Family fun with EVERYONE all together!

I can't express enough how fulfilling this weekend was for me.  Nothing but bliss and wonderful memories were created, and I will cherish them forever.  The best part, we got to spend the whole weekend with our sweet little AnnDee Mae!  Oh how my heart has ached to spend time with her since Missy's passing.  She helps fill the void more then anyone else can.  We wanted to have a kid fun filled time while she was here, so it was quite packed with great times.  Friday night after she got here we drove up to spend the evening at Shanna and Colemans house.  We had pizza, did some Halloween Crafts that aunt Shanna put together (which was a huge hit with the kids), talked, played, watched a movie...it was a great night.  The kids all had a big sleep over and were so excited to all be together.

Then on Saturday we went out to lunch, went to my neighborhood Trunk or Treat, took a ride on the annual traditional "Stringtown Railroad", then came back home for a big Chili dinner, football, and more games and playing.

My beautiful girls...

 Pretty tough guys here if you ask me...

 On our way to the "Trunk or Treat!"

 Rowan was so stinking cute.  Every time someone put a candy in her bag she immediately took it out and wanted to eat it, wrapper and all.  But she was loving that she could roam from car to car and get candy.  Grandma was a good helper and showed her how it was done.

 Taking a leisurely walk home while enjoying her candy...I almost got too ahead of myself and about left her behind.  

 All aboard the Nightmare Express!  Love this place.  These are some amazing people who put this together every year.  I loved the new addition of the fire breathing dragon.

 Long lines, but still having fun.

 We met Captain Jack Sparrow!  He even invited us aboard his ship for a picture.

 Finally, all ready to go!

 Our little zombies...

 On Sunday, we made the traditional Popeye Pancakes, and played it lazy until our 1pm church time.  Then it sadly was time to say goodbye to AnnDee.  We had hoped that we could take her to her mommy's grave site, but her ride home came earlier then planned and there just wasn't enough time.  Next time for sure.  Here she is in her pretty Sunday dress.

 After AnnDee left we drove to Bountiful for a little family party, then visited Missy.  It was so hard to put AnnDee's picture that she had drawn for her Mommy on her headstone with out breaking down.  It was a special moment though, one that I wish we could have shared with AnnDee, but I suppose there is a right time that will come sooner or later for that to happen.

 Playing for a few minutes in the parking lot before it was time for bed.

On to the next...Paisley had her little Halloween Parade, it was cute.  Rowan was such a joy while we waited, screaming and running away from us.

 Hello!
