pictures pre tric-or-treating, the batteries of our camera were dead. By the time we were finally taking these pictures, she was not interested in doing anything except eating her candy.


Jaxton was the cutest little dinosaur ever! I bought his costume last year at an after Halloween clearance sale and I was so excited it still fit.


He definately knows what candy is and he LOVES it!
