Halloween Happiness!
We have had a lot of fun this week doing Halloween festivities! We had our first winter snow that Cayman got to play in. It was quite fun and we made a snowman. Cooper got to see his first snow of the year too. It was cold that day. We bundled Cayman up in her new winter coat and snow pants and boots and she looked like the kid on a Christmas Story...so funny from behind I couldn't stop laughing! She had fun jumping on the tramp and then falling off or actually rolling off onto the ground.
Later this week we carved pumpkins. We had four pumpkins to carve but only did three. Cooper wasn't cooperating very well and we just didn't have enough time. It was fun though and Cayman liked pulling out the guts of the pumpkin. We decorated outside with them and it looks really good!
Friday afternoon we went to Jackies work and Trick or Treated the residents in the hallways. Cooper dressed up as a Giraffe, and Cayman dressed up as Snow white. We asked Caymans friend Miya and her mom Cassy to come with us. It was a lot of fun and when we got there, Jackie was Cruella Deville. So Cute!
We played a game to guess how much candy was in a jar and if you guessed right, you won a pumpkin and the candy. Cayman Won!! Yipee! That was fun. Cayman and her friend Miya were both Snow White and earlier that morning when Cayman was getting dressed she touched her blonde hair and said " Oh no, my hair isn't black." She was so worried about her hair not being like Snow Whites. Pretty funny. We got a cute picture of Jack Sparrow and Cruella!
After the care center we went to Mcdonalds and let the kids eat and play. It was a fun morning. Later that night we went to Gardner Village to Witchapalooza and let Cayamn ride on the ponies. She loves to ride them and it is fun. After that we went on a hayride to a witches house. Cayman was in awe watching the witches talk and tell about their potions and food they eat.
We got to go in their house and look around and then outside. Cayman got to bury a cockroach in the cemetary and then she learned about poisoned apples. The witches are nice and pretty and so Cayman was not scared. It was pretty cold and we were bundled up pretty good.
Cooper was so dang cute just wanting to see what was all around him. He was just looking at everything. It is so neat to see the wonder and awe in babies eyes.
We walked around Gardner Village and looked at all the witches and took some pictures.
On the way back to the car Cayman kept saying my bum..my bum.. I had no idea what she meant so we stopped walking and when I looked down this is what I saw! She meant that her bum was showing. Her pants and panties had both fallen down around her knees. I guess she needs to gain more weight! It was so funny. That made our night come to an end.
Halloween came and I got Cayman ready in her Cinderella Costume this time. I put blue eyeshadow on her eyes with pink blush and put her hair up in curls. She looked so pretty just like a princess.
Cooper was his Giraffe again. Alli and Paul came to our house to see the kids and as a treat for them they brought in this Huge Cupcake pumpkin treat. Cayman was so happy! We got a few pictures and then we were off to trick or treat.
We started a little early as to get Cory off to the Utah game but no one really was home yet. We were the first out trick or treating in the neighborhood and it kinda was a bust. Cayman looked so cute though. Cory left for the game and Grandma came over. She watched Cooper and then I took Cayman out to trick or treat a little later when more kids were out and about. This time, Cayman had to wear her Snow White Costume. She looked so cute in it too! What a princess we have in our home! We hit quite a few blocks with Caymans friend Georgia and Jacob and she got a ton of candy.
It was a really nice night and pretty warm. We had a lot of fun and then Cayman watched Snow white and fell asleep. Not even 8pm! That is how I am doing the blog! Both kids are asleep and it isn't even 9pm! Wow!! What a fun Halloween we have had! Happy Halloween! These last two pics are just for fun. Cooper loves to sit in this chair like a big boy. He looks like a little man. What a cutie!

Caymans 3rd Birthday Party 2!
To start, Cayman is now 3 years old. She weighs 29.5 lbs and is 36.5 inches tall. She went to the doctors and she looks great. She is right on track with everything.
Cayman loves princesses and so princess was the theme this year and Cayman chose to be Princess Aurora! On the invitations, I wrote that the kids could dress up and some of the big kids dressed up too, like Aunt Alli and Mel.
We even had uncle Cj and Jackie come as Prince and Princess.
I called Magic Princess Parties to book the Sleeping Princess. This is her website http://magicprincessparties.blogspot.com/. She did such an amazing job! We invited 5 neighborhood kids and then both sides of our families came. It was quite the house full of people. Cayman sure is loved. While we waited for the Princess to come, the kids colored and played for a while. As soon as I saw the princess coming Cayman just ran straight outside into her arms. It was so cute. It brought tears to my eyes. I have been planning her birthday party for months and I knew she would be so happy to have a princess at her house. Princess Aurora came right inside, sat down and had all the children come sit around her. She started out by telling them her story and what happened to her. It was very cute.
The kids were then able to make themselves crowns to wear. It was fun to see all the different crowns the kids made. We even let Cooper have a crown.
The kids learned how to dance like a princess, they played freeze, which is when the music plays they can dance and when it stops they freeze! It was fun.
They learned a birthday song for Princess Cayman and we got to sing it to her.
Then they learned about manners. Princess Aurora went through some little right and wrongs and you had to do thumbs up or thumbs down.
After that we got to get some pictures with Aurora. She was very pretty and never once broke out of character.
Cayman got to sit on her lap and open presents from her little friends. From Miya she got a princess book and lipgloss. From Cohen she got a Princess Hair kit with a working blow dryer! Awesome!
She got a princess stamp kit, paint kit and chalk board from Meggie.
She got a truck, ballerina barbie and dress from Georgia and Jacob.
She got a princess crown and activity book from Mckenna who couldn't be there.
Cayman must have some really great friends. What a great day!
After gifts, the kids went into the kitchen and sang happy birthday to Cayman. She blew out her candles and then ate cake and icecream.
After that, Princess Aurora had to leave. Cayman gave her a really big hug and then said good bye. She had such a fun time.
After everyone left, we opened presents from Grandpa Jens and Carma..she got 2 princess barbies and Rapunzel Barbie movie.
She got a book, lipgloss, and Barbie Jeep from Mel and Phil
and Alli and Paul got her Strawberry Shortcake make-up doll.
So much fun to play with all these new toys.
We thank everyone who came to our Princess Party and for all the gifts Cayman got. We had such a fun weekend.
I had to post this way cute picture of Cooper smiling. He sure is getting big. I love this little man!
