"Merry Halloween!"

Kate came running in this morning yelling, "Merry Halloween!" She has been excited about the costume she chose (already knows what she wants to be next year), which made it truly a merry week.

We have been celebrating Halloween all week with the ward trunk or treat, a preschool costume party, Omniture's family party and the real Halloween!

"Merry Halloween" to all!

***Steve sported Peter Pan this year for his work party, sorry no pictures!***

*** Thank you gramma for help making the costumes and Nana for the real moccasins and necklace.

Firestation!

Kate learned about fire safety this week at school. She was excited when the firetruck and ambulance came to flash their lights and talk about being safe. One the way home she commented how it was "so cool and they were so handsome!" Handsome... she is scaring me, she's only four!

FOUR Years!

Kate had her "real" birthday today, the BIG four! She had four requests for her special day.

1. Waffles for breakfast (Eggo's, she won't eat real waffles)
2. A doctors kit
3. Her own "computer"
4. Jumping after daddy got home from work!

This is her own "computer"/ Leapster! She played it all morning.

Birthday picture!

This was her face expression the entire time, until she bonked heads with her dad and it turned into this.

We love you Kate. We hope you had a great day!

"You Can Count On Me!"

Sometimes I ask Kate to watch Sage for a few minutes when I leave the room. Kate gets a huge smile on her face and then shouts..."Mom, you can count on me!" She has been a great big helper.

Great little friends!

Nana Trudie!

Sage met Nana Trudie yesterday, Steve's ninety-eight year old Nana. Isn't she beautiful?

Sage is Nana Trudie's twenty -sixth great grandchild.

ONE Week

We are all enjoying this precious little girl...

...now, if we can just get rid of the jaundice.
