Happy Halloween!!!

Our Hallween was done by 8pm! Kade got a bucket full of candy and I got a few picturs of Kade and Kamryn in their costumes. We walked up and down a couple streets and Kamryn fell asleep so I went back home to pass out some candy. We didn't get to the pumkin carving like I thought we would. Maybe we will do some pumkin carving a little late this year, maybe tomorrow? Besides what else am I going to do with 3 pumpkins???

My favorite of those two!

Awwww.....what a nice big brother!

Yesterday Kade, Kamryn and I went to Mesa to see Jenna, Sumner, and SarahJane. We dressed up the girls in their witch costumes and did a little photo shoot. SarahJane was not into getting her picture taken.
I think this one is funny, it looks like Kamryn is laughing at SJ running away!
And there she goes again!

Now it looks like Kamryn is making silly faces behind her back!

Out little witches!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween!

It's been a while since I updated my blog.....

On Tuesday we went to see Kooper and put some new Sunflowers in his vase and I was so very happy when I got there and saw that the vase hadn't been ran over and that his little purple guy with his sign saying, "I'm a Big Brother" was still there! I think that it was the first time I left the cemetery and been at peace. I usually end up crying the whole way home sad because I don't have my little monkey with us and mad at whoever messed up his vase or stole a decoration we had left there. Of course I was sad that he wasn't here but I think I am becoming more at peace with it everyday. I miss him like crazy though!

I think it brought on a dream about him. I hardly ever have dreams about him. I don't really remember the dream, but I remember our family being together picking Kooper running up to me and scooping him up and hugging him in my arms...a little 15 month old boy. The only strange thing was that he had blonde hair! It was as if he had never left us. Suddenly I woke up and he was gone, only I was looking for him. For a few seconds I actually believed he was here. I searched in the bed frantic and within seconds realized that it was only my dream.

It doesn't seem strange to me that I woke up thinking he was here, because many times after I had him I would wake up in the middle of the night and wonder if it was all a dream, or nightmare. And I would put my hand on my stomach and realize that he is not here. That hasn't happened in a while.

What I would give to hold him in my arms again! My Kooper! Tomorrow we are carving pumpkins. I bought 3 pumpkins, one for each of my kids.

Some other Halloween fun that we have been up to is today Kade and I made some yummy dirt dessert with gummy worms and all! It was YUMMY!

It is weird to think back to last year. Thinking of the fall and going through our first holidays without Kooper. I think it will be a little easier this year, but who knows I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I am excited for the fall to be here. The cool weather, and all the fun Holidays! I am already planning for Thanksgiving, and Halloween isn't over yet! For any of you that know me well, you know I am not a fan of Thanksgiving food (mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams...just to name a few) So this year if we end up having it at our house, we will be having a "Perry" Thanksgiving dinner with non-traditional Thanksgiving food. I am kind of excited for it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Kade had a blast last night! He didn't do too much trick-or-treating, but enough to get way too much candy! He loved helping us pass out candy. We sat out in front of the garage and Kade got to see all the fun costumes. As each trick-or-treater thanked him, he always said, "You're welcome." He was so cute, acting all grown up.

He loved being Batman! Right before we went outsite he looked up at me, and said, "Mommy, Batman has to go potty!"

Halloween Acrylic Album

A few weeks ago I went to a scrapbook convention with Kerry and Amy from my ward. It was tons of fun. I wish I had lots of money to buy all the cute things that were there. I came across this cute acrylic Halloween album and told myself, "No you have spent more than enough money today." So while Kerry and Amy spent time looking in that booth I stayed back and thought I would keep myself from buying. So to keep me busy I called Ryan. I told him how good I was being by staying back and not tempting myself by looking at it. Then Kerry decided to buy it. I really wanted it so I justified it saying, "It will be just like a Halloween decoration. I can put it out with all my Halloween stuff and then put it away every year." So after much contemplation I bought it! I never regreted it since, so that's always a plus since I am an impulse buyer! Ask anyone in my family. I usually return 50% of the things I purchase. Unless it is food for the family!

So Kerry, Connie (Kerry's best friend), and I got together today to put together our cute albums. It was tons of fun and now I feel like I have accomplished something today! My album is a progressive one. I am going to add a photo every year. It all starts with Kade's first Halloween. There are a few pages that aren't complete because I have to wait for the picture first, but I thought I would show it off.
