Noelle put on an amazing Halloween party at the game room, playing, ping pong, guitar hero, bowling and dance dance revolution (Leah and I are pretty much pro's now.) Watch out Shayne we tear it up:) 
We took second place at the tournament. It was a full day of games, four to be exact. We had a big barbecue between games which was yummy! It was a fun day complete with sunburned faces, food, fights, scraped up knees and bonding. The kids had fun as well and they were excellent sports as they watched the game, cheered us on, ate all the cookies, climbed trees and ran around the field. They all slept really well that night!
Kali is sitting so still as Auntie Mary paints her nose for the finishing touch of her Minnie mouse costume. She was so excited to get to finally wear it. At the Halloween party, Kali experienced her first donut ever and she scarfed it down. They were supposed to be trying to bite it off the string without hands but she decided it was to good and that would take too long so she just pulled it right off. She also got to take some swings and the ghost pinata. She has gotten the hang of swinging hard at the pinata's she does a good job. She also got to color a picture and decorate a cupcake. 
Kali and I are hanging out at temple beach and all of a sudden this little turtle makes its way up onto the sand and then heads straight for us. If I hadn't moved I think he would have tried to run us over!! Kali loved it. She first wanted to feed him oreo's, but I informed her that turtles didn't like oreo's. She then decided she wanted to talk to the turtle and tell him to watch her and she ran up to the top of the sand bank and then proceeded to run down as fast as she could almost falling on her face every time as she reached the bottom because her little feet couldn't go as fast as her momentum. It was so entertaining, and she thought it was funny as well so she did it several times, but each time before she was going to run, she had to tell the turtle to watch her. Never a dull moment in the life of a mother!!
Kali Lyn Jones is turning 20 months on the 18th of Oct. She is getting to be such a big girl who knows exactly what she wants. I love these pictures with her shoes on because she is really into socks and shoes right now. That is what she sees daddy putting on all the time and so she wants to wear them too. She also loves to wear a "bow" in her hair. She has several different headbands with a flower but she calls it a bow. She is always sporting some sort of bandage, either Barbie or princess and she is starting to get interested in potty training since all of her older friends are doing that right now. So I got her some underwear that she always wears over her diaper and I told her she won't need her diaper any more as soon as she can always let me know when she needs to go shee shee or poo poo. Shee shee means pee pee in Hawaiian. Kali is talking so well. She loves to talk on the phone to all our friends and family. Sometimes she will just walk around the house talking on the phone even though no one is on the other end. Kali's favorite color is Blue just like her Grandpa Wood. Anytime I ask her what color something is she will always says, BLUE! Kali was funny when we were taking these pictures she said she had to stand by a palm tree. Then when I said, "say cheese" she would say "cheese, cheese, cheese" as she was looking around, but she would never look at me. Except of course her model pose when she was done saying cheese she would just look at me with out smiling. It made me laugh!
