Happy Halloween

Keira wanted to be a princess (of course) for Halloween until she found a pink dress Bat Girl costume that came with a cape! She was so excited to wear her new silver glitter boots with it! She also wanted her hair straightened and make up! She looked adorable!

Tyler went as General Grievous from Star Wars! He kept his helmet on for most of the night but ditched the double light sabers when the candy bag got heavy!

 As always, Daddy dressed up too! This year I found a Captain America shirt at Target!

 



How every night ends...The boys drop of sister because she is tired of walking and they head out for another hour or so! She actually really enjoys handing out candy with me!

Trip up North

We decided to get out of town for a couple of days and head up to Sedona, Jerome and Prescott! It really felt like fall and Keira got her wish of seeing the leaves changing colors.

 

 Trout farm in Sedona. Ty and Keira both caught a fish which we kept and mommy had for dinner!!

 The haunted hotel in Jerome

Luckily we were able to stop by GG's house (Great Grandma Cottrill) for a visit. 

Super Shark Keira

Chaparral started a new awards program this year called Super Shark. Two students from each class per quarter are chosen by his/her teacher based on the student's academic success, good decision making and admirable character.

 

Keira was awarded Super Shark for 1st quarter!

Visit from Grandma Heather & Quinn

Giving Brooke & David some alone time with new baby Tosh, Grandma Heather & Quinn flew to AZ for a visit! The kids had such a great time playing together! They are all getting so big!
