Truman's 4th Birthday

Our boy is 4! This kiddo gets crazier and funner every year! Never a dull moment for sure! 

Truman had been wanting to go to the zoo all year long so that's what we did for his birthday this year.

 The Stevens came too. It was loads of fun.

Grandpa Kirk and cousins

 More good times with the cousins.

On his actual birthday we made the customary sign and did cake and presents.

Hard core pirate right there. 

Iron Man!

 Woa!

Not my best decorating job ever, but he loved it.

All Hallows Eve

Stellar pumpkin carving skills, thank you very much. Kellan and I spent an afternoon doing these (we had time so why not?). The kids picked the designs they wanted and helped where they could. Kellan did the ninja turtle and batman all on his own, he's more skilled than I am. 

Pre-Trick or Treating

Truman loves all things ghost. They're spoooooky! This might be my all time favorite kid costume because its nothing more than one of my brothers old under shirts and some face paint. 

Miles the Lion

Libby and Sara both wanted to be pretty witches. We have a lot of princess dress ups so we just added cheap hats. Libby decorated hers. Sara did not. She's anti pink and anything the same as her sisters right now so she had to make it her own. 

Anne wanted to be Snow White and didn't see any problem with having red hair. I think it works.

Secretly hogging down their stash.

The Anne-Girl

Miss Anne is 9!

 Grandma Mai sent her this cute outfit. She loves it and calls it her ballerina outfit. Grandma Mai also sent her a rainbow loom which she has loved! And Grandma Evel gave her money that she spent on a new watch.

At school she got to be the VIP for the week and got the have a spot light on Friday. She took a poster with pictures of herself and got to answer the kids questions about her. She made sure to wear this outfit and she ate up the attention.  

 We had cake for her the weekend after up at my sisters house in Wellsville. She felt a bit under the weather but it was still fun. Also, for her present she requested to go miniature golfing, so Kellan took all the girls while we were there in Cache Valley. I meant to have him take the camera, but alas, I forgot. 

I know everyone says it, but I cannot believe how fast these kids of mine are growing! I really only get them for a few short years. Its actually kind of scary! Time just goes faster and faster with each year. Anne is such a great kid! She is a tough, resilient girl and I can see why Heavenly Father sent her to us first. She holds us all together and I don't know what we'd do without her!
