A whole passle of pictures

I've thinking about all the clever and witty stories I could write about each of these pictures, but as I continue to wait for inspiration to strike, more things happen, more pics are taken, I'm getting really behind, yadayadayada.

So, this is a grand summary in photos of everything interesting we've done in the last month. Or four?

August

(sidenote - Grandpa Dean and Grandma Passiko visited this month...or...sometime around then, and somehow I don't have a single picture! I don't know how that happened. But it was great to see them!)

I really have no clue what is going on here, but I thought it looked pretty funny. Is she licking the bucket? Sniffing it? How does one understand the workings of a toddler's mind?

Lucy and Addy discover the front window.

Now this is a dog who enjoys her privacy.

Our trip to Seattle (September)

Addy had a fabulous time at the airport, and mom and dad had a fabulous time on the plane - a miracle considering the 2 hour flight delay (yeah Benadryl!).

Darling new little nephew, Bowen. A very large bed for a very tiny person.

Yeeeeee! Haircuts at Tammy's! (I think that was the sound she was making)

Arctic Willow and dad Kevin

Baby Sumo - Sam (mom Neoma) vs. Willow (mom Carol). A tough call.

Addy and her friend Noah on the way to the Aquarium. Binki's (bikini's?) and holding hands. Aaaaah young love.

And, October...

Ammon the master builder made this fun swing for Addy that she adores. You can't see her face, but she is saying "Yeeeeeeee!!" again.

This is what happens when Daddy's stay home and Mommy's go to work: Ketchup.

Grandma Faye and Grandpa Hugh made the trek from UT - at the Butterfly Pavilion.

My cherubic child.

Addy learned how to fly like a butterfly (sting like a bee? OK that was unforgivably bad).

HALLOWEEN!

At the ward trunk-or-treat. How sensible! Rather than hauling a heavy bucket around for miles in the dark freezing your tuckus off, you just take candy out of everyone's parked car. Genius!

THE FLY

Ammon would like to point out that the purple silly straw in his mouth is actually a proboscis. Alrighty.

This reminds me of all our family pictures - there's always at least one kid crying. Addy is here with her friends Ella the baby chick, and Kyla a.k.a. Pebbles.

Wild pumpkin carving. Sklyer is demonstrating in the photo below what Crapo Pumpkin carving is all about:

The Sawzall.

"What in the name of all things living are these??"

The end result: a masterful job by all.

Ammon decided to freeze his tuckus off anyway because we definitely didn't have enough candy. Addy is still a little alarmed about what's going on here, but apparently she got the hang of it.

I think she liked Halloween, no?
