Halloween party

My aunt and uncle (Tami and Dan) hosted a Halloween party on Saturday. The kids all wore their costumes and we made a few Halloween crafts/decorations, played games, felt brains and eyeballs, and ate yummy food. Of course I jumped at the chance to make a cake for the party. The Mummy cake Turning each other into mummies

Eating cookies off the string. Janae, the cute kitty, didn't quite get the "no hands" rule.

The whole gang. Notice the adorable chicken in the front....that's Kiera. Better pictures to follow on Halloween.

Seaside trip

At the beginning of the month, we spent two nights with Jeff's parents at the beach in Seaside, OR. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was a bit chilly, but there was sunshine and NO wind. That just doesn't happen at the beach here.
K just ran and ran and ran. Daddy had quite the job keeping up with her.





Proof that the wind was nowhere to be found....the flags aren't blowing.

Happy Birthday Kiera!

I can't believe my baby is 2 years old already. Her birthday was on Oct. 7th, and we celebrated a couple of days before with a small party at our house.
Opening presents

Kiera's cake

It's supposed to look like a swarm of butterflies....it didn't turn out as cute as the picture, but I was still pretty happy with it.
