Lots Going On---and Halloween Pictures

Happy Halloween from our fighter jet pilot, and litter of cats!!





Nicole was actually three different things this Halloween. (All things we had in the dress up box, except for the cat ears that I made.) She was a black cat for our ward party and for trick-or-treating. Kaya (An American Girl Native American) for her Story book parade at school, and Snow white for a friends Halloween party. It pays to have a dress up box!!
Little Heidi got to wear her costume a few times too. Curt says I take enough pictures that we don't ever need a video camera, we can just flip threw our pictures. Well, below is evidence of that. I was pretty selective though so be grateful I didn't post ALL of them!! Wouldn't you take that many pictures of an adorable snuggly pink leopard!?

This is what Curt has been working on for the past few weeks. We have a huge dumpster in our backyard that he has been filling with our old carpet and tile. You just can't have carpet in the bathroom with little boys. If you notice in lots of the pictures you can see our lovely concrete slab floor right now. Oh so chic. You gotta give it to him though. He gets things done!!

This is what Heidi thinks of all the hammer and chiseling.

Designers at work

The masterpieces. Ryan wouldn't let me take a picture of him. His is the little one, Nicole's the cat face one on the right, and Isaac's on the left.

Watching the SNOW!!!??? We've had snow twice this week!! It was freezing!! Then today it got up to 70 degrees. Perfect for Isaac's last soccer game and trick-or-treating. Speaking of trick-or-treating, we had a few 60-70 year olds come by?!!

Proud big brothers

Two month old Heidi--smiling all the time now

Balloon Fiesta Invitation--This is the first year we have gone, and it is pretty cool. I think we will be going every year from now on!! Anyone who looks at our blog is invited to come next year. You won't be dissappointed!! The kids get a day off of school for it. It's even called the INTERNATIONAL Balloon Fiesta. Yep. It's that big. :) hee hee.

Heidi's Blessing Day

Lots of Salisbury's

Grandma and Grandpa Salisbury

Our other exciting September event was Isaac getting 5 stitches. I wish I could say he was swinging from a chandelier(sp?) and did a double somersault onto our fireplace hearth, but all he did was slip and hit his eye on the edge of a chair. It was pretty gaping, and lots of blood. I can't believe I didn't get a picture with the stitches in!! This is the day after Curt took the stitches out. Scars are cool right?

Lots -o- pictures

We have a pear, golden delicious, red delicious and peach tree in our back yard. Unfortunately no one treated them for worms in the spring, so most of our crop has gone to the birds and worms. The boys and I did however manage to fill a truckload's worth of golden delicious. They are small, but oh so tasty!!

Isaac's first day of preschool was actually two weeks ago, but these pictures were stuck on the camera (I had forgotten the card again) until tonight.

1 month old Heidi

Tarzan--er--Ryan on rope swing Daddy made

Isaac waiting his turn for a rope swing . . .

Nicole on the other rope swing

This was cute. Ryan has a hard time falling asleep once Issac has, and often we hear a little noise and look over to see Ryan playing with toys etc, but trying to be quiet. We then ask him to get back in bed etc. This happens several times a night. So this night we must not have heard him and I get up to go to bed and there he is on the floor fast asleep.

Liz made some of these cute fabric balls in CA for a baby shower--then Cassie made some for Heidi--they looked so fun I had to give it a try too--yes they were gifted to a baby as well. The pattern is for just the ball, and I added some tags to suck on and hold, and a jingle bell inside. So fun!! I'm also happy I finished something. I haven't gotten to do that for a while!!
