Halloween

Ashlyn, of course, had to be a princess and Caleb was our little Superman. We had so much fun trick or treating with our cousins, we only wish we lived a bit closer.

Carving Pumpkins

One day I'll remember to add the pictures in the right order...Anyway here is the fun we had carving pumpkins with my sister's kids. Ashlyn wasn't too sure about getting her hands dirty in the pumpkin to clean it out. I think I ended up doing most of the work.

Caleb's Blessing

Caleb was blessed on Sunday, October 26, 2008. It was a bit different than what I expected, but it turned out great just the same. My parents and Tonya's family all came into town. My brother's family was suppose to be here too, but it didn't quite work out with the flights. We also had Mike's brother's family over for the blessing. We had a big house full of people. It was great for Caleb's special day. We had planned on blessing Caleb at church, but Michael ended up getting really sick on Saturday night and could hardly get out of bed on Sunday. The bishop gave us permission to bless Caleb at the house with my dad and Brandon helping out Michael. Michael got off the couch just long enough to stand up and bless Caleb and then he was back down. It took him a few days, but finally got over the stomach bug he had. I was amazed that only Ashlyn and my mom got a bit of it. Thank goodness it didn't spread any farther than that with all the people we had here, it was a miracle. We had a great time with everyone here, and I'll post more pictures of our outings later. I was so blessed that everyone could come share Caleb's special day with us.
