Baking Besties

Kaity loves to bake and she loves Kenzlee so when she has the 2 together it's pretty dang awesome. They were very sweet to let Addie help too. ♥

We are SO happy they moved back to Utah. All is right again.  

Silly String War

Remember silly string? Its a blast. Here's the proof.  Markham and the kids played with it in the backyard on Saturday and laughed it up.

"I can't like that..."

Sleeping Beauty looking so peaceful. She sure keeps me busy. She's got some serious iron will, that will no doubt help her in life but difficult for her mom to harness. 

Her newest phrase is "I can't like that." This can be anything I fix her for breakfast, lunch or dinner to clothes she doesn't fancy, etc. She is very particular and when I don't have the will to match hers, she ends up having cheerios for every meal and sports some interesting outfits. 

She is a cutie though and a lot of fun. She loves her "brudder" and follows him around everywhere. She always wants him to hold her hand while she goes down the stairs.  When he gets frustrated with all of it I remind him that is how he was with Kaitlyn. It buys a little more patience. He is very good to her. 

Quick facts:

* She still loves anything Frozen

* Napping in her bed doesn't really happen anymore so if she falls asleep somewhere that is where she stays, case in the point, the couch.

* Loves eating "treats" and asks for them ALL DAY long 

* Sleeps pretty good most nights but when she wakes up and a cuddle doesn't work she ends up between Markham and I. 

* Loves doing things herself

* Has very strong lungs and isn't afraid to use them. yikes

* Said lungs put her in timeout often. I say "no one wants to hear you scream" at least 5x day

says "What's going on?" and "I love you" a lot 

* Totally dang adorable dimples still melts every one's hearts.

The decor

Waiting for our guests to arrive

The Mad Hatter and the Queen struck up a love connection. Who saw that coming?

 

Those in attendance:

Spider man, an adorable black cat, (Mad Hatter kept thinking she was the Cheshire) and of course Princess Anna

The Tin Man and Dorothy showed up after Dorothy clicked her ruby red slippers. What a way to travel! She even brought Todo!

Iron man flew in with his newest love affair of late, a very pretty witch. No green skin or warts to be seen! Not sure what happened to Pepper Potts. Perhaps a spell? 

Princess Anna was so excited to have her sister come from Arendelle.

We had a dinosaur trainer as well. It is rumored his name is Hiccup, the boy who tamed Toothless.

Dr Alan Grant and Dr Ellie Sattler came with a demonic dinosaur!! Yikes!! Hey guys let's keep those dinosaurs in the Park ok?  We don't want a Jurassic World situation on our hands. 

Group picture! We were getting quite the looks from people driving by. Ha!

We all had a lot of fun celebrating one of my favorite holidays. Everyone was such good sports to come in costume. Although it was required or Off with their heads!! 

 Answering the door to trick or treaters. Princess Anna loved this part.She was so generous. 

Jolly Dorothy

 Yummy Krispy Kreme donuts with vampire teeth!

 The Mad Hatter was acting... you guessed it...Mad.

 We played a few games

We played with cousins

We laughed

 The men chatted about weapons and such. Tony Stark is always talking weapons.

 "Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't didn't already have."

 We colored pictures from Alice in Wonderland

 We laughed some more. Dorothy was really having a great time with the wicked witch? Seems odd. Maybe what happens in Oz stays in Oz.

 Tony Stark again trying to tell the Hatter more cool things his suit can do. 

 We ate soup

Very yummy. Thanks Mom

 We went trick-or -treating and came back and counted all our pieces. 

We compared notes

We played Bingo

We ate lots of candy

We gave out awards for the "How Many" jars of candy.

The Cat and Tony Stark tied for the tootsie rolls. He conceded.

The Tin Man won the tootsie pops

The Dinosaur won the sour worms. He seems quite tame in this shot. Thank goodness we had the dinosaur trainer there. 

Dr Ellie Sattler was the closest on the m&m's. (It was way more than 66 Dylan)!

These 2 cuties had a totally mad time playing twister, It was pretty entertaining to watch.

The Queen of Hearts can be quite motherly when she wants. 

The 2 princesses has such a great time. Giggling and laughing and running around together all night long.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate candied apples for the best costumes

It was so totally fun and I'm sad it's over, Already thinking about my costume for next year, Ha!
