Halloweeeen Festivities!

For Halloween this year Kev and I had a hard time deciding what to dress up as. We didn't want to go out a buy a costume so we just looked around to see what we already had and we decided to go as Army Dudes since Kev's brother is in the Air Force he has sent Kev quite a few things so we had enought stuff we could dress up and it turned out great! Ever since "How to train your Dragon" came out Ethan has been obsessed with dragons so of course he had to be a dragon for Halloween. Kev's mom found a way cute Fairy Princess outfit at Old Navy so that is what kiley was. This year was very cold and rainy though it was hard to keep her warm but she just did a couple houses anyway. We went out to my Brother in law Dave's house and did our Trick or Treating out there with his kids and Ness and James came with us too They were Raggedy Ann and Andy, I think next year we will definatly be borrowing their outfits lol too cute! So since halloween really was on Sunday but everyone here celebrated it on Saturday, Sunday Kev and I decided to throw a fun little Halloween party, We served Taco Soup and Cheese Brocolli Soup (mmm My favorite) My mom made these Awesome finger breadsticks, there were sooo delicious and Amanda made some very yummy rotten apple cider drink and Nessa brought some dirt cakes with worms in them! I turned out to be so fun! We did some apple bobbing the kids (and big kids ;) ) loved it! Thanks for all you came and helped and had a great time! It was kind of a spur of the moment thing but it turned out great!Here we all are trick or treating in the freazing cold!

Nessa and James! They look so cute!!

Kiley and Ethan with our cute niece Bailey. She loves to help Ethan and Kiley!

My Beautiful Wife - (Kev's input on our blog)

I can't imagine my life without my beautiful wife, son and daughter! Erika is a loving, patient, and exceptional wife. she is a kind and wise mother! I am so blessed to have her! we held hands for the first time as we walked around bountiful park! she faked a neck pain while laying on my lap and kissed me for the first time! I worried for it seemed like forever about that kiss, I worried that I wasn't very good at it! she thought I was cute though and it worked out to my advantage! Erika and I had known each other for quite some time. She would come and do things with my friends and I. We were at the bountiful park for a young single adult activity and we were playing a game that included quite a bit of running and a heavier girl went down and was haveing trouble breathing. so I went and helped her. to make a long story short I think the girl was faking it cause when I mentioned ambulance all of her simptoms seemed to go away! Erike thought it was cute of me to hold her hand and tell her everything was going to be alright! I think I blew that a little later though when I threw a cooler full of ice water on her during a water fight! I knew she was meant for me after she made it past two weeks of me! She is wonderful! she makes me laugh and I am so happy to see her when I come home! Erika has so many qualities, she is patient, loving, tender, faithful, family oriented, always striving to do better, I cannot say enough about her! I hope she always knows of my love for her, my devotion to her, and my cherishing of her!
