Becky's family visits

Last week, my sister, Becky and her family came to Las Vegas. Andy had a dental conference and the rest of the family decided to come along and visit with my family and Sam's family. It was a lot of fun seeing them for a couple days. Peyton and Kylie went wild with all the boys. I had some Relief Society stuff to do, so I wasn't able to visit with them the whole time, but I'm glad I got to see them for a bit. Here are a few pictures...

Josh and Kylie playing playdough...

Visiting the cactus gardens at the chocolate factory...

On the strip...

Getting ready to watch the water show. This time was the best time Chris and I have seen it. We finally figured out where to stand and watch it for the best show. Take note of Peyton zonked out in the corner still in his Superman outfit. He wouldn't let us get him out of it that whole day.

Wearing their costume jammies...

Thanks Becky and family for visiting. We had a great time with you. Come back anytime!!!

Halloween, Halloween, and Halloween

We had our trunk or treat the Saturday before Halloween. Then Kylie had a preschool party the Thursday before Halloween and Peyton was invited, too. That was super fun. They had all sorts of stations to do fun things...pumpkin playdough, cookie decorating, mummy wrapping, popcorn race, storytelling, treasure hunt, pumpkin toss, and more. It was lots of fun for them...and we discovered a real cool park while there. It is real huge and nice. So that was basically their Halloween.

Then on Halloween day we actually went up to St. George. Chris' little brother, Cody, is a senior in high school and his football team was playing at Dixie High for their state football playoffs. We got to see him play and see Chris' family again, but too bad they lost. Afterwards Kylie and Peyton went to a few houses to trick-or-treat. They thought it was great to wear their costumes basically all week long!

Here's just a bunch of pictures from our Halloween adventures.

Kylie was "Barbie" princess and Peyton was none else, but Superman!!!

Getting ready to carve pumpkins...

We let the kids pick out their pumpkins. Peyton didn't want a normal one, he wanted a "baby" one, so this is what they picked. Funny. It made us laugh. He got to color his, and Kylie got to carve hers.

Decorating and eating their cookies at the preschool party...

At the pumpkin toss...look at that follow through, already!

After the party we went to this park. They were so excited about the see-saw. They have never been on one before...

They were so excited about their vampire teeth that they got. They liked to hide in the closet to watch each others glow in the dark. I hated taking Peyton's teeth out because all this slobber would follow.

Barbie and Superman trick or treating. Everybody thought they were so cute they would give them handfuls of candy. We only went to about 10 houses, and ended up with about 50 pieces. Oh joy! Well...

And playing at the "beach" when in St. George...

We had a fun Halloween, although I am glad it is over. The kids sure enjoyed dressing up. And they will continue to dress in their costumes ALL year. Yeah! ha ha
