Halloween, 2010

We love Halloween! This year the weather was decent, but a little cool. People with sharp eyes will notice that Cami is wearing a different "kitty" costume than the one she wore to school. This one was handmade by Mommy. It's made of some thick material that kept Cami warm without her having to wear a coat.

Mommy didn't get Ian's costume done in time so he wore a costume that we bought him (the same one he wore to school). His was made of very thin material so he got cold pretty quickly, hence the coat he is wearing.

The kids got lots of candy this year, which made Daddy happy. He likes to eat most of the candy so he's happy when there is a lot to choose from.

Some friends of ours from our ward came and went "trick or treating" with us. They live in an apartment so they come to our neighborhood. It works out well because their daughter is in Ian's class at church and their son is in Cami's class at church.

Pumpkins, 2010

This year, the kids carved their own pumpkins with minimal help from us. I have a bunch of pictures of the kids carving their pumpkins, but because of the mess, they did it while just wearing their underwear. So, I'm not putting those pictures up.

I think they did a pretty good job. Ian's was a spider and Cami's was the cat. In another post you'll see the pumpkins out on our front door stoop.

Costume Day at School, 2010

It's Costume Day at school today! Cami was excited, but Ian wasn't. I'm not sure why. Perhaps he's sick. He's good looking nonetheless. Cami really loved her "kitty" costume, as you can tell by her pose.

Ian Earns His Wolf Badge

After a year's hard work Ian has finally earned his Wolf badge. I think Daddy should get one too, seeing as how he was the driving force behind getting the things done. We're very happy for him that he stuck with it and got it done. Now, he's on to earning his Bear badge.

Ian's 9th Birthday

Is it possible that Ian is 9 years old? I don't know how time has gome by so quickly.

He loves pumpkin pie, so instead of a birthday cake he got a birthday pie. This is a little family gathering that we had for him. His kid party will be later, once we decide what it is we're doing. A movie perhaps, or maybe lasertag? Hmmm.....it all sounds so expensive.

Fashionista

Cami definitely has a style of her own. Today for school she chose this stylish outfit. I especially like the pink tiger-striped leggings, or tights, or whatever they are. The pink flower in her hair and the pink sunglasses are a nice touch, too.

The Kids Are Growing Up

The other day I took the kids to the playground before church. They both decided that they wanted to get into the kiddie swings. What an eye opening experience for all of us. Cami sort of fit but Ian was really cramped in their.

Daddy was nearly in tears realizing that his babies are no longer babies. It is very sad, but fun at the same time. Everyone laughed at how silly they looked.

Crazy Hair Day, 2010

Well, I think Mommy did a great job this year making the kids' hair crazy. Cami's was blue and red and seriously teased up into a mass of hair up on top. It sort of looked like a fountain.

Ian's hair is short so Mommy just colored red, white, and blue, but she was able to use gel to get it spikey on top.
