what tha what tha.

it has been way too long. i cringe every time i think of all of the moments i may be forgetting about these insanely cute kids all because i am just too lazy to blog it. don't really know if i should try to back track all of it or just start fresh, dunno. either way, here goes nothin...

mia may

first of all, i haven't even announced the kick-off of the Mia Challenge 2012. Same thing, just a new year. just a few weeks left, so get ready to share!:)

next, halloween.

gotta love pumpkins. carving, painting, the smell of them lit up....mmm, 

or especially when lucy gets a hold of them....

she would go and gather all the little pumpkins from around the porch (good sized task for a wee one)

and line them up in a row.

we usually put them back around the porch (for the decor) just to find them back in a lucy row. 

or fancy design like this one....

i am so mad at myself for not taking a pic of every time it happened. easily half a dozen. 

 it was real fun to come out the front door to find a new 

(hard) work of art by the goose.

jake changed his mind about 14,000 times on what he wanted to be this year. that is, all the week of.

 at one point i had cut up some of my sheets because he was positive he just had to be a ghost. after much careful contiplating, he decided that for the ward party, he needed to be spiderman....

and lucy just had to be boo...

 for the day of, we went to slc to trick-or treat with the fam.

love trick-or-treating! these kids are sooo cute!!

i just can't help but gush over how cute it is to see little munchkins

toddling around from house to house and giggling over their loot...

pretty sure we stopped in between every other house so they could admire it.
