Yabba-Dabba-Do!

This past week was pretty exciting for our family. Travis and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on the same day our new little niece was born. We'll always remember her birthday! On Wednesday, October 21st, Alexia Rose was born in Vancouver, Wa. Travis' sister, Nicki, and her husband, Lance, have two little girls now!

We had fun tending Brynlee for a few days while her parents were still at the hospital. Justin and Tyler had so much fun playing with their little cousin. We took her to the hospital to go meet her new little sister on Thursday. Because of the new hospital rules, our boys weren't invited to visit. So, I stayed out in the car with the boys while Travis took Brynlee in to the hospital. As they were walking away, Tyler sighed and told me, "I miss Brynlee, Mom!" Luckily we live close enough to see them again soon...



On Friday night, the boys went to the school's Fall Festival and then Travis and I went to a great Halloween party. Travis and I were dressed up as Fred and Wilma Flintstone. This picture cracks me up because I think we look more like Barney and Betty dressed up as Fred and Wilma. Oh well! We had a fabulous time partying the night away!



I just had to take a picture of our appetizer because it looked so fun: Meet Mr. Bones and his brains!



Our friends threw an amazing party! Their whole main floor was re-decorated for Halloween. Amazing! They planned/built some impressive activities including: a life-sized operation game, a custom-made Halloween Wii game, and a candy x-ray challenge. It was fun to laugh with friends and enjoy a night out!



Now I'm getting excited to help with Justin's class party at school this week and get the boys ready for Halloween night!

What a fun Halloween party! I love your costumes, although I agree that you two look more like a Barney and Betty Rubble. Travis just needs to put on another 50 lbs or so to be a Fred!

He just LOST 40 lbs. over this past year. LOL! I'm know he's motivated not to gain it back for a costume. Funny! But beggers can't be choosers...we borrowed the costumes last minute. Are you guys dressing up this year? Along with your cute little Mr. Pumpkin? You could be farmers...growing your cute pumpkin!

It was good to see you guys at the party. Nice job on the appetizer and I failed to see the Wii game. I'll have to go ask our hosts about that! Thanks for the tip on my current ailment!

That veggie tray is awesome...I'll have to remember that idea! I'm sure it would be a great way to get the kids to eat healthy too!
Your costumes are adorable - we're the worst about dressing up. I need to get more creative!

While I was putting the veggie tray together, Tyler begged and begged for a "little" skeleton. So, I made a small version to leave with the boys and the babysitter. I set it out on the table and we left. My kids NEVER beg for vegetables as a bedtime snack. Much to my surprise, when we got home, that little skeleton just had a couple of fingers and a thigh bone left. Good boys! :)
