A child's prayer

After we finished our family prayer the other night, Nate decided he wanted to say one of his own. It went a little something like this:

Heavenly Father, please help us to have another Haloween party so I can get LOTS of candy, please help my muscles to get really big, please help my dad to get home safely even though he didn't go to work today, and please help me not to have the scary dream where I am in the lake with the crocodiles, ...Amen.

I think that about covers it.

Halloween

I think I've mentioned that I love Halloween.  And this year was a great one.  I loved my kids costumes!  For once we didn't have the lamest ones!  Bubb watched The Nightmare Before Christmas right before Halloween and latched on to the idea of being a skeleton.  You should hear him say, "skel-eh-ten" with perfect pronounciation, it was so cute!  He was so proud of his costume and wore all parts of it, the gloves, shoe covers, and mask included.

We got the idea off familyfun.com for Cami to be a fortune teller.  I loved how it turned out, she looked so cute!

Her aunt Court was a fortune teller too, and came down to go to our ward Trunk or Treat party with us.

Emma was a witch.  She is such a teenager.  Her hat kept falling off, so she didn't like wearing it, and then she borrowed some random clothes from her friend and ended up not looking like anything.  It bugged me but she was happy.  Oh well!  At least I can post my favorite pic, haha!

The Elders quorum was in charge of the ward party, and they were supposed to all dress up like pirates.  I had fun penciling in Justin's moustache and soul patch.

They did an amazing job decorating the church for the party.  They had great music and everything, it was so fun!  And is Trunk or Treat not the best invention EVER?

Basherton wanted to be a jellyfish, another familyfun idea, but I couldn't find the stuff so we switched to Cruella at the last minute.  I think she turned out pretty cute!

Man I love this kid!

California...knows how to party!!

Justin scored some cheap tickets and we took Papa to the UCLA vs. ASU game for his birthday.  Brett and his girlfriend Lisa came too.  It was our kids first football game, and they ate it up.  We arrived early and got a great spot for tailgating.

Soaked up some rays.

I made the sliders and Papa manned the grill.

How lucky to see your first football game in a famous stadium.  We had such a ball.  It was so cold, but we brought lots of blankets.  We had to bribe Nate to wear his coat.  He says he never gets cold.

Nate clapped any time the crowd cheered, it was pretty funny.

This is Camille's favorite thing lately, EVERY time the camera comes out...
