Porter's "Lego" Spongebob Comic Strip

As many of you might know already, Porter loves to draw. He's always trying to draw new lego characters. Today he wanted to try and draw a lego Spongebob story. He did a great job and didn't give up until it was all done. We're very proud of him!

Baby #3 is due May 2nd!

Halloween

We had numerous chances to celebrate Halloween this year. We started with a trunk or treat at the ward the week before Halloween. On Wednesday they had trick or treating at the mall. In Columbus they have what is called "beggars night" which is the night they designate for trick or treating, it ended up being on Thursday this year. Weird, I know. Then on Saturday we went to a Halloween party! Whew, I guess we can't get enough. It was really fun though. I really slacked off on the Halloween costumes this year. My kids just dug these out of our play costume box and they were happy, so I was happy. We went trick or treating with some friends and had a blast!

Spiderman and The Clone Tropper

My sweet neighbor Linda had a special treat for the kids, it was so nice!

Trick-or-Treating Group

One house had hotdogs, so we stopped for a few minutes and ate dinner.

Porter at Gymnastics

We signed Porter up for gymnastics this fall and he loves it so much. We missed the sign ups for soccer, but this was the next best alternative. Porter wants to do it again! We met a family who is involved in wrestling, so Lynn is super excited to get Porter started.

Circleville Pumpkin Festival

We decided to venture out of Columbus to Circleville, home of the annual pumpkin festival. It was crazy!!! So many people and so many pumpkins. We couldn't find parking for like 30 mins. It was really cold, so we basically took pictures and went home. It was fun, but we aren't sure if we will be back next year.

The pumpkin behind us was over 1600 lbs.!

Crazy big pumpkins

Check out these pumpkins that were formed as a face out of a mold.

Erin's Trip to Omaha

So, this last month I had the awesome opportunity to go to Omaha all by myself. Originally I was going to be there for my friend Jennifer's endowment in the temple, but it ended up being postponed to the next week. I came anyway and had a blast!!! My friend Jessica picked me up at the airport at 2:00 am and we spent the next day just hanging out and talking. It was great to catch up with her and her cute kids. Alicia came and picked me up from Jess's and we got to spend the afternoon chatting. Emmett and Melynn are getting so big, it was great to see them. I think that Emmett even remembered me (we used to be neighbors). The Wilkinsons were the best hosts and we had a wonderful dinner with the Chambers, the Huynh's, and I. We got up the next morning and did baptisms with Jennifer and her kids, which was great. We went shopping and then the Saxton's had a party for Jennifer at their house. Chelsea and Craig were so much fun to be around. I miss everyone already, it was so great to see them. I wish that I would have taken more pictures though. It was a whirlwind of a trip, but the best time ever!!!! Thanks Lynn for being so willing to stay home with the kids, you are the best!

Lynn's Birthday

I know that Lynn's birthday was almost a month ago, but I wanted to post the cake I made for him. He absolutely loved it! I found the big toothbrush at the dollar store. Who know someone would love a tooth cake so much. It was fun to make!
