Halloween!

I was Hermione this year and Sammie was Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ. We went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat. It was fun. Sammie loved seeing everyone in costume.

We also had a Halloween party at my house. Here are some of our friends!

Here is Von as the ultimate creepy clown. We made him a life size Jack-in-the-Box. So kids had to look in the box for candy and when they opened the lid there was Von. He scared so many kids. One kid jumped into his dad's arms and ouwln't get down again! Von had a great time!

Here is all of us! We had a great Halloween!

Here is Sammie trying so hard to get to her candy! Her efforts paid off. She chewed so hard on the Starburts that she got through two layers of wrapper to get to the candy inside! Sammie ate a lemon starburst! It wasn't until I smelled the lemon that I realized she was eating candy! She is very sneaky!

So sleepy!

So have you ever been this tired? Sammie was so tired and she wouldn't take a nap. So I put her in her high chair to see if she was hungry, and I guess she wasn't cause she crashed hard! She fell asleep right there in her high chair with food and all! She is so funny and soo stubborn! Anyway, hope you all are having a great week! Halloween will be here soon! Check out my Halloween music mix to hear some fun scary toons!

First Word!

So Sammie has been saying momma, Dada for a while now, but her first official word is, "uh oh!" She says it when she drops things, or when I drop things! It is way cute! She is also trying to say "hello." She has a play phone and she will put it to her ear and say "hello." She is just learning and growing so quickly!

We went to Idaho last weekend and played at grandmas. There were some balloons left over fromLindsey's shower so the kids had a great time playing with them! This was Sammie's first encounter with balloons. She loved them!

Here is Sammie with Uncle Jeremy! He is so good with kids! Sammie loved him and her cousin Kadren!

Here is Sammie with Grandma! She was way into her balloon!

Baby Shower!

I went to I.F. for my little sisters baby shower. It was lots of fun. Sammie got to hang out with her cousins and I got to spend some time with my family!

Linds got soem awesome presents.

She got a bull dog because well, she is a Doggett!

Linds is going with the Jungle theme for her nusery. I think it is going to be so cute! I can't wait to meet my new nephew! I know he is going to be so cute!

Baby Proofed????

So I thought that I had "Baby Proofed" the house, HAHAHA! Yeah right! Sammie gets into everything! Her favorite thing to get into is the recycle bin. She loves to play with the bottles of water!

She also loves to get things out of the garbage! Ewww! Yuck! Then I have to wash her hands!

Then she grins when she gets caught! With a face like that I can't get too mad at her!

She loves to take out all of my shoes. I can tell now that she is going to be a shoe girl.

Then there is the computer desk. I sure wish the shelves had a door to protect them but I went cheap and bought my desk at Walmart! That will teach me! Anyway, Sammie is getting so big and she is learning so quickly! I can hardly believe that she will be one in a month! Yikes! My little baby is growing up too quickly! I love her to death (even if she does make a huge mess wherever she goes!)

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Ok so they say that a picture is worth a thousand words and with these pictures I can only imagine what those words are! So I had better explain. Von has been growing his hair out since April. He started growing it out because he thought it would be funny to have long shaggy hair for when his brother got home, but his brother is home and he is still keeping it. He is now growing it out till Halloween because he is going to be a creepy clown and wants the hair so he can go a little Joker with the look. Since Von's hair is so long I decided it would be fun to braid his hair. I am not so great at French braiding so I told Von I wanted to practice on him. It was fun and I got to take some awesome pictures! Plus his grandma was watching me braid and suggested that I add some bows to really finish it off! I love my husband! He is so much fun. Plus I am getter better at braiding so when Sammie is older I can do her hair cute. It will also be fun to tell her that I learned to French braid on her dad!

Welcome Home Elder Higgs!

We went to Chinle, AZ this weekend to welcome Von's brother Josh home from his mission and to see our new nephews LaVon and Keith get blessed. We had fun seeing all of Von's family.

Here are the twins in their blessing outfits. Duane is holding Keith and Rachal is holding LaVon. They are so cute!

Here are the boys. Von and Michael are sporting their long hair look. Michael cut his but Von is growing his out until Halloween. He is going to be a creepy clown.

Here is the fam with all of the babies. While Josh was gone he got 2 new neices and 2 new nephews.

Here are Von and Josh. We are so glad that Josh is back , now Von has a buddy to race triathalons with cause you know I won't! We had a great time in AZ and we loved seeing the fam. I got meet Von's aunt Wendy and her daughter Abby. They were very nice. I hope I can meet the rest of the family some day. Anyway, welcome home Josh!
