Sadie Hawkins

Bailey and Mason went to Sadies together and had a great time!

The Asking:

Bailey wore a hot dog costume to the beginning of cross country practice, holding a sign that said, 'Mason, don't be a MEANIE, go to Sadies with this WEENIE!' Hahaha, she's a nut!

Asking

Answering:

To answer her, Mason dumped frozen peas all over her car and left a sign that said, 'I got so excited that you asked me to Sadies, I PEAD all over your car! Yes!' So funny! She said it was hilarious driving her car home, because peas were flying everywhere!

Answering

The Dance:

The dance was the same day as the state cross country meet that they were both running in, so they couldn't do a 'day date.' Bailey got back from the meet, and had less than an hour to get ready and pick him up for dinner. Good thing it was just a t-shirt dance! The dance was right before Halloween, and had a Harry Potter theme, so that was fun! My friend made their shirts, and they turned out so cute! Bailey's shirt said, 'On a scale of 1-10, Mason is a Nimbus 2000.' Mason's shirt said, 'On a scale of 1-9, Bailey is a 9 3/4.'

We had a Halloween themed 'Mystery Dinner' at our house. It was so funny! The kids had to order from the menu below, not really knowing what they were going to end up with. They even had to order their type of plate, utensils, and cup. That was the best part! Me and Mark were dying! So funny!

The menu

Here is the dinner set up. We had to block off the view to the kitchen, so they couldn't figure out what they would be ordering, until we brought it out to them.

Ordering their dinner!

Bailey and Mason both had to eat the whole meal with deadly spears (chop sticks), and a pooper scooper (giant serving spoon). They were so funny!

Rachel and Alex

Matt had to eat with scorpion pinchers (tongs), and Hannah ate with a dead hand (ice cream scoop).

They were really good sports, and had a great time!

After dinner, they went to a haunted house, since they didn't get to have a 'day date.'

Then it was off to the dance! I love that Bailey and Mason are the type of kids that can have fun anywhere! After the dance, they went to Hannah's house for treats and games. Hannah and her family made the cutest Halloween snacks!

So fun!

These are the cutest treats!

Bailey had a great time, like always! This was her first t-shirt dance, and the fact that it was so close to Halloween made it really fun. Oh, and her cute date might have had something to do with it too! :)

Razor Riding!

Mark planned a fun razor riding adventure with the Harris' for my birthday! So fun! We spent the day riding up at Kelly Canyon, and had pizza for dinner when we were done. The fall colors were so awesome! We went everywhere, but the ride along the river was my favorite! Bright orange and yellow everywhere! So pretty! We saw 3 bald eagles, and a big bull moose! Such a fun day!

Following Jason and Michelle!

Along the river!

So pretty!

Here is the moose we saw!

Mark has been wanting a razor, but after this ride, he REALLY wants one!

This is just a glimpse of why fall is my favorite season in Idaho!

Thanks Jason and Michelle for an awesome day!

Homecoming!

Homecoming!

The asking:

Mason asked Bailey to her first homecoming dance! She was so excited! He ditched a big box of fortune cooking at our door with a sign that said, IT WOULD BE MY GREAT FORTUNE IF I WENT TO HOMECOMING WITH YOU! Bailey had to open up the cookies and look at all the fortunes until she found the one with his name on it. So cute!

Answering:

Bailey put sod on Mason's front porch with a sign that said, YOU BET YOUR GRASS I'LL GO TO HOMECOMING WITH YOU!

So funny!

The Day Date:

They had a group of 6 couples, and they went to Squealer's Fun Park for their day date. They rode the go-carts, played mini golf, and did the batting cages. After that, they had lunch at Noodles and Company. Bailey had so much fun!

Squealers!

Batting cages! Bailey & Mason, Ben & Holly, Parker & Hannah!

Getting Ready:

When the girls were getting ready, the boys were making them dinner at Andrew's house! Bailey thought it was so cute that the boys actually made the dinner themselves!

Love it!

Jenni came over and did Bailey's make up for the dance. I always love what Jenni does, but this time was my favorite! She made Bailey look so sophisticated and way too beautiful and grown up! Bailey did her own hair, and it looked awesome! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the back of it! Holly got ready here, because her mom was out of town. They both looked so gorgeous!

Thanks Jenni!

All ready! They looked so beautiful!

I love these girls! They are so genuinely happy and positive! It's hard to believe, but they are both even more beautiful on the inside then they are on the outside!

She's a babe! I'm still wondering when the heck all this growing up happened!

The Dance:

Prince Charming showed up looking extremely handsome! They were seriously the cutest! They had dinner at Andrew's house, played some games, and then headed to the dance. Bailey thought the dance was so fun! Her group left to go watch a movie at Jakob's house, and a few of them stayed longer at the dance because they were having a great time. I say it all the time, but I'm so grateful for the awesome friends Bailey has! They are all such fun, great kids! I'm grateful for Mason for treating her exactly like any dad would want his daughter treated. I'm so glad she had such a great time!
