Halloween week!

We had a fun filled Halloween week....cookie decorating, pumpkin carving at at the Malone's, Mercado at school, A couple of friend's Halloween parties, Our ward Halloween party with Ashley, Mike, and Mia, and of course trick-or-treating for UNSF! The kids were so excited to collect money for UNSF while they were trick-or-treating. Marley collected $15 and Miles collected $17. It was fun to hear the kids tell people that they were collecting money so other children can have medicine when they are sick, for mosquito nets to protect kids from bugs, and for clean water. They were beaming when they came to school with their filled boxes!

Halloween Mercado

It was time for Halloween Mercado again this year at school. The kids look forward to wearing their costumes, shopping for fun things in classrooms, spending time with their friends, and working shifts at their booths. It is so fun to be a teacher at Marley and Miles' school. I love that I can see them throughout the day!:)

Pumpkin Carving!

We had so much fun pumpkin carving over at the Malone's home! Marley drew her own cute cat face...and Brad helped with the carving. Miles found a picture in a book to use for his pumpkin. He kept making his face look like his pumpkin.....he was very entertained! Here are some of the pictures of our fun FHE night:)

Miles' 7th Birthday Party!

Miles was so excited to have a rocket launching birthday party. Miles loved making the rockets with Brad before the big day. We had the party at a retention basin to allow enough room for all of the launches. Each child was able to do the take off switch. The kids would go running after each of the rockets and come back for the next launch. We weren't sure how many launches they would want to do...they used all 10 of the engines. The kids also built little airplanes and had a balancing on the head race, throwing race, and girls against boys race. Miles requested all of his favorities...orange pop, pizza, and Oreo cookie cupcakes. In the end the kids enjoyed a water grenade toss and fight. What a fun party!:)

Marley's 8th Birthday Party

Marley really wanted a slumber party this year for her birthday. A couple of her close friends have had slumber parties, so it was finally her turn. We planned so many fun things to do...nail painting, making headbands, necklaces, Just Dance, etc. Miles planned on leaving the party with Brad to do a boys night out, put a girls keep out sign on his door, and was ready to go until the girls arrived... He quickly changed his mind and enjoyed being part of the slumber party! It was so fun to watch Brad paint nails and help the girls made their headbands! What a fun birthday party!:)

Our Wedding Reception

Our wedding reception was beautiful! Rachel Earl took our wedding reception pictures. My good friend Ashley also took some fun pics too.:)

We had so many people help with our wedding. Thank you to all who made our special day so PERFECT! It was so fun to have so many kids at our reception. Marley and Miles danced the night away with many friends. Miles was so cute and sooo Miles...he lost his tie at the temple, wanted to wear his church shoes with no socks and so he ended up getting blisters so we thought flip flops would be perfect for him to wear for the reception and he managed to loose buttons on his shirt too. Miles makes us smile...he is one of a kind! It was so fun to watch Marley with all of her girlfriends from school, cousins, and friends....she truly danced the night away! We had such a special day!

Thank you to all of our friends and family that traveled near and far to be with us for our wedding celebration!:)
