Happy Halloween and Happy Birthday to Lucy!!

On friday my friend Ali had a halloween costume party and we had so much fun! The Astill's watched kell for us so we could enjoy the party and a night off- though I was missing kell the whole time!

We dressed Mckell up as a giraffe- doesn't she look so dang cute?! She loved the costume because it is super soft.

Driving up to Bountiful- Lucy insisted on laying on Courtland so she could see out the window. Lucy turned one today! She was born one year ago, happy first birthday!
So our original plans for costumes fell through last minute so we had to hurry and put together a very last minute backup costume... can you guess what we are? We were trying to be cows but I think our face paint makes us look more like dalmations. Oh well, it was fun anyway!
Matt, Rachael, and Kambree- the three little bears. Happy birthday to Rachael!

Tessa, Ali, Brax and their dog- Prom queen and king- the dress Ali is wearing was her mom's real prom dress!

Jodi being a punk rocker- her hair was amazing! She won best costumeCassi and Brock- grandma and grandpa- Cassi's dress and sweater are Brock's mom's clothes and yes she still wears them... Isn't that a little harsh Swass? haha

Devin and Arin- hunter and deer target- loved their costumes!

Everyone all together- such a fun night!
Thanks so much Ali for hosting and putting together such a fun party! You really went all out and we had so much fun! We all need to get together more often.

Carving Pumpkins at the Astill's!

The Astill's had us over for pizza and carving pumpkins- they also celebrated my birthday with cake and ice cream! We sure had a good time- as you can see with Mckell smiling in the picture below.. thanks Astill's!
