Halloween

This year we spent Halloween in SJ. It was so much fun being with everyone. We first started with the town Halloween parade where all the children walk around town and down main street showing off their costumes. Afterwards we ended up at the park for hotdogs and playing. Madilyn tried the swings for the first time and absolutely loved them.

Do you like the antennas??

I loved the back of this costume. Everytime she bent over her little butt would look so cute. :)

Later on that night we went tricker treating with Aunt Lora. It was great we made bank on candy. Madilyn was a huge hit with her costume and cuteness, which produce more candy. Lora and I felt like little kids again on Halloween. We had planned just to go around the block, but ended up being out for 1 1/2 hours.

When we got back from trick or treating Kyle, Candice, and Cord Whiting thought it would be fun to dress up and scare the kids that came to the door. It actually was a lot of fun watching the kids get so scared they would run screaming from our door. Oh the joys of scaring little children. Waahahaha!! We ended the night watching scary movies. A perfect way to end a wonderful holiday like Halloween. :)

Birthday Girl!!

Madilyn turned 1 years old on September 28th. We had a birthday celebration at Grandma's house in St. Johns. Strawberry Shortcake was the theme of the party. I decided I wanted to make her cake. So after several visits to cake decorating stores I was able to find all the supplies to make the perfect Strawberry Shortcake cake. Her party ended up being lots of fun with her cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. What else could a girl ask for on her birthday!!

She loved the strawberry frosting and got very upset when I thought she had enough.

Showing everyone all her presents!

Checking out her new hair bows Aunt Candice and Uncle Kyle gave her.

Anticipating her next gift!

Madilyn loves cell phones so when she got one from her cousins she was thrilled!!
