Halloween

This year since Halloween was on a Monday Jeremy was not able to go Trick or Treating with us. :(  He works his second job on Monday and Tuesdays.  He was so sad he couldn't be there.  We went to my mom's to go trick or treating.  When we first got there my dad was playing Christmas music!  I said dad is that Christmas music and he said yes it is.  I said I loved it.  He gave me a hug and said well thank you!  This year since we've been tight on money I was dreading Halloween because of doing costumes.  Sariah is so much more creative than me though.  She said she wanted to be Frankenstein and that she could wear her black pants and just get a shirt and some makeup.  I got a black shirt for $1 at Walmart.  Then I was so happy to see there was a kit just for Frankenstein makeup.  I had a witch costume but it was all black and Emily wouldn't wear it saying she wanted to be a good witch.  Thank goodness it had pink in it so it was considered good! :)  TJ was a Kangaroo.  I bought the costume at a yard sale and Emily wore it once when she was little.  He was soooo adorable I couldn't stand it!  We came home and I took them to a few houses in our neighborhood.  They had a lot of fun and got a lot of candy.

Baird Halloween Party

My mom always has a Halloween party for everyone.  We have dinner and carve our pumpkins.  She also always has fun little games to play.  I love my mom!

2nd Grade Halloween Program

Sariah had a Halloween program at school.  I cry every time!  She's getting so old!  She was Frankenstein.  They were singing the sond five little pumpkins and she was one of the little pumpkins.

UEA

Jeremy took UEA off so we could do something.  We didn't really have any money to do anything but Beth was in Texas with baby Bradley so Terry wanted to do something.  He was so great to us for UEA!  On Thursday he let Jeremy and I go on long overdue date.  We went to  Mi Rancheritos.  Then we walked around the mall and went to Burlington Factory and Barnes and Noble.  Before we had kids we always went window shopping together and enjoyed it.  With kids needless to say we don't do it anymore.  On Friday we headed down to the sand dunes.  On the way we stopped at the Family Tree Restaurant.  The girls had fun playing in the sand going for rides.  The night was kind of rough though.  Emily kept waking up and it was really cold.  I had the worst heartburn I have ever had all night long.  A couple days before all this fun I took TJ to the doctor and he had ear infections.  He always throws up when he gets them but thank goodness he only threw up once on the way home.  TJ was also really funny.  The girls would be playing in the sand but TJ would be over by the four wheelers and his dada and his grandpa!  I took some pictures while we were there.  Unfortunately my camera does not work very well anymore.  I will not be taking a camera to the sand dunes again!

TJ's First Birthday

TJ's birthday went well and I was so happy for all of the family that came.  I didn't know it until Jeremy told me but there was a BYU game that started at the same time.  I think all of the kids had a good time.  Beth helped me make little Halloween goodie bags.  Afterwards Jason and Josh and their families stayed to finish watching the BYU game.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.

Field Trip

Emily went on her first field trip to the Thanksgiving Farm.
