Halloween Preview

Our ward had their Halloween party on Saturday so here's a preview of our Halloween costumes. Kylee thought dressing up was so fun. She twirled and twirled in her dress. Curtis and Amanda actually won the adult costume contest.

Our Royal Family

My Knight in Shinning Armor

Kylee the princess

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the prettiest Snow White ever?

Daddy's Girl

Daddy bought Kylee this 49ers hat before she was even born. She's finally getting big enough to wear it, and just in time for football season. I try hard to help her still be girly and the fact that the hat is pink really helps, but I still think she looks like a boy in wearing the hat.

What's Cooking?

Kylee has discovered the pots and pans cupboard and it has become her favorite place to play. Aunt Em took these pictures and the video while she was watching Kylee one day. Maybe we have a chef in the making?

Cody's Fall Concert

This post is especially for my brother and sister who couldn't make it to Cody's fall concert yesterday. We really missed you but hopefully these pictures and the video below will help you feel like you were part of the night. It was a fun concert.

Our Family

The Concert Show Choir (A.K.A the boring songs)

There's our Cody the Laytone! (He was always on the end in the dark)

Kylee was practising being a Laytone during intermission.

Cody the Zombie for Thriller. I had the whole Thriller song on video, but the black light kept going out and I didn't do a very good job filming as Kylee was trying to help me, so I didn't post it. Cody sure has the moves though. He did a really good job.

This is Cody's good friend Kaylynn during her solo as Winifred from Hocus Pocus singing "I Put a Spell on You." She did SUCH a good job. She's super cute.

And here's a video of the Laytones singing the song "Stay" in which Cody has a very HIGH and very long solo. He did a great job too. It was a really fun concert. Made me excited for Halloween.

I Do It!

Kylee is VERY independant. She thinks she is big enough to do anything that Mom and Dad do. We try to let her do most things herself, but let's face it, she's just over 1 years old. Feeding her is starting to really drive mom crazy. Kylee always wants to feed herself and still doesn't quite have the coordination to do it without making a mess. We let her try as much as she can though.

Yeah! She got one on her fork.

Starting out pretty good!

This is usually what happens, she starts to get frustrated and uses her hands instead.

YUM!

And then she usually ends up getting more on her or the floor than in her mouth. Oh well! She's getting better at it every day.

Boise

Curtis had a job out in Marsing Idaho to do, so we took advantage of getting paid to drive to Idaho and visited the family. I always take my camera with the intent of taking lots of pictures, but always end up visiting so much I forget to take any. :) Oh well. Here's the pictures I did get. It was so fun to see all of our family while we were out there. We love all our family out in Idaho.

Kylee and Annie

We are really lucky that Annie is so tolerant with Kylee. She lets her use her as a pillow and climb all over her and never complains. Kylee loves Annie. She hugs her all the time and loves to share whatever she's eating with Annie too, which is why anytime Kylee has food Annie is right there waiting for Kylee to share some with her.
