McKay's Baptism Day . . .

 I am so excited that McKay made the choice to be baptized.

 Steven baptized McKay and my nephew Jeff helped Steven in the font.

 McKay and me (Mom).

 My sweet parents are so supportive of my family.

 I had a great support from my family at the baptism.

 Steven and me and our 4 children.

 Baby Staehli, our newest addition.  She was born in September to Brittany and Tyler Nelson.

 We took the kids to McDonald's for lunch, this was McKay's choice.

 Faith sure loves to climb.

Carving Pumpkins, School Parade and Halloween . . .

 Faith and McKay love carving pumpkins, with the help of their sisters.

 Jessika wanted a frankenstein pumpkin.

 Faith as Snow White for Halloween.

 McKay as Luigi without the mustache.

 Jessika as a pretty pirate.

 I took all three of the kids trick-or-treating.  Taylor was on a date with her friend, Paul.

We stopped by my parents house at the end to say Happy Halloween.

McKay Turns Eight . . .

 McKay had a fun birthday party with friends.  He was the cutest Luigi ever.

 There were a total of 10 boys and we played several games outside, plus a scavenger hunt, up and down our streets.

 I made the cupcakes.

 McKay's actual birthday was on a Sunday.

 McKay's sisters.

 McKay and Jessika.

 McKay and Taylor.  We have a fun tradition in our home.  We give each person or child 5 gifts, one from each of us, then we get to have a picture with the birthday boy/girl or parent.

 McKay wanted a pumpkin cake so Taylor helped me with the lettering and face.

Happy Birthday sweet McKay.  You are finally 8.

Fall Leaves . . .

 Steven and I drove up to Midway in September to look at the leaves changing colors.

 Breathtaking view.

We took a short walk up a trail and then went to lunch at the Zermatt Restaurant.

Midway Vacation . . .

 My parents Swiss condo in Midway.  Taylor and Jessika stayed with friends, so we just took McKay and Faith.

 The unique LDS Chapel where we went to church on Sunday.
