Brad, Kayli, Allie & Marlee Taylor

Oh wow, this is a little late but on Halloween we had a couple of parties. On Tuesday the 27th we had a party at my family's house so that Brad could join us on his day off. We had spaghetti and witches broom breadsticks for dinner. We did some cupcake decorating. We made mummies, brains, frankensteins, spider webs, crazy faces, skeletons, and whatever you call what my dad made :). Allie dressed as a mummy and loved to be scary:
Marlee was the zebra that Allie was 2 years ago she really liked it when she looked in the mirror:
Brad dressed as an Army GI Joe and I was a baseball player:
Marlee was playing with a groaning stick. Isn't she so cute?
On Friday night, we went to a party at my friend Carries house. Allie didn't want to be the mummy and she didn't want to be a witch that she had planned for Halloween, so she settled for a fairy princess. But the rest of us dressed up the same.

The 30th was also Marlee's 9 month birthday. So we had to take pictures that morning.

Marlee weighs 20#3oz. and is 28 1/4 inches tall. She has her two bottom teeth but no top ones yet. She has been rolling over for a long time and sitting up for a while but she still won't crawl. She loves to stand though. She is really smart too. When she was about 7 1/2 months she dropped her binkie and it was too far away for her to reach. She had something in her hands so she tried to reach it with that. Me and Brad were both like, "woah, did that just happen?" She says MaMa and DaDa and BaBa and Hi and Boo. She is really good at picking up small things, she feeds herself cereal snacks and little bananas and apples and vegtables.

On Halloween Allie wanted to dress up as a witch. It was really cute, but she said she wanted to be a BAD witch like on Snow White. Her hat was pointy like a witches and had fluffies around the bottom but you can't really see it from this angle.

Marlee ate cookies at Grandma Jackies house and she hated getting in and out of her costume and her carseat at all of the trick-or-treating spots.
We only went to 9 places up in Brigham and Honeyville and that was plenty. It was pretty hard to get in and out everytime. It was really fun, even Marlee liked to wait at the doors to say trick or treat.

The other night Allie and Marlee we're playing. Marlee was being fussy so Allie said, "hold on Marlee I'm going to make you a collection!" Then she started bringing stuff into my bedroom and lining it all up. It was mostly play food but some other random things too. It was really funny and cute.

Ta-Da! "The Collection"!
