Hilarious Happenings at the Harris Household

Halloween Cuties!

Okay so it has been awhile, go figure.  But I have some fun Halloween cuties to post today.  We had our annual ward Trunk or Treat on Saturday and this is what my family looked like.  First we have the ever adorable Carly sporting her Pumpkin costume.

Next we have the ever brave Knight/Dragon Slayer Ryan.

We now have the beauteous Queen Sarah.

The fearsome Ninja Andrew.

Our live in SnowAngel Melissa.

And last but not least, Sgt Scott with flack jacket and all.

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Carly turned One!

Last Wednesday on September 30th, our little Carly girl turned one!  Scott was gone all day and then all night, so we didn't get to celebrate it then.  On Sunday we all went to Jeanine's house and had a wonderful dinner and had Carly's birthday party!  She is so cute and is getting so big!  Here are the pictures from Sunday.

OH the JOY!

So because they will be starting school tomorrow, the kids asked Scott for a Father's Blessing.  Scott gave Sarah hers first.  She will be starting Kindergarten and is pretty excited about it.  Andrew, who will be in 2nd grade, was next.  He loves getting this special blessing from his dad.  When Andrew went and sat in the chair, Ryan turned to me and said, "After Andrew it's my turn."  We all smiled and then Scott gave Andrew his blessing.  True to his word, as soon as Andrew got down from the chair, Ryan climbed up.  He was getting a blessing.  So Scott, being the amazing father that he is, gave Ryan a blessing too.  Ryan did so well.  He didn't squirm and become impatient like I thought he would.  He loved it.   What a great feeling as a mother to these wonderful children, to know that they know how important these Father's Blessings are.  Oh the JOY!

Our new baby...

Yes it is another van!  WA HOOO!  We have been particularly blessed these last few months and have been able to purchase this van.  The ad was placed late Thursday night.  I emailed them on Friday morning, we looked at it Friday night, gave them the money and drove it home.  I am so fortunate to have this vehicle as we were down to only the truck between Scott and I.  That wasn't working out very well.  Welcome to our new addition!

Under Duress...

So I have been asked numerous times by my mother to update this blog.  Sorry, I just didn't find the time to go through hundreds of recent photos to edit, resize and post, but here it is.

Our Carlsbad trip.

The view from our campsite.

Andrew chasing Sarah with seaweed.

Andrew building a sandcastle.

All the boys working on the sandcastle.

Can't be here and not get buried in the sand.

Just hangin out.

OH and the best strawberries EVER are found here.

Just ask Carly.

Enjoying hot chocolate and smores.  Yummmmmmy!

THE END

Happy Birthday to RYAN!!

Oh my littlest boy is 3 today!  How fun this little man is.  He woke up this morning and came into our room.  As he was laying in bed with us, Sarah got his mama bear and then Andrew went and got his other bears.  Andrew threw them at him and said sorry.  Without missing a beat Ryan replied, "Sorry doesn't make the noodles."  Now if you are a fan of Kung Fu Panda then you know this is a line that Po's dad says to him when he comes down the stairs at the beginning.  Anywho, he says this and I just bust out laughing.  Then he says, "Just kidding."  This kid just makes me happy!! 

OH how we love you RyMan!!
