Blue, red and neigh

We have been talking to Izzy about her birthday that is coming up on Thursday and she is way excited. Even though I am sure she doesn't quite understand what it all means she still goes around talking about her birf day. She tells you she will be two while holding up all 5 fingers of course. It is really hard to put up only two fingers you know. Anyways we have been asking what she wants on her cake and her response is blue, red and neigh (meaning horses). In fact, today she was telling grandma about blue, red and neighs. She just forgot to mention the cake part. So there you go aren't you excited to see how it all turns out. Me too. Good luck with that one Mikey.

Isabel's halloween

I figured I had better get pictures from Halloween up on the blog. In fact, earlier this week Izzy was sitting on my lap as I was checking out my email and I decided to go to my blog and show her pictures that were posted. As we got to the bottom of the last entry (the picture of Court and I dressed up) she kept asking Izzy? Where Izzy? So I guess that was her way of telling me I left her off.


Here is my little Belle. She absolutely loved the crown. In fact that is how I got her to sit still so I could curl a few of her locks. I just told her that she had to sit still so I could get her crown to stay on her hair.

The dress of course is a Mikey original. I keep telling myself that I should really just sit down, get to know my sewing machine, and sew something really cute for my daughter. But want is the use Izzy has Uncle Mikey wrapped around her little finger. Besides he does an amazing job, I am afraid of what any creation of mine with a sewing machine might look like.

This is the three of us at the ward "truck or treat". At first Izzy was a bit shy to go up to people but as she realized that she got candy she got over her nerves quickly.

Here is the little one again. This time posing for the camera at Grandma and Grandpas. She is such a model.

After a long day of dressing up and eating candy. The picture looks as if she is on a sugar high but I think it was more out of exhaustion.

Our Annual Halloween Party

We had our annual Halloween Party a couple of weeks ago. I would have had pictures up sooner but for some reason I have a hard time uploading pictures to blogger from my computer. So I have to do it through Court's laptop. And then it loads pictures backwards. Crazy I tell you.

Here was the treat bar. This is one of my favorite things about the party. I love trying new recipes and of course I have a large group of people to try them out on.

Here are some pictures of our regulars (too many pictures to upload them all). I love to see what everyone comes as.

My friend Jess who came as the witch who got hurt falling off of her broom.

Our close friends who love dressing up as much as we do. Supergirl and Superman. Thanks Erin and Brian for dressing up and acting like kids with us.

Stacia and Tim who we are just glad are willing to come even though they aren't really into dressing up.

Emily and Devin. This was Devin's first year and he was a good sport.

Mikey and Brooke (aka Mr and Mrs Santa) our co-hosts. Who were wonderful this year and did much of the planning and hosting. I was feeling all that great up to the party so it was nice to know they were to help out so much.

And us. We are the candlestick and feather duster from Beauty and the Beast if you can't tell. (Isabel went as Belle but you will see those pictures later.) Thanks to all those who came; we had a fun time.
