A Few Thoughts (plus some pictures)

I know it's been a couple weeks, but I wanted to post a few pictures from Halloween. But first, I want to share a few of my thoughts from yesterday. I took the kids to our Veterans' Day parade and couldn't help but feel such a strong emotion for the men and women who serve our country and provide the freedom that we very often take for granted. I actually teared up a little when a float with a few of the families went by. These people sacrifice so much, I can't even begin to imagine living in fear of deployment, and then just wondering if your husband/wife/son/daughter will return home. It game me so much to think about, and I just wanted to say thank you to all our friends and loved ones who are serving our country. Both my dad and my father-in-law served in the army, as well as my Uncle and cousin who are currently serving, and several of our friends. We love you all, and pray for your safety!

And now for some pictures...
We actually shaved Kody's hair just for this, so that he could really look like Aang, the last Airbender (cartoon not movie)This was the only picture I got of the kids in their costumes. The girls were fairy princesses
the fabulous Dr. B was Harry Potter, and we had a table downtown giving out candy to the masses
Our good friends the Dubs came all the way from Japan just to go trick-or-treating with us!
yes, my costume was just that exciting. I needed something fast, what can I say?
Princess Mollie with her BFF Princess E!
Do you want a sucker Daddy? Psych, I'm not sharing!!

Something new!

I guess by now everyone knows we have a first grader, but did you know...
Mollie is absolutely loving her preschool class?She has also been taking ballet and loves it
Brett & Kody at the historical BYU vs. USU football game last month (31 to 16, go Aggies!) Needless to say, Brett was quite disappointed. They had a good time though!
Thanks for the Halloween clothes Grandma & Grandpa B, we love them!
A trip to the pumpkin patch with some good friends always makes for cute pictures!

PS I felt like I was doing a picture overload here, so I'll post Halloween pictures later. Don't let me forget!
