Random Moments in Oct.

No explanation necessary! 1st snow and tongue catching attempts!

Cade hits a deer and totals the little Nissan. Blessing in disguise!

Switched Halloween Fashion Show
Hotel pool swimming with our favorite cousin Keaton. My camera died so this is all I got for the weekend. My Mom & Dad came over and we all loved the quick visit.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
We actually had great weather, Dad G. handed out candy while I took the kids trick o' treating, then to a carnival at the Elementary school, LeAnn (& family) took the kids trick o' treating afterwards, while Cade & I got things ready for our annual Halloween BBQ (tradition carried over from AZ). It was fun and we all hung out, ate, and laughed the night away while the kids ran off the candy high. I bought waaaay too many hot dogs though!

My AZ fix & trip with Dad week

Oh how I miss the sunshine, so when Cade mentioned he'd be a day and a half in northern AZ, I said, "Can I come?" So we kept Leah out of school for a week and took off. We got to be in Anthem for a quick 24 hours, (long enough to see lots of awesome people, outlet shopping, and to try to get the secret recipes from Dara Thai). Then toured around southern Utah and Colorado while Cade set up shows for his sales teams. Plus, I re-read Twilight right before the premier so it was a great trip and the kids were awesome.First sign of snow and the kids want to play in it.
So there's a mini snowball fight outside the hotel.
Colorado is gorgeous! I wouldn't want to drive these windy roads in a snow storm but seeing the wind whisk the snow off the tops on a sunny day was fantastic!

"You wanna piece of me?"

This is the picture after being warned that playing in the snow in her flip-flops won't be fun. She walked quite a way in and then turned and said, "It's freezing, come get me out of here!" We are cruel parents and made her stand there for this beautiful picture. :)

We LUV the Aunties

Just random moments that haven't been put up yet that are too cute. We didn't get a pic with Aunt Suz but she took the little girls on a shopping and treat trip that they all loved. I'm really thankful for all these Galloway women!

My little monkey's and me

Here's our little photo shoot. My kids are poser's.

I didn't put the kissing ones in of Cade & I, they just aren't the same post wedding pictures. :)

We Are Family - featuring the Galloway's

This needs very little introduction. We love to get together and I think this is one of my favorite photo shoots of the family. Pretty good lookin' bunch even if Kelly's in the picture... hee hee just kidding Dad, you're pretty too. :) LeAnn, Nora, & Clay
Melissa, Cash, & Chip
Tom, Seth, Trey, Samantha, & Suzanne
The bunny ears!
The "Look...up in the sky"
I think this was make a funny face but I'm not so sure, on some of them. :)

Leah's 7!!!

We headed to MT early to have a High School Musical birthday with the Galloway Grandparents. They put together a fun little party for her and although it took us a lot longer to get there, we like to think it just added to the suspense of the day. :) Thanks to Grandma G and Nora (with grandkids) for being our party people. :) Note: the "real diamond necklace L... my very own bling" from Grandma Littlefield is around her neck that we opened earlier.




Rock Band w/ the Galloway's

Thanks to Chip there were hours of Rock Band rotations through all the adults and a few future rockers. Although Chip brought the game, he got very little play time overall and the true addicts were LeAnn, Tom, and whoever else would stay up in the wee hours of the night to ROCK! Jack Black would be proud. :)
