Alanna's class Halloween Party...

Ms. Kimberly is the best teacher! We are so lucky that Jackson, Paul, and now Alanna get to have her. She has a love for learning and makes everything so fun and creative for the kids!

Alanna and Lucy have been best school friends for the past two years!

Uncle David's Wedding...

David and Ashlyn got married at a venue in Provo and then had a nice dinner and reception there too. But, with the Williamson boys, it's all about decorating (destroying) the groom's car.

Vaseline under the door handles, confetti inside, peanut butter and shaving cream rubbed everywhere...what a mess. And, they let all of the kids help. 

Dan with a nasty smelling fish to tie to the back of the getaway car.

James wrote a message in bologna. Gross!

Scarecrow Festival...

We went to tour the Scarecrow Festival at Thanksgiving Point with Lynsey and cousins. Most of the were so creative and fun! Maybe Jackson will make one to enter for the contest next year!!

Perkins Halloween Party 2018...

This is Luke's gigantic pumpkin that he grew himself! He actually did this thing where he took pictures of it everyday or something and then put it all together so you could see the progression of growth. So cool!

Jill sent some more fun candy and ice cube molds. These are homemade Reese's.

Luke and Andrea took the younger kids to spend the night, and the older boys were at mom and dad's house. It was kind of nice to be able to set up in peace and quiet!

This is priceless...Charlie and baby Bode!

Grandma Ce-Ce bought Alanna this jester costume with the make up and wig too. Alanna had never been so excited about a costume before!

Kylo Ryn and Rae

Baby Bode

Jackson was Vladmir Putin. Paul was Hopper from Stranger Things. Peter is Iron Man, Max is a Storm Trooper, and Charlie is Captain America!

Grandma Ce-Ce and Poppy are Cone Heads. I'm a Cookie Monster, and James is a Sloth...very fitting for us both I think!

Charlie LOVES poop cookies. These were a special edition... Spooky Poop! They were probably the kid's favorite treat of the night!

We filled up balloons with Hi Chew candies and the kids got to throw darts at the balloons. This game was a huge hit!

Luke was the Biggest Piggy in our pie eating contest, again!

Blaze's Baptism...

Williamson Cousins

We had an Italian Soda bar and Jackson was the bar tender. He did a great job mixing drinks, and I think some of the kids had like 3 sodas! We also had chocolate chip cookies, and sugar cookies shaped in "8"s. 

Rainbow themed for to symbolize baptism! Alanna and Blaze helped make the tissue paper flowers and did such a good job!

Wow...a normal smile from James!

But, he just couldn't keep it up.

Paul gave a talk on baptism, and Jackson and Deklin Checketts played a duet of "When I am Baptized". Gabe and Silas Checketts were also baptized with Blaze which was awesome since we have known them since they were born! Silas and Blaze even share the same birthday!

I know this kid is going to do amazing things in this life! He already loves reading his scriptures and every Primary teacher he's had so far says he is always the first to raise his hand to answer questions and that he's so smart! He loved having so many family members there to support him!

This girlie has a smile worth gold!

Kaia and Alanna are always up to shenanigans!

I had this great idea to tarp off the back porch and put a portable heater out there. It actually worked out great and so much warmth was generated that we could keep the basement door open and help heat the inside of the house! Pretty cool since it was about 55 degrees and windy outside!

Lynsey and Eva

Grandpa Joe and Grandma Leslie stayed with us for a couple of days and the kids had fun playing card games with them. The Lombardi's gave Blaze a card game called "Book of Mormon Battles" that he's obsessed with playing!
