Ethan's Eagle Court of Honor!!!
Last AWESOME thing of our weekend...Ethan's Eagle Court of Honor!!!
We were super excited to share this night with 2 other boys in our ward--Alex & Jameson. I adore all 3 of these boys--Ethan of course, but all 3 are currently piano students of mine. And I just love their moms too. It made planning this night tons easier having others to help.
I am super proud of this boy of mine:

Halloween 2015
And to finish out our Halloween, TRICK OR TREATING!!!
All of my kids went different directions tonight which meant I got to stay home--which was really nice because I was EXHAUSTED and still had to make treats for Ethan's Court of Honor that would be happening the next day:)
So here are all my kiddos in their trick-or-treating groups:

So here are all my kiddos in their trick-or-treating groups:
 |
| Carlie went with Lois to a "Teen Halloween" Party |
 |
| Max went out with his neighborhood friends--the Thurmans:) |
 |
| Max was Michael Meyers--he took this role VERY seriously... he didn't talk (just like in the movies), and he moved very slowly and stiffly and breathed heavy:) He came home early just to scare people on our front porch:) |
 |
| Tatum went out with her neighborhood friends (& Grandpa Frank) Sophia & Elaine |
 |
| My husband did Tatum's make-up. He feels like he's missed his life's calling as a make-up artist for "The Walking Dead" |
 |
| Ethan & Cordry were so funny this year. They had a grand plan and they carried it out. They started the night as a judge and the Terminator but then came home, dressed in different costumes and hit the same houses not once, but TWO more times:) Crazy boys:) |
Tatum's Baptism!!!
We baptized our baby on HALLOWEEN!!! It was an amazingly CRAZY weekend in our home but a weekend that Tatum has been looking forwards to since January of this year!
At our "Great to Be 8" meeting in January we learned that our assigned baptism date was on Oct. 31st and Tatum was absolutely ecstatic about it and wanted to plan her baptism THAT night in January! We were able to push it off for a couple of months but by May of this year, her baptism was completely planned!
Tatum picked everything from the prayers & talks down to the pianist (Max) and chorister (Ethan). There was LOTS of practicing going on the 2 weeks leading up to her baptism but it all came together perfectly.
Our morning was quite hectic as Tatum had a softball game from 10-11 am. We pushed her baptism back to 11:30 (since she was the only one being baptized this day) so that she could make both. Well, we had to leave her game in the last inning but her team was in a good spot--and they held on and WON!!! So we came straight from the game, washed off her eye-black, and got her dressed in her white suit for the next awesome thing of the day:

| Apparently we forget to tell Papa Frank that he was confirming Tatum:) Poor guy! SURPRISE!!! I should have gotten him a program:) |
 |
| Ethan cracked me up! He MADE Max practice his hymns over and over again while he conducted. It all paid off because they were both AMAZING! |
 |
| Such a stud in hi little bow tie:) |

| Uncle Kenny & Grandma Donna |
 |
| Natalie & Tatum The Parks were so kind to come to this:) |

Pumpkin Carving!!!
Keeping with our tradition, we carved pumpkins with the Park family again this year! It's something that my kids look forward to every year! The Parks were the hosts this year so we got to carve pumpkins in their beautiful brand new home--outside on the back porch of course:) Here are some pictures of our fun evening:

| Silly Girls were more interested in dancing than the carving:) |
