Five Guys and One Sad Gal

On Saturday - we tried to to take some family pictures for our Christmas card...its always harder than you think...

After taking family pictures, we went to Five Guys with my Dad, Mom, and Kali. My mom wanted to brave the line at the new In-N-Out Burger, but unfortunately no one was with her...maybe next time. Here is Dad with his "Five Guys" - posted on the comment/picture board.

They were actually "Five Guys" that were eating in the restaurant at the same time as us...

Milk anyone....?

Unfortunately it was cold and Alayna was a little bit tired...so not all of our pictures were perfect(and I have a hard time keeping my eyes open)!

Just walking along!

Thanks Mom, Dad, and Kali - for taking pictures and entertaining! We love you!

Happy Late Birthday Coby!

Happy late Birthday Coby! Alayna and Dad blowing out the candles!!

If I do say so myself - the Caramel Banana Walnut Torte I made for Coby was probably the best cake I have ever eaten - it was absolutely delicious!
On an even better note! My husband is one year older and wiser too! I love him so much! I don't know what I would do without him! He makes my life happier in everyway possible! We just wish we could see him more, Alayna and I treasure the little time we have with him!

In Memory of...the mustache

This last weekend we were visiting Coby's family and we found these fun mustaches in a vending machine.

Grandpa Brad just shaved his mustache for the first time in a very long time - so in loving memory of Grandpa Brad's mustache - Alayna and Brayden wore mustaches of their own.

Everyone with their mustaches...

Grandma Kelli sported the best mustache of all!

Shopping with Kasey!

Yay for a pretty new dress!

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Alayna loves Mary Poppins and has wanted to go fly a kite ever since she saw the movie. So we found a cheap Buzz Lightyear kite - which she loves - and headed to the park...of course, no kite flying experience would be complete if you weren't singing, "Let's Go Fly a Kite".

Just Keep Swimming!

We went to our ward "Trunk-or-Treat" on Saturday morning - Alayna loved it and has a full bucket to prove it!

This little fish enjoys a hot dog and chips for lunch - before mom would let her dive into her treat bucket.

Alayna posing for a quick picture with her cousins Joey, Owen, and Gabe.

Brandon, Danielle, Brynnli, and Wyatt all looked great in their costumes too - we especially loved the dogs in their pirate costumes.

Diving in after "Trick-or-Treating" at Grandma's and getting another bucket full of candy. I don't know what we are going to do with all this candy!

On Friday night we carved our pumpkins...Alayna thought it was so neat to tell me how she wanted her pumpkin.

Dad and Alayna with our pumpkins.

All lit up! The big pumpkin in the middle was grown by Grandpa Lloyd and cut by his friend Ray - who is an award winning pumpkin carver!

Little Nemo just keeps swimming! She definitely had all the right moves to be Nemo! Alayna has been wearing her Nemo costume all month and practicing her "trick-or-treating" - so we had a great Halloween - she kept us all entertained.
