Temple

So we walked out of our ward party tonight and this was the view. This beautiful temple is just a few minutes from our home, really walking distance. Kayla told me she wanted to go to that castle to see the prince. I told her it was the temple. So she said she wanted to go anyway. I told her that she could not go inside until she was ready to get married. So she told me she wanted to go get married to a prince because she was dressed like a princess after all. I told her she had to wait until she was grown up. she told me that she was grown up now. I told her she had to be bigger. She said, "Oh, like when I go on the big rides at Lagoon?" I told her when she went to college and was big like Heather, (her cousin that just got married) she could go to the temple and get married to her prince. She seemed to be ok with that answer. She then asked if she could stay up and watch a movie or if she had to go to bed. I sure love that little girl even if she does drive me nuts!

Halloween Party

Tonight we had our ward Halloween party and chili cook-off. Kayla and Cayden were so excited to dress up in their costumes. They have been very patient, I have not let them play with them because I did not want them ruined before Halloween. Cayden is a white Ninja and Kayla is a pink princess. If you ask her, she is Sleeping Beauty.

Here they are posing after the party. Kayla had to pose too because she follows everything that Cayden does, he hates it (at least that is what he says, I think he loves it really!)

Her is my princess getting ready for the ball.

She has her golden sparkly princess slippers on and her beautiful crown. She knows she is beautiful. Whenever anyone told her how pretty she was at the party, all she said was, "I know!" Then she would show them her earrings and her necklace. She got to wear mommy's real pearl necklace and hoop earrings so she thought she was a rock star!

Football

Cayden was so excited to play flag football this fall. When he brought he flyer home from school, he asked me every day if I had signed him up yet. Mind you this was at least 2 months of asking, he brought it home the beginning of August and the sign-up were not until the end of September. He had a clinic on the basics to start off the season, and then they had games for 5 weeks. he had so much fun. The team only won one game, but I just asked if he had fun after every game. He never said they lost, he always said, "Mom, I had so much fun today at my game!" I was so grateful to the coach for teaching my son that playing was not all about winning.

Cayden is a good little player, when he pays attention. He made a ton of plays where he pulled the flag of the other team members. He was not so good with the running, but he does not want to practice either. He thinks that he should just be good at it like the other kids. He just would argue with me when I told them that the other kids practiced running at home. Oh well, maybe he will be a lawyer like his brother Jared.
