Happy Halloween

I liked all of these pictures for different reasons, so I included them all. :)

Jenna was a mad scientist, Will was a cheetah, and Adam was a pirate. We went to the stake trunk-or-treat and then Joel took the kids around the neighborhood. They came home with a ridiculous amount of candy. They filled a gallon sized ziplock bag... each. The sugar rushes will be coming for many many days. :) 

Comparison

Here are all four of our kids around the age of four months. What do you think?

Four Months

How is this girl already four months old?

Pictures

Jenna and Will have their school pictures back, and I took some pictures of Adam and Audrey for the wall...

Eight is Great!

William is EIGHT! I can hardly believe it. For his birthday I made chocolate chocolate chip cupcakes with marshmallow frosting, and Will wanted M&Ms and sprinkles on top. They turned out pretty cute, I thought. 

We had spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner at his request, and then after dinner he opened presents. He got a card from Grandma Flash and Grandma K, a pocketknife from Dad, and scriptures with his name on them. When he opened his scripture bag he was kind of turning it over and over like he couldn't tell what it was. I asked him if he knew what it was and after a pause he replied, "A purse?" He seemed pretty confused that we would get him something like that. When we told him it was a scripture bag for his new quad he was much happier.

Everyone enjoyed the cupcakes. After that Will picked a movie to watch and they even got to stay up past their bedtime because they didn't have school the next day. At the end of the day I asked him if he had a good birthday, and he said that it was one of the best days of his life! :) He's such a funny kid.

His baptism is on the third of November and we are so excited for that. I can't believe he's already to this huge milestone.

More Randomness

Here are some more random pictures. 

Audrey doesn't really like to sit in her Bumbo. But every now and again she'll sit in it happily for awhile.

Adam has been all about holding Audrey lately. I think he likes it more than she does.

She's a strong girl and can hold up her head and upper torso pretty well.

Jenna snapped a picture of the sunrise one morning before school. She was disappointed that the picture didn't look as pretty as real life.

Some more holding.

 Can you read what it says? "Welcome to CRHD (Castle Rock Hospital District) Joel Robertson PA". Fun!

The dear are not at all unusual around here, but I still get a kick out of seeing them. I really felt like this one was staring me down this morning. It was just chillin' right outside our back door.
