Carving and Costumes

For FHE on Monday we carved our pumpkins. We tried to get the kids to scrape out the seeds, they got their aprons on and were all ready until we took the top off and then they said "NO WAY!" We finally got Malia to use a spoon.

Last Friday Ian and I went to a Friend's Halloween Party. They go all out, and have lots of fun things to do there. This year in addition to the life size Operation game that is always a hit, he made a Halloween video game to go along with the Haunted (pie walk), Glow in the dark pictionary, Find the bats, and guess the funsized candy in the xray. Not to mention all the goodies to eat. I had a little more time to plan this year, and with all the sewing I was doing anyway, I made these costumes, which I think turned out pretty good. It is all fun.

Hillsboro Airport Open House

This is a fun little event they do every year at the Hillsboro Airport. You get to see helicopters and airplanes and a fire engine up close with a few Halloween activities. Gunner loved it! I wasn't too impressed with it this year, but the kids still had fun.

The Wedding

Ian's sister Andree got married last week in the Portland Temple. It was a really neat ceremony. We are so happy for her! I found out after looking through my pictures how many things I missed, but don't worry there is still an overload of them!

The McOmie side

The kids waiting and running around. Gunner was not in a good mood that morning! He did not want anything to do with pictures.

Malia made some new little cousin friends Ashlyn, Kaylie, and Brooklyn.

This is the dress I made Malia. It turned out a little fancier than I expected, but she sure did get a lot of compliments on it, and fed her little ego. :) She was posing all around the rest of the day.

We tried to get a good family picture. It is hard to get 3 kids to smile at the same time.

And then Cooper found his tie, but it made him happy.

The reception turned out really good I think. I really loved the decorations. It was simple but really pretty!
