Saturday we celebrated Kaitlyn's 9th birthday with her friends at our house.
I decided this year that making jewelry was the answer. (Very quiet too!) I didn't tell Kaitlyn my plans so she would be surprised with her friends. They had fun making bracelets and necklaces.
They were all very creative and had good designs.
Poor Gavin didn't last long after I pulled him a chair to sit. Thank you Kristen for coming for the day with Halle, Gavin and Isaac. Also Grandpa Dan and Grandma Pam. Kaitlyn was sad to see you guys go.
This is what these to crazy kiddos did most of the time. Lily and Gavin are too much. They play really well together which was good since Gav man wasn't digin' the girlie party.
Thanks for all the clothes. Kaitlyn was loving them all. She needed them badly.
Can you say "DRAMA"! And the Academy Award goes to Kaitlyn Williams!!!
Lots of gifts. Great art stuff. Another passion of hers.
Kaitlyn is collecting snow globes now. She loves them :)
Kristen, Jolene and baby Leah
Cake time!
We hope your wish comes true! Love you Kaitlyn. Happy Birthday! :)

My girls were so ready to go trick or treating. We decided to go to Jaime's neighborhood this year so we knocked on a few doors in our neighborhood before we left. The girls were so excited to be with their cousins.
Katie was having fun for the camera. She has never been shy.
It took Isabel a while to get into character. She didn't want to cheer until I told her she looked boring in all the pictures I was taking.
Lily was throwing her hips all over the place. I had to tell her to tone it down a bit. It's funny how different each one of my children are. She does make a good Wonder Woman but there's a good reason why she doesn't have a rope!
This is the other $2 shirt I bought. I made her hair bow last minute. I didn't want her to be called a boy with all that orange and black. 
Lily and Luana were so cute together. They were holding hands pretty much the whole time. They get along really well and that is nice to see.
This is Ryan and Aaron. They claim to be Shrinking Adults but what ever they are it didn't cost a thing so who cares. They are wearing their dad's clothes. Jaime said that Ryan looks more like Indiana Jones.
Still going strong! My girls pumpkins were getting a little heavy and I refused to hold them so I told them that meant they must be done. I never heard another word about it.
Jaime and her Angel Carrie.
Lily and Luana. As you can see, Luana had enough of her costume. 
Wednesday we went to our Ward Halloween party but we were late getting there this year so we only made it in time for the trunk or treat. We were making good time until we forgot to get candy to pass out which made me late picking up Kona from the groomers. Then I came home to Katie upset because Cleo grabbed her costume and broke a ribbon off so I had to sit and sew that back on. Lily on the other hand couldn't find her headband to her costume because she decided to take it out of the bag the day before and lost it. We finally found it under my bed. (Don't ask me?) All I can say is we were lucky to make an appearance. I just love Halloween!
Kaitlyn is a witch (no pun intended), Isabel is a High School Musical 3 cheerleader and Lillian is Wonder Woman. It was funny because last week in the car we were rushing to get to a soccer game and things were not going my way and I yell out "I'm not Wonder Woman" and Lily screams "I am". How can you argue with that? We all just started laughing. The funny thing is that she was dead serious!
I had to take a picture of Cleo even though she never left the car. Chad stayed and passed out candy while I went with the girls to trunk or treat. I didn't know what to dress Cleo in this year so I gave up and bought two $2 shirts and $2 pants and Babies r Us. It's hard to spend a lot when she is only going to wear it a few times.
Isabel was curious of what was in this trunk. Nothing really scares her except maybe haunted houses. Katie on the other hand screams and squeals over everything. Lily too :)
When we got home Chad played with Cleo while the girls tried to wind down before going to bed after having a fun time.
Isabel would sleep in her costume if we let her. She is the only one we have to make change out of hers. She loves HSM3. When she went with her friend Avery to see the movie, she wore her jacket. That's all I would allow. Could you imagine if she wore her whole costume to the theatre? I guess it would be like those Star Wars people who get all dressed up.
Kaitlyn can part with her dress but she has been attached to the hat and broom. She loved that her broom was purple.
