The Schiess Family

So Grandma Abbott sent Eric a darling Birthday card. They never forget any of our birthdays. In the card she wrote how much she loves our blog and she hopes we never stop doing it....... Then I remembered, it has been several months since I updated it and I am feeling pretty bad. So Grandma - thanks for the reminder!!!! We love you!! Well, a lot has happened around here that last six months. Lots of fun, memories, and craziness.

October 2010 - Let The Holidays Begin

We had a great Halloween this year. The kids are all still trick or treating! We got quite a stash of candy bars. Thanks to Mike & Elsie, we even got BIG candy bars. I don't think we were allowed to trick or treat at 13, but we have let Kylan. Usually one of us adults goes with them and they all trick or treat with their cousins. They aren't being a problem or causing trouble, so I figure "What The Heck"!! We always end up at Eric's sister's house after and the cousins love to party, party, party!!! Thanks for sharing your house Amy! Many great memories have been shared there. Kylan dressed up as a hunter, Chloee as a princess and Ghavan as a soccer player. They all looked great. I am a room mom for Ghavan's class and got to help with the craft this year. We also decorated cupcakes at home a couple times. That is always a messy kind of fun!

Ghavan and his two buddies.... Carson & Bracken. I am so grateful he has good friends!!

The kids and Grandma Dortha. We love Dortha very much and have only missed one year trick or treating at her house since Ky was a baby. She is the mother of Craig Jessop (he used to conduct the Mormon Tabernacle Choir). We LOVE and ADORE her very much. The one year we missed her house, she told us the next day that she waited for hours and we didn't come. We haven't missed her since. It wouldn't be Halloween without Trick Or Treating at her house.

We always hook up with Tori, Jer and the kids at Mom's house on Halloween night. What a wonderful tradition. Being raised far from all of our cousins, I really appreciate that our kids are so close with their cousins from both sides of the family. My kids call their cousins their best friends! This is Rilee (NINJA), Chloee (PRINCESS... Imagine That) and Halle the Good Witch! Love you kiddos!!

Cupcake Decorating With Johnny!! The kids had a total blast. I found these cans frosting with the decorating tips. I am sure they have been around for years, but obviously I was oblivious to them. They were at Wal-mart on this end cap that just jumps out at your kids. Then the price is so good, that you just have to buy them. It was well worth the money. They had a blast! I don't want to say how many they ate, but who cares right????? Happy Halloween!
