Kallen's 2nd Birthday and Halloween 2012

The last few weeks have been pretty crazy plus our camera broke so didn't have a camera to take any pictures. My dad came out for a visit and is letting us use his till we get a new one so was able to get a few photos. I'm hoping to get back into taking pics and blogging as that is the best way to keep everyone up to date on us. Kallen celebrated his 2nd Birthday on the 26th. I can't believe he's 2 already! He's talking a bit more and loves to play jokes on people. He loves to laugh and make others laugh. He is what I imagine Larry Dean being like as a kid. He got a new basketball hoop and several types of balls as those are his favorite toy. He also got some clothes as he is constantly outgrowing them. We got him an ice cream cake from Cold Stone which was super yummy. I think he had a good day with family and toys. My dad came for a visit that turned into helping us move. We moved to a smaller house just about a block away. It's still in the same ward which is what we wanted. We love our ward and the friends we've made here. We thought of moving to UT but decided not too. Maricopa feels like home and we like it here. Plus now that it's fall/winter that's the best time of year! We left our 4000 square foot home for a 3000 square foot home. I think once we get moved in and settled we will really like it. I like the layout of it and it has a little patch of grass in the backyard! The kids love the backyard because of the grass. So now that after 2 weeks of moving things over I can now unpack it all. I have a few days off so hope to get quite a bit of it done. Here's hoping anyways. I'll take photos once it's "done". I love my dad and the friends (Malan's) that helped us move. I'm so grateful. Jen was also a big help. She will be moving to her own place which brings mixed emotions. I've loved having her here but will be happy for her to have her own place too. She will still be close to hang out with or have help if needed. Larry hasn't been feeling well so he has an appt with a neurosurgeon next week. We are hoping they might figure out what's going on. His Leukemia is stable so we're told so that's good. The older 3 girls are living in UT and seem to be doing very well. Kamden and Kinsee are loving school! They had their class Halloween Parties on Halloween Day and I was able to have that day off to volunteer. I love volunteering at their school. One of the joys of working at night. After the school parties we got ready for our Ward party! It didn't have the turn out last year did but it was still fun. Good good and plenty of candy for the kids. Kam was Batman, Kinsee Belle was Belle, Kai was Rapuntzel (wedding day), and Kal was Spiderman. I think they all turned out so cute! I was a last minute Vampire Queen and thought it turned out ok. Hope y'all are enjoying the Fall and had a Happy Halloween! Now on to the rest of the holiday season with being Thankful! So Thankful for my Family (near and far)! We are who we are because of all of you! Trying to be better each day. Love ya Saling and Eoff Parents, Saling and Eoff Siblings, Larry, Kaijsa, Kaitlyn, Kira, Kamden, Kinsee, Kaileigh, Kallen and all the nieces and nephews (cousins)!
