Last weekend we surprised Baylee with a Daddy/Daughter Date to see Phantom of the Opera in Vegas. We have had this in the works since Aug and it was so fun to finally see it all come together. Baylee had NO CLUE about anything. Friday we went out to run some errands as a family, or so she thought:) We pulled up to the airport to drop them off, Baylee and Trace were playing and not really paying attention. Brandt ran to the back of the van and pulled out the camcorder. I told Baylee to turn around because dad had something to tell her. She was so confused, wehn he told her I thought that she was going to cry. I'll try to post her reaction later. So off they went for a weekend of fun. The highlight was of course Phantom, she had never seen the play before but LOVES the movie and the music.

Tate's Blessing
Two weeks ago we blessed Tate. We were lucky enough to have my parents, Brandt's parents, his brother Jared and his family and Dave and Suanne and their kids come up. But unfortunatley with all of the excitement and company we forgot to take pictures:( SO here is what we got of Tate's blessing.....we didn't even get any of Brandt with Tate becuase all of the pictures we remembered to take were before church and Brandt was at meetings.

Halloween
Here is the gang of trick-or-treaters! We went with a group of friends this year and it was a ton of fun. We did feel like geese herding our gosslings at times. Baylee, Chloe and Ruby
Trace as Bat-man, Baylee as a gymnist and Aislyn as a princess. Tate HATED his costume so it only last about an hour.

Aislyn's Birthday
Aislyn celebrated her 3rd Birthday the end of Oct. Her birthday landed on the same night as our trunk or treat so we had a quick family party:) The poor girl didn't even have time to eat her cake, but she did get lots of candy instead!

Cooking 101
It has been so much fun having more time with Aislyn now that the older kids are in school. I love the stage that seh is at. She is such a little helper and is constantly making us laugh. The other day she wanted to help me crack the eggs into the brownies. I can't get the pictures to move so they are in the wrong order but here is the play by play of her first egg cracking, along with her cute commentary about the whole thing:)
" I did it!! I told you I was a great maker!"
When she dropped the egg in the bowl she said " Oh darn it, it slipped."
" Mommy can I crack the eggs cuz I'm a real good maker."
She also did the funniest thing at dinner last night. It was her turn to say the prayer, so we all had our eyes closed and were listening to her when we hear a big thump, and then it goes silent. We look up to see that Aislyn had fallen right off her chair. She wasn't crying or anything, she was just laying there kind of stunned. So we all start laughing and Brandt just says Amen to close her prayer. Then she pops up and says, " Wait! I'm not done yet, I didn't bless the prophet or the missionaries." It was hilarious:)
