HAPPY HALLOWEEN

David in his Giraffe costume.

Last night we went to a halloween costume party at the clubhouse. It was so much fun, everyone brought a soup or a salad (I brought a pumpkin soup) and there were tons of treats and games. The best part was that everyone dressed up. We had pirates, Shrek's, Doctors, Batman and Robin, Monsters, A whoppi cushion, peacock, hippo, and many more

Mike had a great costume, he wore his dad's old suit, which was super tight and he had his big afro.

Tonight I think we are going to trick or treat around our neighborhood and then go down to Mike's Grandma's house in Idaho Falls. I love halloween and David learned how to say "trick or treat" I am trying to get him to nap right now, but I keep hear banging noises from upstairs, I think he is too excited to sleep.

Sadie and Mom

This is little Sadie last Sunday, after 3 different outfit changes. What a little cutie

Five years and the bug

Our first date, we went to 7 mile caves....
Mike and I in BanffFourth of July

Today is our five year anniversary. I can't believe how fast time flies. We have accomplished so much in that time, bought a townhouse, both graduated university, 2 kids, and so many fun memories. Mike is the most patient, kind, supportive and loving husband and dad. He works so hard for our family and takes such good care of us! I can't wait to see what the next five years holds for us.

On a lesser note, we have had a rough week, I woke up on Monday with the flu. Luckily a friend took David all morning and both Sadie and David had great naps that afternoon. Then Tuesday David woke up from his nap saying that his tummy had owies. 20 minutes later I was cleaning up throw up. Yuk. Luckily it was only a 24 hour bug, but I hope Mike and Sadie don't get it. I spent all day yesterday cleaning and disinfecting.

a cold day

Today is very cold, David and I went for a walk for about 5 minutes and then we had to come and warm up. Mike is fixing the washing machine this morning, (just what he wanted to do on his Saturday) and Sadie is napping. We don't have too much planned for today, we might go to the pool and sit in the hot tub later. We had a ward halloween gathering last night, now that we are on the activities committe we thought we'd better go. For a ward with 650 people in it, only about 40 went.

Party Time

Last night we celebrated David's 2nd Birthday. We had alot of good friends and family come to wish the little guy happy birthday. Thank you everyone for coming... Above is a picture of David and Grandpa filling up the pinyata.
David wasn't sure about the candle on the cake, I think the fire scared him... His friend Taylor had to help him blow out the candle

crazy snow

Yesterday the family arrived and this morning we woke up to a winter wonderland. It is not all that wonderful though, since the fam has to drive home on Monday, hopefully it will be gone by then. David is enjoying some Grandpa time and Sadie is getting alot of attention as well. Today the girls are going to go shopping and tomorrow we will be having a big turkey dinner to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving which is on Monday. Sadie continues to be the most relaxed and easy baby ever, David is getting so big and is really starting to talk alot now.
