Birthday Season '15

Fall is always birthday season at our house.  Christian turned 17 ...
I remember that little costume-wearing boy so well.  Melted my heart then, and still now. :)
Haley wished him a happy birthday by text, and both of them cracked me up!


Mike's birthday was next ...

Watching a Utah game with some of his favorite girls is always a gift for him. :)

Paige was next, and we celebrated by throwing her a surprise party for her 12th birthday.







Her birthday gift from us was a front row ticket to see So You Think You Can Dance Live.  She couldn't have been more excited!

Sure love this spunky, sparkly almost-teenager.




Elle finishes out the birthday frenzy, and turned 9 this year.  This child ... seriously could not love her more!




She got her braces off as a birthday gift from the orthodontist :), and her request to celebrate was going ice skating with mom.


She also got some Legos, which Christian was all too eager to help her assemble.

I also had to introduce her to Anne of Green Gables, a first for her.  It was a kindred spirit kind of bonding moment, for sure. :)

Trick or Treat '15

We kinda love Halloween at our house :) ... and having a trunk-or-treat in our circle only adds to the fun.





Halloween Dance with Aubrey -- Bonnie & Clyde.


Some of the costumes at the school parade were seriously impressive! The Hauze triplets were perfect...

Cameron kinda nailed the facial expression ;)

Shoulder angel with the huge Brett Bryson

This one is for Grandma ;)

My Where's Waldo and Michael Jackson

Even found cool monster hats at the Witch Festival at Gardner Village.
