After the costumes and dinner

After we dressed up in costumes, eat a spooky dinner, and played Green Witch outside, the kids put on a show for us. It was lots of fun seeing Taylor, Cameron, Mason, and Jozie put on a different outfit and then act out a play. Sometimes they were memorized poetry and sometime we told the story while they acted it out. I LOVED LOVED seeing my boys get love and encouragement from loving uncles, aunts, cousins, grandmas, and grandpas.

If you can't tell this is a picture of Cameron, Jozie and Mason

Emmett loved these white angle wings and would flap is arms and run
around acting like he was flying. He is having Melissa talk on his phone. He loves his phone so much he often shares it with others.

Mason started the whole show and got everyone else into it. Mason is and has always been the funniest entertainer. He has never been bashful.
The man holding up Jozie is Don Miskin. We all love having him in our lives now. He just recently moved to Utah from California. "we love you, uncle Don"

Happy Halloween 2011

This is a picture of Grandpa B (Mike) with a arrow on his head. He didn't come with a costume so we spray painted the Air Bender Avitar arrow on him. It was rocking awesome.
Melissa came as a army chick. With a "real knife and everything", says my boys.
Here we have Joshua eating a jello worm. They looked really gross. Jessica made them for the spooky dinner and were the best and grossest things there.

Halloween Night was a hug success. We didn't even need coats. Emmett got his first taste of a pixy stick and got so hipper he started belly flopping on the floor. From a standing position.

Five Children

Emmett came down stairs all exited to tell me, "egg, mess" . He said it about 5 times before I realized what he was saying. On Facebook I have been posting things that have been happening now that I have 5 children. The first one was, a night I gave the wrong kid cough medicine and didn't realize it until the next day. Here are pictures of the other two examples of what happens when you have 5 children.

Fun at Uncle Don's house







After spending the night at Don's house we went to the local Pumpkin Walk. It was great and we are totally doing it again next year.

OLIVIA

Stephanie and Rachel have been requesting more pictures of Olivia. BUT I am not a great photographer like my brother and so every picture I take Olivia looks the same. BUT I'll try. I thought maybe if I changed her outfits a few times that would help. I also like the pictures that are not posed, they seem to show more emotions and are meaning full. I think they tell a bigger story. So here are the pictures and the people in Olivia life this weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAMERON AND TAYLOR

"Heavy heavy hang over thy poor head, what do you wish this donor?"

"Happy Birthday Taylor"

"Happy Birthday Cameron"

Cameron loves that we live in the country where there are a lot of cowboys and one of his good friends is a girl in his class named Syndey. We are good friends with her whole family. The oldest kid is Isaac and very good on a horse because he helps his dad on the ranch. So for Cameron's birthday I asked Isaac to teach Cameron and Taylor how to ride a horse. They road for hours and hours and had THE TIME OF THEIR LIFE. "Thanks Isaac and the Hopkin family"

Taylor's Football

Aaron was able to schedule all the games and help coach Taylor's football team. Taylor played center and guard and tackle. His number is 89 which was Aaron's, Uncle Eric, Uncle, Ryan, and Uncle Ethan's number.

Soccer Fun

Cameron and Mason are both playing soccer this year. Here are some cute shots of them. I love to watch them play. They are both good at what ever sport they are playing and they both love to be outside active. Cameron has really got the ability to run hard the whole game and gets mad at his team mates that don't run and play hard. Mason just loves to be a part of something and gets exited for who ever is kicking the ball. I'm going to enjoy every game what ever sport they play. AND I think I'll have lots of bleacher time since I have 5 children now.

Olivia Grace Hull

We are so exited to introduce our newest member of the family ...Olivia Grace Hull
