Micellaneous Fun!
We've had a fun, crazy, busy few past weeks! Here are a few pics to play catch up!
We went to an ASU game this past weekend...we are UNDEFEATED in conference and it was an amazing game. It was cloudy, windy, and cold but we won! And Essie was so good the whole time...she ate 2 whole boxes of popcorn and danced in the aisle. There was a "streaker" at the game...he wasn't naked but it was hilarious! After the game Essie loved running all over the practice field.

A very "TANGLED" Halloween!
Halloween Eve we made a festive "Jack'O'Pizza", carved and painted pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, and rode our Belle quad up and down the hallway while we laughed hysterically!
We chose the Tangled theme for costume this year since this past year has been pretty full of Rapunzel! My parents bought Essie the Disney store dress, shoes, and light up wand. I will say the quality of the Disney store dresses is amazingly better than those you can buy at walmart!
Essie looked so beautiful in her dress. She wouldn't wear the braided headband my dad and I made for her so I clipped some yellow ribbons into her ponytail. My dad also made this super cute Pascal out of pipecleaners to ride on her shoulder. He also made the magic golden flower for her to carry!
Travis found some things at the Goodwill that worked for a Flynn Rider costume. I thought he looked pretty darn good! I had planned on wearing a red cape/black wig and going as Mother Gothel or "Ever" as Essie calls her. But when I put it on she freaked out and yelled "no mommy! Take it off!". Knowing she was already going to be on edge I opted out of wearing it.
At first she was quite afraid of trick or treating but once she realized she was getting candy AND compliments she was all about it!

Ghosts of Halloween Past!
I love looking back at old Halloween photos to see how much our life has changed in the past few years.
Let's start back in 2008...I was preggo with Essie Claire only by a few weeks in this pic! The pups were RedWolves fans that year!
Then in 2009 we had our lil cutesie Monkey with two bananas!
2010 was the year of the bumblebee and our first real trick or treating adventure!
This year we are gearing up for all things TANGLED! We have the dress, the hair, Pascal, the magical yellow flower, Flynn, and even Mother Gothel! I cannot wait for trick or treating tomorrow!

fashionista and lots of randomness
We have quite a little fashionista on our hands.
The other night she wanted to pick out her pajamas. So I let her. And she chose a princess night gown with Belle socks and gold glitter shoes.
This past Thursday was purple day at her school so she looked ADORABLE in her purple dress, boots, and big bow!
Her school is also having a superhero themed Fall Festival so we dug out this Batgirl costume from her dress up tub...we tried it on just to make sure it fit....
And here is her very first school picture! I think it turned out so cute.
Friday night our friends "RaRa", "Matt-Matt", and "Poopah" came to visit! They got her really late friday night. Essie tried very hard to wait up but didn't make it. Yes, she had one shoe on...she's obsessed with shoes right now.
Saturday morning we all got up (yest we all stayed at our 600 sq ft apartment) and went to Stoby's for breakfast.
Then we went a town over to the pumpkin patch. I got only a few pics then my camera died so I will do an official pumpkin patch post once Sarah sends me her pics!
Then Sarah and I made Cooper's smash cake for his one year pictures..I can't believe he is going to be one next month! His party is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed..I thought we did a pretty good job! He is already walking around....Essie was so excited she yelled "Poopah walking!".
Then Saturday afternoon we all drove to Heber for a birthday party. It was such a cute party and the kids had a blast jumping in the bounce house! After all that excitement this was Essie on the way home...
