Lexa Lue!

This is my funny child! She has said some of the funniest things lately... When her Grandma was asking what they were going to be for Halloween, Lex said that Caleb was going to be "an elephant or a terd-bucket!"(she doesn't say her "R"s, so it was even funnier!) Yeah, I know that's not a very nice thing to call people, but coming from her, it was hilarious! Then one day, as we were going somewhere in the car, Cole was asking the kids, "Who loves Caleb?" (This is one of our games, to ask "who loves " and then each of the kids names) Anyway, they all said, "I do!" And Cole asked Lex, "Why do you love Bubba?" (It's what the twins call him) and she said "'Cuz I love Terd-buckets!" Then again one night in the car, Lex had her light on above her seat, and Cole asked her why she needed her light on. She said "'Cuz I'm special!" Then the other night at dinner, she was so whiney and had been all day long. So, finally I said, I really don't want to listen to whiney bum any more!" And she said, in a VERY whiney voice, "I'm not whiney bum!" To which I replied, "Who are you, then?" Her answer? "I am Lexa Mary whiney bum!" (again with no "r"s) Of course we all started laughing, which made her even WHINIER! We just love our little Lexa Lue, though! She has the best facial expressions, and always has that glint in her eye that says she's up to no good! And even though she's our most STUBBORN CHILD, she's also very loving and comforts Karly when she's sad , even if she's the one that made her sad! She's also her Daddy's little shadow... she doesn't leave his hip pocket when he's home. Here are some of my Fave pics of Alexa:

Snuggling with Karly

She loved her binki the most, I think, even though all my kids were very attached to binki's!

She has the best cheesey grin! This is her holding cousin McKayla.

That's my Lexa!

More Halloween

I know, I said I was glad Halloween was over, but then we had our annual soup party at Cole's parents house on the 2nd, 'cuz everyone was doing other things on Halloween when we usually have it. Anyway, Grandma wanted to see them in their costumes, so we had to do it all again! So here are some more pictures of the fun!

The twin kittys

I did a little more fun stuff on their faces, but Karly didn't like it so we had to wash it off and "Do it like nast night," as she put it.

Taylee wanted her face done differently, too.

This is Tay with little cousin, Kennedee, the cowgirl!

Here's the whole crew:(L-R)

Caleb, Jaxton, Taylee

Karly, Addison, Macklie

Alexa, Luke, Kennedee

Then Grandma brought out the Halloween gingerbread house kits!

Great face, Gav!

Then we all had fun licking the orange and black frosting off our fingers and making our teeth black!

Pretty, Emily!

The finished products! Some of them fell apart because we didn't read the directions that said to wait 15 min. after you put the frames togetherbefore you decorate it!

Haleluja, Halloween is Over!

So, it's fun to dress up the kids, etc. But it just seems like a lot of "to do" for an hour of Trunk or Treating, which we don't have any pictures of, because Cole was in charge of that and he "forgot."

So here are the kids in their costumes...

Taylee wanted to be a Zombie Bride, the twins (Alexa, Karly) wanted

to be a kitty and a tiger, and of course Caleb wanted to be a hunter.

When I suggested we put some fake blood on him, he didn't want to because "hunters shoot, they don't get shot." But then he came up with this story of how he was hunting a rhino, and the bullet bounced of a rock and hit him in the face! And it wouldn't have been complete without all the sound affects that boys make for everything!

I must say I'm proud of the tiger stripes I did on Karly!

I ran out of time to do leopard spots on Lex,

so she just has spots, but still a cute little kitty!

We went to our friends house after Trunk or Treat to

have soup and just hang out. At about 10:00,

Lex just couldn't stay awake any longer!
