Our Halloween candy is finally gone. Kevin and I took the approach to just binge and eat it all at once so it wouldn't keep haunting us. Now I don't have to feel guilty when I indulge my candy fix at 11:00 at night.

I VOTED!
This morning Kevin and I loaded up the kids and went to Tantalizing Thai to vote. Yes, we voted at a Thai restaurant.
Kevin and I have different views and different personalities. His antagonist personality and my pleasing personality don't mesh well when it comes to politics. He likes to throw out his opinion and I like to keep mine private.
I was happy to teach my kids to vote. The little old lady at the poll gave Hannah an "I Voted" sticker. Hannah told her, "When I grow up, I'm going to vote!" I was so proud of her.
We are so lucky to have the freedom and the opportunity to vote.

Happy Halloween!
Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday. I plan ahead months in advance. Every year I go up to my mom's house to make Halloween costumes. This year, Hannah was Glinda the Good Witch and Gavin was a pirate.
The day started off with a Halloween costume parade at Hannah's preschool. The kids walked around showing off their costumes and the parents fought like the paparazzi trying to get priceless pics. Check out all the parents in the background... that is how it was like all around the fence.
The kids walked along the sidewalk next. I was running around like the paparazzi getting pictures of my girl.
This is her class picture. Hannah's sleeves are as big, if not bigger, than her head!
We had our ward Halloween party. I signed up to make a cake for the cake walk. I think I bit off more than I could chew. I was pretty stressed all day making these dang cupcakes. I did mini chocolate cupcakes with black frosting and rolled them in black sprinkles... Then I had large cupcakes with black frosting. I used a mini marshmallow for the head and drew in the skeleton's body. I was pretty happy how they turned out.
Thanks to a lot of help from my friends we were able to complete all the plates of cupcakes.
Thank you Stacy and Leslie.
Poor Gavin slept through the whole party... We kept checking on him, the light was on, everyone was walking in and out of the room and he was passed out.
Hannah won the award for the prettiest girl costume. I was so happy. I think it was the crown that clenched her victory... It really completed the costume. Hannah was so happy to get the award for the prettiest girl... wouldn't you?
Hannah and Kevin Trick or Treated together. I made Kevin a pirate costume to match Gavin's, but he decided last minute not to wear it.
Hannah and I drove around to a couple of friend's houses to show off her costume then headed home. We had a great time Trick or Treating with just Mommy and Hannah.

Hannah and Gavin October 2008
I LOVE getting pictures of my kids.. I try to get them done every year.
I can't believe how grown up they are from last year!
Had to get the Halloween pictures done. Hannah is Glinda the good witch, Gavin is a pirate (obviously)
Unfortunately, I was dressing Gavin so I didn't get to be all perfectionist on Hannah's picture. Her right sleeve is driving me CRAZY!!!

Look Who's TWO!!!
I can hardly believe my baby is TWO!! I always get way sentimental on my kid's birthdays. I reminisce about every detail of their birth. I was induced with Gavin, right after one of Kevin's hockey games.
Hannah fell in love with "her baby" instantly. She gave him her Elmo blanket. She just loved to touch his face and give him kisses.
He grew so much that first year!
Now that Gavin is two, he is all boy. There is nothing baby about him. He sleeps with his hockey stick and ball, he carries it everywhere with him. He loves dogs, airplanes, and sports. He is a determined, persistent, and aggressive little boy.
Happy Birthday my little man!

Born to Hand Jive!!
Our stake had their 50th anniversary celebration tonight. Hannah participated in the entertainment portion. I have to give Kevin ALL the credit. Since I have school on Tuesday and Thursday night and I teach/train on Monday and Wednesday night, I was totally unavailable to take Hannah to ANY of her practices. Kevin took her to everything.
Tonight when all the kids were getting dressed, Kevin made sure all the boys were put together properly. He was the only Dad helping out.
During the performance he took Gavin and helped the kids get on stage so I could just enjoy the show. Hannah was so adorable! She did so well doing the hand jive. You can see her in the dark blue skirt.
I loved every second of it. I appreciate all the hard work Hannah did and especially Kevin.
