Don't Mess with the Greenwoods...

Just thought I'd let you know we've got some "guns" on our side. Anyone thinking of messing with the Greenwoods will have to face the rath of these two.....AKA: Biker Beth & Knockout Nick ! Ok just kidding, they looked so great on Halloween though I had to post their picture:)

Happy Halloween!!!

Well, I was a bit worried when I woke up Friday morning to dark cloudy skies and rain. The Halloween hype has been building in our home and Macee asked me on Thursday " Mom, is tomorrow the REAL LIVE Halloween because I'm tired of getting dressed up and I can't go trick or treating!" I assured her that indeed it was the day she had been waiting for- but the day looked horrible! Luckily it turned out to be the best night ever for trick-or-treating. We had Ben's sister's over for some yummy homemade chili, cornbread, apple cider, and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies! Then we hit the streets and the weather was perfect! We didn't even need jackets! The kids had a blast and Jadyn only got scared a few times. The even racked in a few FULL SIZE candybars! Thanks good neighbors:)
Well, I have caught you all up from the month of October from the Greenwoods- hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween as well and until next time I will be busy trying to still get all the GREEN out of Macee's hair!! :)

Halloween Fun with Friends...

Since we've moved back we have had a chance to spend some time with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Celby. We have known each other since Junior High and cheered our way clear to college together! I credit Celby Jo for my BSU Cheerleading days because it was her and her mother who convinced me to go try out the night before tryouts in Boise! We both made it, became college roomies and had two awesome years cheering together that were so much fun :) She now has the cutest little girl named Cleary who we have also got to spend some time with! We go to the library for story time every Thursday and this past week we also went to the Library's Halloween Stomp, the pumpkin patch, and then finished the week off with homemade Pumpkin Pizzas for lunch on Halloween. Macee had the best turnout by far for her pumpkin pizza- Watch out Papa Murphys!! They had a blast mushing the dough and making a mess- and they tasted great! We love having Celby and Cleary to do fun things with :)

Boo at the Zoo!

We have been wanting to take the girls to the zoo since we moved back, and what a better time than for Halloween! Yeah right! Not only did they up the admission prices- but the place had a line a mile long just to get in and there were kids everywhere you could hardly get to see the attractions. We did get a few treats from the "friendly animals"- aka people dressed up- but Jadyn was terrified of them. We did get a good glimpse of the mighty tiger exhibit though0 they were prowling around like crazy, I think they knew something was going on in the zoo! It was fun, but we're going to go again next summer when it's NOT so crowded :)

Where Did October Go???

Well, I am catching up the last few weeks all in one day so sorry for multiple one day posts! A few weeks ago the girls and I had a fun baking day with Aunt Chelsea and made these "GHOULISH GOODIES!" It was so much fun! They were almost too cute to eat! These yummy creepy treats were a blast- except for when we had to clean up the HUGE mess they made! More to come....

Jadyn and Caden

Are these kids not adorable?!? Oh how we miss our dear friends the Lusks! Jadyn and Caden (I hope I spelled it right!) are just a few weeks apart in birth and had become quite the cute little friends just before we moved back to Boise. They are both blonde, blue-eyed cuties who were so fun to watch grow up the two years we were in Jerome. Caden was actually tiny compared to Jadyn at birth, and I thought he would trail her a bit growing, but boy he became this little incredible hulk! He is so strong with monster calves and abs of steel that he uses to climb ANYTHING! He outruns her by a mile with his huge feet (don't worry his mom knows they're big too so I won't offend her :)
They sure had a great time playing with each other though and were just starting to want to come to each other's houses to play. I caught the stinkers in a cute moment as I was packing one day and couldn't resist taking their picture. Could this be a photo displayed at a wedding reception one day???? I sure wouldn't mind !! :)

HAPPY B-DAY DADDY!
