Girls Night Out

Last night we had a girls night out. We had Becca, Baylie, Cami, Shaersti & Anne- a group of really excited girls. We did a lot of fun things and everyone had a blast.
We made cupckakes...

Played games and wrestled....
Ate pizza...

Did GIRL things...

Slept over in one big bed...

Painted our toes and fingers...

And had a bubble bath.

I've never done a video so I hope this works. This is a small glimpse into what the girls did all night. They must have ran around the kitchen chasing each other 200 times.

Becca's Baptism

Rebecca, my little (and only) sister just turned 8. Best of all, she got baptized. Isn't she cute? Amelia went to her house before church and did her hair and she did a great job. Becca- you are such a loving little girl and I'm proud of the awesome decision you made to be baptized. Thanks for being such a great aunt to my little girls.

The Annual Emett Pumpkin Party

Every year we have a big pumpkin party where we eat chili and carve pumpkins. We line up our pumpkins and cheer for everyone's pumpkin then we go to a huge prize bucket and get to choose prizes. It's always a lot of fun. Thanks, mom, for continuing such a fun tradition in our family.

Anneliese next to all the pumpkins. Scott helped her carve the one closest to her foot. Everyone's beautiful creations.

Shaersti is pointing at her pumpkin on the top right that she carved all by herself.

I'm using a cheat sheet- naughty mom!

Shaersti's cute pumpkin.

This is a totally inappropriate picture but I just had to post it. This is Shaersti's little bum and her dirty feet. This is how she always looks after an hour at Grandma Jill's- her favorite place in the world.

From left to right, this is Josh, Kolby, Ben and Zach all carving silly pumpkins- we still have no idea what a few of them were.

Caramel Apples

Once again, we (the creators!!!) got together to make more yummy food. These caramel apples only turned out beautiful thanks to Amelia. We all enjoyed eating them, though.

Making Sugar Cookies

Me, my mom, Amelia and a few of our kids got together to make sugar cookies. My mom makes the best sugar cookies in the world and it's alwyas fun (and yummy) to make them. The kids had a blast, made a huge mess and used all the sprinkles!

Shaertsi coated hers in frosting (of course). Max (Jason and Amelia's boy) dumped an entire bottle of sprinkles on one cookie!

Anneliese just liked playing with the dough in the flour.

What a fun mess!

The Big News

We began trying to get pregnant in May and just found out that it finally worked! Yes...we are expecting a new baby in June. Although I am only about 17 minutes pregnant (as my mom says), we are really excited to be getting a new baby. Shaersti is so ready to have a new baby at our house and she is really excited and wants to know everything about it. We only told her this morning but she has checked my belly 3 times today to see if it's growing yet. I think it will be a really long 9 months for her! She is determined that if we have a girl her name will be Melody. But way more than that, she Really wants a little brother (she says she already has a little sister) and she is just sure that his name will be Knuckles. Pretty silly!

Halloween Houses

As a form of entertainment, Grandma Jill bought Halloween houses to decorate. The kids had a lot of fun decorating them but I can't exactly say that they turned out pretty. Whoever thought to put black frosting into a child's decorating kit not only has never had kids, but has also never been around them. What's so wrong with light orange?
