Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year! Caleb was going to be Bam Bam, but when my sewing machine broke right as I started the costume we ended up running to Walmart and getting this cool Fireman costume. I was sad about the kids not being "matchy matchy" but Caleb really liked his fireman costume!Hallie was an adorable little Pebbles!

They had tons of fun trick or treating. Both kids can say trick or treat and thought people putting candy in their buckets was just grand!

Hallie trying to get into her candy...she has now learned how to open just about any candy with her teeth.....dang it.

Caleb had fun driving his Fire Truck around the neighborhood!

Caleb thought it was pretty funny thatHallie has a bone in her hair.

We had tons of fun!

Our Baby is ONE!

We can hardly believe Hallie is one already! It seems like we just had her a few days ago! She is turing in to an amazing little girl and we love her to pieces! We has just a small little party at home with her on her birthday and will have the big bash this coming weekend when we have family here to celebrate with us!Hallie LOVES her new baby doll!

It's so sweet to watch her play with it b/c you can tell she is mimicking us by patting its back and cuddling it.

Daddy picked out the perfect gift for his little girl!

Giving it lots of kisses!

Yes...we didn't wrap it...she would have had no clue! She could hardly figure out how to get it out of the packaging! Caleb eventually helped her! :)

Our beautiful little girl!

In other exciting news...Hallie started walking just a few days before her birthday! We are so happy she has reached this milestone and she is loving the new mobility! We will try to get a video up soon!

Tutu fun

I made a tutu for Hallie to take some one year old pictures of her. These aren't the pictures I want for her official one year old pictures, but I thought it would be fun to take a few right after I finished it.

Hallie does NOT nap...

Seriously I don't know how this little girl lives on such small amounts of sleep! Today we had a break through though! I nursed her to sleep, and put her in Caleb's bed instead of ours or the pack and play. She has now slept for over an hour!! I know it may be pathetic, but this NEVER has happened before! I wonder if there is something about the "baby mattress" that is super comfortable for her?? Hopefully this will transition over to her crib when she has that again next week! She even moved around quite a bit and I didn't hear any crying!

** UPDATE! ** She slept for an hour and 45 mins and woke up so happy talking jibberish!! I'm so proud of her!

Spaghetti and Coloring

Hallie really likes spaghetti! She even likes to use it as a hair product. (check out those cute little front teeth peeking through)

Then she tries to use it as eye makeup and realizes that tomato sauce in the eyes isn't so much fun! On a side note... I hate spaghetti night b/c it's oh so much fun to clean up!

Caleb loves coloring lately,

AND he lets Hallie color with him...in fact they are coloring again together as I type this...so cute! Thank you Tom and Sudene for the Magic markers that only color on special paper...I'm pretty sure they have saved MANY cleanups!

How the house looks this week!

The front with the shutters on and the van in the driveway :)..haha like my pose?

I love this picture of Caleb! He told Nathan "Take a picture of me in dirt dada!" I think it's way cute! He's holding the key they lend out to go look at your house...

Us hanging out in the kitchen...it is like a 2 or 3 butt kitchen... :)

Half bath just off the kitchen area

View from the master bedroom...again.

Master bathroom counter

It's getting closer! YAY!

There's no place like home!

Here are some pictures of the house that we are purchasing. The builder is finishing up the last few things as you will see from the pictures and then we will be able to close in a few weeks! We are super excited to have our own place and to start building our own home of wonderful memories!

The outside- There are now shutters around all the windows, the garage door in in and painted, and the front door has been painted to match the shutters (which are a dark blackish color...we think...haha)View from the family room into the kitchen.

Standing in the front room looking into family room/dining area. A wall is being put up between the family and front room with a arched pass through.

Top of the stairs, to the far right master bedroom, then the two kids rooms.

Straight ahead at the top of the stairs is the laundry room. To the left is the kids bathroom, and then across from the kids bathroom is the spare/guest bedroom. (Come see us and we have a place for you to sleep in your own room! YAY!)

Master bathroom...it's HUGE! To the right is our walk in closet and then the "throne room".

View from the master bedroom. In real life you can see the Bountiful temple right between those houses.

One of the kids walk in closets. This one is a little smaller than the other one.

The kids bathroom, well kinda... some reason I didn't take any photos of anything other than the cabinets.

Straight back is the garage door, left 1/2 bath, and right under stairs pantry.
