Halloween

For Halloween this year, Ken's coworker Mindy invited our family to a Halloween party her ward put on. It was held in a Barn. There was soup and dip cupcakes and all sorts of fun things to eat there. It was a lot of fun for us and the kids. 

                                            Kirsten dressed up as Tiana the frog Princesses.
                                         Elizabeth is dressed up as a Ladybug. Isn't she cute?

Fun at the Corn Maze

For Kirsten's Preschool field trip this year we again we to Swore Farms Corn Maze. My older kids were so excited that her field trip was held on a day they didn't have school so they could go too. They all had so much fun.
Kirsten is in the calf Angie is next to her and Christopher is above Angie.
Kirsten is still in the calf, only now Lizzie is the farmer milking the cow and Christopher is still the farm.

They had fun questions to answer. If you got the answer wrong the arrow pointed to a dead end. But if you got the question right, it point to other questions further in the maze.

Lizzie's 1st Birthday

Lizzie's 1st Birthday was very eventful. 
You can see the cake I made just for her.
She didn't know what to think of it at first
She tried to touch the flame of the candle and she started to cry when we told her no don't touch.
After a while we got her to try her cake.
She liked it a lot
So much that she licked the plate clean.
So cute. 
We gave her a toy pig that counts money as you put it in the slot. 
She loved it. We all clapped when she would put a toy coin it.

The naked egg

So I found this experiment on Pinterest called how to make a naked egg. Basically you take a egg and put it in a jar filled with vinegar. The vinegar dissolves the shell leaving just the membrain. So cool looking. It takes about 2-4 day soaking in the vinegar to dissolves the shell.
Here's what the naked egg looks like compared to a normal egg. It is twice the size.
We also read that you can dye the egg by simply putting food coloring in the vinegar.It not only turns the outside of the egg green, but also the egg whites.

And this is proof that the egg white were in fact dyed green. Oddly enough the yolk is still yellow.Here is the site we found this on. 

Elizabeth in the Jumper

I just couldn't resist post pictures of Elizabeth in the jumper. She's not sure how to jump on her own yet so we helped her. I think she likes it don't you?




"What's this I'm  in again?"
"I Like this."
What fun.

We went to see My sister Lora and her husband David and their New baby boy Benjamin. His is almost 2 weeks old. This was a nice visit for all of us. We all got to hold Ben. What a cute little boy.

Lora holding her baby. Love this picture.

Beautiful family
David holding Benjamin and Me holding Lizzie. It's interesting to see the difference 5 months makes.

Elizabeth's 1st Solid foods

So we have to just document this event. I felt she needed solid food when she just became too restless during her waking hours. When naps, diaper changes and breastfeeding were not working I thought I'd try feeding her some rice cereal. At first she didn't know what to think of the stuff. But after a while she thought is was aright. The picurtes say it all.

"What's this stuff again?"
Not sure what to think.

"OK I'll try more."
"I like it now."
