Halloween 2011


 2011 Halloween brought us Miss America, A Knight, a Princess and a Maid.
 A cowboy joined us to celebrate at the Kennedy Spookfest.  Macy only lasted part way through but the rest of the kids had a great time.
 I always dread pumpkin carving time but this year it went a little smoother.  The kids can mostly do it on their own-- with or without clothes.
 Trick or Treating was a lot of fun.  Macy thought it was really great that people kept putting chocolate in her bucket.

We were the first and probably one of the only trick-or-treaters at this house.  Boo Grandpa!

Brigham Ricks is Six

Brigham turned six on 10-23 and since it fell on a Sunday and we had family in town for Logan's wedding, we made a weekend of it.
 He got this bullet bike a few weeks before his bday so he would get a chance to ride it before it got too cold and snowy outside.  He has a lot of fun cruising around on that little thing...so does Scott.
 We were lucky enough to have family in town so on Saturday we got everyone together and headed off to a straw maze.  Brigham, Brock, Noah and Macy got separated from us for nearly an hour.  I was really happy to finally meet up with them again and know that Noah had Macy...that had me nervous for awhile there!
 Brigham picked this cake since I did not have time to bake one up myself. 
 Brock, Brigham, Haylee and Zack playing the Lego game he got from Grandma and Grandpa McGarry
We built lots of Legos on Sunday together and had a lot of fun playing with his new toys.  Thank you to everyone who made this birthday special for him.  :)
