GOTTA LOVE HALLOWEEN

Batman has to sleep sometime right!
I love my Zaders!
Umm yeah hes adorable I know :)
This is me after I got 7 cavaties filled owwwww!
Jesse thought this was appropriate for Halloween seeing as how I look dead and all!
HALLOWEEN

Oh we all know this word brings to mind several things..... costumes, pumpkins, trick or treaters, candy, classroom parties and parades!.... oh the joys!!!

It has been SO fun to hear landon talk about his party at school and to see the boys get REALLY excited for Halloween! When Kyran and I were having a special time ( Jesse will be home studying with the kids doing something to keep em busy while I take one of the kids to have one on one time... Jesse does this but in mass kids since he doesnt have as much time.... anyways...) so we were in Fred Meyer and Kyran saw his batman outfit turned to me and said HEY MOOOOM! I KNOW WHAT I WANNA BEEEE!!!! ..... BATMAN WAHOOOOO oh it was adorable so we got his costume and he has worn it for the past week never tiring of it! So tonight for Family Home Evening Jesse studied extra hard all day and in the early morning so he could participate for awhile longer then usual and we carved pumpkins... but we didnt just CARVE them oh no no.... Jesse broke out the electric saw and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ed through my kitchen carvin pumpkins left and right it went MUCH faster this way and i personally think this was a GENIUS idea.

So Zade we werent sure what he was gonna be until.... well I was giving him a bath and his hair when not curled is past his shoulders he looks like a lil girl so I put it in a ponytail for Jesse to see (and maybe inspire a haircut) and he said he would be a PERFECT pirate .... so we are waiting till after halloween to cut the kids hair...

we are all doing FABULOUS though we are happy and semi healthy (allergies are KILLER here!) I was asked to participate in a church play the ten virgins.... and if your wondering yes I am one of the foolish ones LOL I am Ashira if you are familiar with the play or the book ( It is an AMAZING CD and I would reccommend it for church music to ANYONE its just gorgeous!) I am excited they are getting a pottery sculptor to make each one of us our own custom lamp that we get to keep I am sure it will be a treasured and dear memory of our Oregon ward and really the whole experience.... It really hit home when I read through the play it is about 10 virgins who are all very good women the one I will be portraying is the overworked mother (ha ha right) and the woman who casted me didnt even KNOW me when or my situation when she cast me anyways I am alwasy saying I will do it TOMARROW I will get to him TOMARROW (him being Christ) and you know I have definately found myself doing that somedays when I am just to tired to read my scriptures or do those sorts of things it makes me realize anyone of us could easily fall into that good but not quite good enough cateogory.....

So on another HIGH note I am down 30 pounds WAHOOOOOOOOO and Jesse has lost around 15 pounds!!!!!! we I cant believe we have come so far. It feels sooo great to be healthy and eating right and I excercise everyday I havent been this size or this small since before Kyran and I am just stoked bad news is I left all my skinny jeans in Idaho... gotta invest in a good belt till I get there I guess.... anyways Im telling you sparkspeople.com is AWESOME sooo excited.... well all for now here hope all families are doing well and having as much fun as we are this halloween season!!!!
