BEWARE

Last week Payton finished his 2nd season of playing SOCCER. He had such a great time and has improved so much in just one year! I think he really likes playing defence and getting the ball from others. It was really fun to watch him this year, his face lights up on the field when we would cheer for him when he did something good, I think he was really having a great time. It is kind of nice that it came to an end because it is starting to get cooler outside and it is also nice to have some more time that is not spoken for. It seems like we have been so busy lately and have had something almost every single night.

Going after the ball (he is in white this game).
My handsome guy!

I think this was his favorite thing to do. Wait for the other team to come down the field and steal the soccer ball!

Running hard, he was the smallest kid on the team this year.

Go get it Payton!

Then it was time to carve our Halloween pumpkins! It seems like Mckay and I do most of the work, but the kids were eager to get involved for a little bit.

Dig in!!

Taylor was not too sure if he really wanted to touch that stuff!Kenzie did a pretty good job!

Payton was loving every minute of it.

Breille was happy in her Bumbo.

Payton actually got to do a lot of the carving this year and did a fantastic job carving the face on Taylor's pumpkin with minimal help. (His own choice of Jack-O-Lantern face was a little more difficult.)

The finished Jack-O-Lanterns!

Now on to HALLOWEEN!

Then Payton was so excited to have his Halloween Party at school. He decided to be a Transformer at the school party. I was able to leave the other kids with a friend and join in on the fun! I like to go to Payton's class to get to know his teacher and the kids that he talks about from school. He is loving Kindergarten so much and has made a ton on little friends already, a few of them were hugging him goodbye when it was time to go home. The other day when I volunteered in his classroom I overheard a few of the kids arguing, "Payton is my friend" and the other would say. "No, he is my friend!", the funny thing was that Payton was no where near this little conversation and had no idea what they were saying about him. He is usually a good friend to everyone...no matter if you are a boy or girl (although when he sees the girls outside of school, he seems to act a little shy around them).

Decorating Sugar cookies is the BEST! Having fun with friends.

Brielle is growning so fast and has been such a good little baby! All cute on Halloween!

When Mckay returned home from work we took a few pictures of the kids all dressed up and ready to go Trick-Or-Treating! They were so excited at this point and it was hard to sit still. McKenzie (Repunzle), Brielle (Bee), Payton (Mario riding on Yoshi), and Taylor (Buzz)

Kenzie loved her long hair and make-up!

Payton loved his outfit as well!

Taylor had a blast being Buzz and Brielle was a pretty calm little Bee! We headed to Paul's for a Trunk-Or-Treat and 50 cent hamburgers at Artic Circle. Then while the kids ate in the car we headed to some nice houses in our ward and the kids could have gone Trick-or-Treating all night long if we let them, even though it was a little chilly! Payton was the door knocker. Kenzie got a little nervous at the really Spooky doors, but would brave up for a piece of candy. If given the choice Taylor would always pick a Reese's. I even heard him tell someone that was his "favorite", "more please", and when one lady handed him something not so great he said "not that one" GREAT!! Then we worked on a few manners, but he is a 2 year old after all! He was not shy and would strike up conversations with strangers.

It was a great Halloween and it was even more fun to see our kids having a great time!
