spiderman spiderman

So I didn't do so well at getting picture of my kids in there costumes so here is

Ethan and his buddy Easton on Halloween day. They were playing together and decided they needed to play spiderman. They both spent most of the day in their costumes being spidermen.

Ethan had not decided what he was going to dress up as until they were playing that day because I had several things he could have been. Kyra was a cute little pumpkin sorry I didn't get her picture taken. We had a good Halloween night. our ward had pot luck soup and chili then followed by the trunk or treat.

sunday picnic at the temple

It was stake conference Sunday and so when we got out Ethan said can we go some where? So we asked where he wanted to go of course it was to grandma and grandpa's but that's to far. David wanted lunch so we decided to go home fix up a picnic and take it and eat it near the temple . so that is what we did. I turned out to be a great Sunday activity that we all enjoyed. first we ate lunch and played in the grass for a bit . Then we went for a walk around the temple grounds and then to the visitors center. when we where done there Ethan really wanted to go to a park to play so we decided to do that also.

I wish this picture turned out a little better but it still shows the interest Ethan had in the Christus. Ethan walked right up to it and touched it's hand and body . it was fun to see children's reaction. a statue of Christ that size is something special to behold. The spirit is always so strong when you are in places like the visitors center.

Kyra was very intrigued with the Christus she wanted to touch it. she ooh and aah at it, she seemed like she really knew who he was and wanted him. It is amazing to think how much those little ones must remember from the other side of the veil. I Know that was always one of my favorite things to witness working at the visitors center in New York was the children's reaction as they walked in and saw the Christus. You could see it in their eye that they had a special connection with Christ.

Ethan and Kyra peaking threw the playground bars. "SAY CHEESE"

Kyra at the top of the slide. She is not so sure about slides. I don't think she has found one she likes yet.

Ethan and a funny face at the park

Kyra new adventure

I was cooking dinner one night and of course Kyra always has to be at my feet or pulling everything out of the cupboards. this night was a little diff rent she was actually playing in the drawer that is OK for her to play in. it is just cookie cutter and little things like that. So I was cooking away not really paying attention to her because she was right there playing with the cookie cutters and I looked down and not only was she playing with them she was in the drawer with them. luckily the camera was right there so I could capture the moment. Then my only worry was that she might break the drawer.

Kyra 1st Birthday

Kyra checking out her birthday cake. She was not sure what to think of it. Aunt julie and janel helped her blow out her candle. she just sat and tried to figure out what was going on and why everyone was singing and looking at her. we even tried to give her a second chance to blow out the candle and she just was not interested.

I am loving this cake Grandma, thanks for making it just for me!

hurray it my party and I will throw cake if I want to!

I think I am about done with my cake!

This is my funny face. I like to pull this face when I know i am doing something I am not supposed to do or that I think is really funny. sometime it is just to get every ones attention.
I think she got a much cake in her hair as she did in her mouth. she loves to put food in the little bit of hair that she has.
