Trick or Treat in the Village

We seized the opportunity of getting free candy and headed out to go Trick or Treat in Multnomah Village. It's a cute little area with lots of shops and they were handing out candy. The kiddos were great! No complaining, they walked the whole time, and had pretty good manners! Disclaimer: none of these pictures are that fabulous, but I still wanted to blog about it... Fun was had by all!

Happy Halloween!

We had our church "Trunk or Treat" and Chili Cookoff on Saturday. It was a lot of fun! I must say that I think our little family had the best themed costume! I might be a little biased. It was mostly thanks to Tyler putting on 150 pounds just for the night! See for yourself! We had such a fun night!


Fairy Godmother, Cinderella, and GusGus




Unfortunately, this is the only standing up picture I got of Tyler the whole night. At least you can see the full effect of his costume!

"Trick or treat!"


How Spencer and Addy spent dinnertime... playing under the table.


He could barely drive! Yikes!




Pretty Pretty Princess Addelyn!

Welcome Miss Emery Carleen Morris

Tyler's sister, Tess, and her husband, Holt, just welcomed their first addition to their little family. After a long labor Emery was born! She was born on October 26, 2011 at 4:30 am. Weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 inches long! She is adorable! I'm so glad that both mommy and baby are healthy! They are bringing her home from the hospital tonight! We can't wait to meet her! Congratulations Tess and Holt! We love you THREE! She is the third grandchild (all girls!) on the Bendixsen side!

Pumpkin Carving

This is the first time ever that Tyler and I have carved pumpkins together! I was shocked when we came to that realization. After 4 Halloweens together, it's about time! We had fun carving pumpkins with the Jacksons! Addelyn and Alexa loved painting their pumpkins and sticking stickers on them. :)

Depoe Bay

Why is it that whenever we go to the coast, we somehow end up at Depoe Bay? It is one of my favorite places, minus the fact that there is no beach access. Tyler's dad had a law conference this past weekend at the coast, so we went up Friday night to join them. We had dinner, very yummy dinner, played games and went to sleep. Tyler and his dad went golfing bright and early the next morning, while Addy, Nana B, and I went to the outlets. Then more eating, whale watching... yes, we saw whales!, and walking around. It was beautiful weather! No wind, sunny, and perfect temperature!

More Dance Pictures

Addy is loving dance class! She loves getting dressed in her leotard, tights, shoes, and skirt. I asked her if I could take some pictures of her for Nana R, and she started striking different poses. So cute! I feel like she looks about 4 years old in these pictures! :(

Perfect Plumper Weather

Saturday we went to the Plumper Pumpkin Patch. It was gorgeous out! The sun made it just warm enough! Addy had tons of fun and was squealed with delight at the plethora of pumpkins! Addy and I rode the "cow train", Tyler sling shot some mini pumpkins, and we found our perfect pumpkins.
