October came and went sooo fast! Too fast! The weather was amazing though. We lucked out and had the warmer weather for just a little longer! :) We celebrated Danny's 26th Birthday this year and surprised him with a Frankin Stein pinata that was full of some of his favorite candy! Fruities(?) or as we call them Fruity Tooties heheeh, there were also Gob Stoppers and Kit Kat bars. The thing you hang it with came off so we ended up putting a wire hanger through his head which was perfect since it was Frankin Stein. It was fun letting the kids take turns trying to break it open. Then Danny finished it off. It took him Three hits. Target sure makes strong pinatas. We had dinner Pizza Hut Pizza and Hot Wings... just few of Danny's favorite foods! :) We opened presents and then played with them. Danny got Transformers Revenge and a cool Ghost Camera and a Target shooting game. Then we finally cut the cake. I made a Spider cake this year. It was pretty fun. There was a square base and then a dome cake for the spider body. I used licorice for the legs. It looked AWESOME if I do say so myself. I will have to borrow Amanda's camera so I can show you some pictures.
We had our ward party later that week. I was a witch with Taelin. She was by fat a much cuter witch. Brick was a Bronco football player. Danny wore his repeat costume from last year. Barf from Spaceballs. We had a fun time. There are some really creative people in our ward. My visiting teacher and her husband were Popi and Olive Oil. They totally fit the part! :)
Danny's actual Birthday Halloween, I was Paula Abdul and Danny was a Jonas Brother. Taelin was a witch and Brick was a mummy. Our kids looked pretty cute if I do say so. After visiting my family, we went to Danny's cousin's house. The house was totally decked out for Halloween with spiderwebs inside and streamers etc.. There was a TON of food and cookies to decorate! His cousin borrowed a Army Tent like the ones on Mash from a neighbor and decorated it with lights, bails of Hay and director chairs to fit the theme. Another cousin borrowed a DJ music equipment. There was even a fog machine. We had a blast!!! Taelin was dancing with everybody especially Jason (One of Danny's cousins). There were so many fun costumes. Amy Winehouse, Hannah Montana, Scooby Doo, Hippies, Choir members (Danny's parents), Jonas Brothers (Danny and Matt), Phantom (Alex), Kiss, etc... It was fun to see what everyone came up with.
Now it is November and I have raked the leaves THREE times in the past week and a half and am sick of them. They are so beautiful while changing colors and attached to the tree. And are fun to jump into etc... But after raking the leaves for the whole neighborhood because they blow into our yard, I am done with them!
The weather has turned cold which makes me SOOO EXCITED for Christmas. I know I know.... Christmas doesn't start until after Thanksgiving! Oh well... you only listen to Christmas music once every year. Danny and I listen to some everyday and have even started watching Christmas movies! :) We have Taelin even watching Christmas cartoons! :)
Taelin, Brick and I went over to Grandma Bitter's house the other day and picked three boxes of apples and borrowed her dehydrator. We are having fun washing apples and slicing them, soaking them in Orange juice, and then dehydrating them. We tasted the first batch of our experiment last night and they were GOOOD! Danny even took some to school today so that is a plus! :)Now I just have two-three days more of dehydrating to look forward to. :)
Brick took his first steps the other day. I looked over at him and he had pulled the drawer open that holds all of the dvds and was dumping them on the floor and then all of the sudden he lets go and starts waving his hands and took two steps. I know it's not a ton, but it is an exciting start! :) GO BRICK!!! He is growing up tooo fast!

Life happens too fast! :) I guess that means that I am enjoying my life though! :) Danny has been such a good HUSBAND, support system, FATHER, work horse, ENTERTAINER, decorator,LISTENER, teacher, MOTIVATOR! etc...
