October 2015

Here's to attempting to catch up on this sucker!  October was such a fun month.  Evan turned 6 and of course, we had Halloween.  I also had a rare opportunity to volunteer in Evan's class for one morning.  October also marks the month that Evan finally snapped into a routine and started to love school and all of his various therapies.

This is actually from September.  Sadie had to get steroids to help her breathing when she had a nasty cold. 

Went out to dinner with these ladies since our friend Myca moved on without us.

These are three of my favorite people ever.  I love working with all of them in Primary.  Since Myca moved I got another great counselor, Bree, who is also fantastic.  I'm just so blessed to work with such great people.

 So, for Halloween this year, we had several events we went to.  First was our ward's Trunk or Treat and Chili Cook-off; second was the AFIT Halloween party; and third was finally Halloween.  Evan decided in September that he wanted to be Darth Vader and we just created the costumes around that.  My Chewbacca costume did not turn out as planned and I felt super lame with the rest of the family.  But the boys love A New Hope, and so, we went with those costumes.  Sadie was still technically a Disney princess.  We lucked out finding Sadie's Leia dress from Once Upon a Child and Evan's Darth Vader costume we found at Goodwill.  Logan's costume we just made and picked up orange stuff for him to wear underneath.  Rick actually sewed his Han Solo vest (It was an thrifted black button up shirt).  I think he secretly wants to cosplay sometime.  He knows that I won't do it with him though...

Logan was Luke wearing the X-wing Pilot Gear.  The kid loves plans so much.

I'm wearing a Chewbacca shirt, but everyone else is dressed up pretty well.

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating on Beggar's Night here.

Sadie's buns were so easy to make.  I can't believe she kept them in.

Logan with his awesome Mickey Pumpkin.

They were grumpy going to Rick's school party.  They perked up though when they started getting a ton of candy.

This is just a random pic from when we went to the Pumpkin Chuck that was on base. It was kind of super lame.  But the kids liked being outside, so that counts for something, I guess!

 Of course, on the 28th we celebrated Evan's 6th Birthday.  What a crazy notion, that my little guy is now 6.  I am so grateful for him.  He teaches me patience, and he absolutely loves learning.  What a great kiddo he is.

Happy Birthday Evan!

R2-D2 Cake.  Honestly, I love pinterest because I can make fun cakes for my kiddos without having to know how to use fondant or be super awesome at piping. 

Opening up presents.  He was so excited for the Lincoln Logs and Legos (of course).

We had a really great time in October.  It was so mild weather wise which was awesome.  I really am more of a warm weather creature.  But not Arizona hot.  That's just crazy.
