Better Safe Than Sorry!!!

We have decided to make our blog private. We've been thinking about it for awhile now, and finally we really are! Since we use this blog more for a journal/scrapbook, we include a lot of personal information on it that, sadly now a days, should not be available to everyone in the world. We would love to have everyone be able to keep looking at it and keep "tabs" on us! I know when I'm "blog hopping" I love to look at other's blogs, and hate when I get that "PRIVATE" window that pops up, but like I said, better safe than sorry! I know there are a lot of people who look at our blog and don't leave comments(and that's okay cuz I do it too), but I need you to give me your email address in a comment if you would like me to send you an invite to continue looking at our blog...not everyone at once, now....:):):) Please leave it as soon as possible, I want to have it changed to private by Thanksgiving! By the way I copied and pasted this whole post from my sister-in-law, Ashley! Thanks Ash!!! I like the way she worded it, we have been talking a lot about the dangers of blogging lately. I want everyone to still be able to look at our blog but like she said it is better to be safe than sorry!!!

Saturday Night... Still Partying!!!

My Family Played How To Host A Murder, 50's theme. It turned out really fun, although the game itself was a little confusing! After we got done with our game we decided to play another one that is just called murder. It's not a board game it's just a game where you have a narrator, everyone closes their eyes and then the narrator picks two murders and two cops. Then you have to try and hide your identity and as a group identify the murders. It was really fun, we stayed up playing till about two in the morning. So all and all Halloween was a success!!!

My Brother Clint was a brainy guy that actually built bombs. And there is Nate and Ledge again. I think in this picture they are both watching T.V. They sure are not looking at the camera!!

Katie, Jared's wife, who has since this picture had her baby, was supposed to be the nerd. Or smart girl named Pris. Jared was the sheriff. His costume was awesome... a little piece of paper that was cut like a star that said sheriff. Just kidding!!!

This is my sister Kaethe and her husband Scott. She was a Dancer and he was an athlete. He and I were supposed to be best friends in the game.

This is Chelsey, Clint's wife and my sister Sarah. Chelsey was the sister to the guy that died in the game and Sarah was a wild girl raised on the wrong side of the tracks. Funny! Her husband Dan was here too, somehow I failed to get a picture, he was dressed as the cool guy in a sweet leather jacket. He played in a band.

I Nate had to dress like a businessman, someone who invested in Ford. His was easy all he had to do was wear that sweater vest that I bought him to wear for real. This is the only time he has ever worn it. I guess no matter how hard I try, I can't dress him.... But at least I can Ledger!!! Ha Ha!!! Oh and also Ledger got sick of his costume fast and so he ended up wearing his Halloween PJ'S. I love PJ'S on babies.... SOOOO CUTE!!!

My family played How To Host A Murder. It turned out really fun. The theme was 50's. We all had certain parts to dress up as, my character was named Evelyn. I was supposed to dress like a cheer leader. Thanks to Chelsey I got this uniform.

Later that night my family had our Halloween party, here are some of the kids in different costumes. Olivia, Tenlee (she is a hairdresser, funny), Izzy, Dexter, Deegan, Dunkan, Ledger (he was a little hot), Brecker, and Austin. That picture is missing Desmond and Oakley, and Ryker, who were there, but not in the picture, and Brooke and Zack, my brother Ben's two. They live in Vegas, so we don't get the chance to see them all the time, but actually we still see them quite a bit. We love them!!!

So our festivities were far from over on Saturday. First Ledger and I woke up and went to work, then went to Nathans' sister Amber's baby shower. It was at Grandma and Grandpa Baldwins house again. We ate breakfast, talked and watched Amber open her gifts. She got a lot of cute things.... Now we just need to see them on her new baby!!! We just hung out there that day for a while and talked after the shower it was a lot of fun.

Halloween Day

Our game was so much fun that the adults decided to try it too. It was Marie, Ashley, Megan and Jill, in this round. It was pretty funny to watch. The adults also played a mummy game that night too. We had to wrap our spouse up using only one roll of toilet paper. Well Megan Erickson got so dizzy she almost fell down. Someone got it on video... I sure hope they post it cause it was hilarious. Everyone was laughing so hard we were crying.

Mallory and Stockton playing our game.

Here are the kids having a donut eating contest,(McKoy, Jace, Sophie, and Brecken). Nathan and I were in charge of this game at the carnival. It turned out to be really fun!!! We had other games, like a ring toss, and a cake walk. Then the kids went door-to-door to each bedroom to trick-or-treat. If you have ever been to Grandma and Grandpa Baldwins new house you know they have plenty of doors to trick-or-treat at! The night ended with a witch pinata that Nathan brought to surprise the kids with. It was really funny though because since there are so many kids they all only got one hit at her, she was kinda small.

Ok, these are the Baldwin cousins... yeah there are a lot... this is everyone except Nikki Sue and Bruce's oldest three and Ashley and Nichols' two. (left to right, top to bottom) Bailee, Conner, Spencer, Carter, Jace, Kenadee, Jaden, Ledger, McKoy, Stockton, Mallory, Chase, McKenna, Sophie, Sydney, Addison, and the one you can't see Brecken, oh and I think Emma and Trey are hiding in there somewhere...

This was at our ward trunk-or-treat. The caterpillar is Ledger, the Bumblebee is Ella, (my cousin that I work with Amanda's little girl, she is one). They were looking at me, I was trying to make them smile... I think I was scaring them...

This was my hideous costume... A polygamist... SAD!!! It was really weird because I had to run a few errands that day and people did not know what to think. I am not sure if they knew I was in costume. I kinda got treated funny. I told Nathan I hope i don't treat people different just because they dress different and have a uni brow...

After work we ran out to the Wapello Elementary School carnival. We usually go every year to see the older cousins costumes. Dunkan was a biker, Dexter was a ISU super fan, and Olivia was a vampire. I didn't get a picture of them but here are the rest of the kids. Elvis (aka- Deegan, 4), Batman ( Brecker, 3) Super woman ( Izzy, 5) Ledger 4 1/2 months, Buzz Light year ( Ryker, 17 months) Raggedy Ann ( Tenlee, 5) Donald Duck (Desmond, 5 1/2 months) Kitty cat (Oakley, 2)

This was Friday morning. Ledger was a football player and I was a polygamist. We dressed up like this for work, because we didn't want our other costumes to get all hairy. The chances of that happening in the salon are pretty good!!!
