Halloween Fun

I am finally posting our Halloween pictures and a few other pictures of Alayna

I didn't buy a costume this year, we had the cute dress and fairy wings. It made and easy costume.

A little fairy and a cute dog had a blast trick or treating on Halloween night.


Helping with chores around the house. We'll see if she still thinks it is as fun when she is eight?



Riding on Daddy, so much fun. And Alayna still has on her Pajama top because getting dressed is all about her deciding what to wear. I like what David told her last night, "You don't get a choice." That was after three no's to PJ's for bed.

Saturday Night Guest

Last night after I put Alayna in her bed, I was walking into our kitchen and this is what I saw....


I first screamed "David, there is a snake in the house!!" He is used to me yelling about crickets in the house all the time, just yesterday a cricket got washed with my towels. He was still alive. So the snake is a new critter to have in our house. How could it have gotten in? Well David got a stick and cornered the snake. I remembered that members of our ward have snakes. So I called (after taking some pictures). The brother was more than happy to come over and take the snake. David thought that it might be a rattlesnake because of how it was moving its tail, but we learned that it was a harmless king snake. Not so harmless to me to see something slither across the floor in the dark. I don't mind the lizards and frog in out backyard, but the thought of snakes in the house is too much. All night when I had to get up to go the the bathroom ( a few times at six months pregnant) I thought about snakes crawling on the floor. I don't feel safe in my house.

David's Birthday

Last Tuesday was David's Birthday. Alayna and I decorated the house while he was at work. She loved the balloons, of course.

David wanted to open his present right after Alayna's nap and she got to help him. We got to spent a nice evening at home together. David is such a wonderful husband and father. Alayna and I are so blessed to have him!
