Family Night with the Butlers

So our good friends Craig & Ashley invited us to go to Pumpkinland with them for FHE and pick out some pumpkins. So we got to pumpkin land and they were closing in 10 minutes. So we didn't get to go through pumpkin land which is a corn maze, seeing some baby animals, playing on halloween inflatables, and going through a light house. So we thought well that's a bummer but we can still get some pumpkins. But when we went to the pumpkin patch they had hardly any Big pumpkins in yet, they were coming. So long story short we ended up not getting any big pumpkins instead we came home with some little teeny baby pumpkins to decorate the house with ha,ha! Regardless, we still had a lot of fun with our friends and ended up going back to there place and the kids enjoyed playing with each other and every one was happy with their baby pumpkins:) Thanks Craig & Ash for a FUN night out with the kidos.

Cute Girlies!

Happy Birthday Addi!!

So Addi turned 9 today can you believe it? Addi loves the show Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney Channel. It's kind of like Harry Potter only the wizard is a girl named Alex. Anyway, Addi wanted to have a Wizard party this year with her friends. I really get excited planning a birthday party for my kids because I get to be creative and have so much fun doing it. So I looked on-line to get some ideas and decided that we were going to have a Wizard School. So each "Wizard" had to pass off certain tasks to become a true Wizard by the end of the party. So in each picture I will explain what we were doing to accomplish our goals of becoming Wizards.

Pouring ingredients into pot to make a potion. (Dragon snot, unicorn tongues, 100 year old dust, water from a bitter well, etc.) Our potion turned into ice-cream!

Lion King at the Capital Theater

September 7, 2010
So for Addi's 9th b-day Grandma Elaine got tickets for the both of them to see The Lion King on Wed. the 8th. But Kirby surprised Elaine with a 2 week trip to Europe and they needed to leave on the 8th. So Elaine bought 2 more tickets for the 7th so her and Addi could go and then she gave Kylie and I the tickets for the 8th. Addi and Grandma got to sit on the second row in the theater and loved it!
