Cassie is 8!

8 years ago today Cassie was born!! She is growing so fast and is such a good big sister. We have a fun day planned!! We are doing a little bowling then going to a baptism, then cake and ice cream after dinner. Happy Birthday Cassie Bear!

She can see!

Jessica is seeing better these days. Her school did the vision screening test and suggested we get her eyes checked. So in we went. I was speechless when the my eye dr office told me how much a childs eye examination is... $225.00!! What??!! I checked around and that is the going rate if you don't have vision coverage! I was outraged. We happened to stop by fred meyer for a few things, and there is vista optical right there. I stopped and talked to them and they said if Jessie is able to communicate well that they could do a regular examine for $65. That was music to my ears. Jessie did well and the dr was very kind and patient. The dr says she can see fine up close but things in the distance are a blurry mess. So after a few fun trips to different places to check out out their frames, we finally decided on two pairs from costco. We picked them up on Tuesday and she is so proud of them!!

Treat or treat

Our 50's girlies.




Big Grandma and Grandpa brought Lane and joined us for the trunk or treat/chili cook off for our ward for the 2nd year!
We got 3rd place in the chilicook off!!! The kids got soo much candy there!! They had some game rooms too, with a haunted maze. There was a brother dressed as an ape at the door. Ben and Abby would not go anywhere near him!! Ben would not even open his eyes, he would just say, "scared momma scared".

Jer took the kids out on Monday, they went to a few friends homes for their halloween experience. We have some neighbors who wanted to scare the trick or treaters. So the son, who is 6'5" tall put out a strobe light and he dressed in a red and black costume that didn't have a face... it was creepy. He would stand stone still with the bowl of candy by his feet and wait until kids got right there, and he would move! So many kids were beyond scared! The neighbor came over just after jer left with the kids and said he didn't want to scare our kids, and gave me a bag of treats for them. I didn't tell Jer, so they went over there and they got so scared. Halloween treated us good, it was a lot of fun!... anybody need any candy?!
