Halloween 2011

Here's a look at our Halloween. Brandon dressed as "Jaba the Hut" for work, Easton had a party at preschool, Chance was in the school parade, we had chili at Margo's, the teens went to the Whites for a bonfire, Addie was all over the place...didn't even get a picture of her in her costume, we dropped by another party in the circle by our house, then Brandon took the boys on Erskine's annual hay ride to trick-or-treat while I answered the door and took down the decorations!
At the end of the night, Jason chased me all over the neighborhood with a chainsaw! I heard him coming so I locked my front door so quick...before I knew it, he had come in the back door and was trying to kill me in my own house. Holy freak, nobody hates a chainsaw as much as me! Uhhhhhhhh

MY MILITARY BOYS

Mark Harris AKA...Uncle Eddy! Need I say more?? ha ha ha

Adam Smith was an old lady. Don't worry that he's almost 7 feet tall and the biggest GUY in the neighborhood! He made a frightening old woman:)

Jordan, our next door neighbor...was Justin Beiber. Ohhhh my gosh!

Hannah and a few of her friends at the White's party.

Dumb dumb Jason...I always wanted a friend that loved Halloween as much as I did! NOW, I take it BACK! My house still smells like chainsaw gas:)

Here's a few of the last minute ScArY decorations that I put out on Halloween night! MY DARN DOG WOULD HAVE EATEN THEM IF I PUT THEM OUT ANY EARLIER.

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A HAPPY AND SAFE HALLOWEEN TOO!

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
