She's a little trepidatious..
But somehow manages to overcome her natural daintiness and really enjoy everything there is to enjoy. It makes me wish we still got to do this, then birthdays would mean something again.
This is Noah's cake. I've mentioned several times how much he loves football, so he got his very own field, complete with goalposts made to Louie Sakodas specifications. You will notice in the bottom corner that mom took a few liberties that were not previously approved by the birthday cake steering committee.
What power ranger can resist. We can't believe he is seven.
This was Noah's present. There are a few family members (aunties and grandpappy) that should be in this photo. Lucky the Utes won in overtime or my boys would have been banned for life because of their bad luck. We found out that, while Noah hangs on every play, Boyd is very content eating fruit by the foot for three hours.
And now we get to the crown jewels. Melody does a magnificent job every year with these, and as a bonus, she gets to visit DI every other day to raid for potential costume accessories. See if you can guess this years theme...
Got it yet?
Getting warmer.
A poker playing family?
This ended up awesome. Melody wanted me to point out that the crown eventually shrunk a few inches. She colored the black stripes underneath with magic marker and we all were high for the next several days. Notice her devoted subjects groveling at her feet.
Ada calls this the "Madder Hat"
Just in case you are still in the dark...
So we love October, but we also love when it is over.

Wow! Those costumes are awesome! I'm so impressed. I don't think you could find a cuter Alice anywhere. Mel, the cakes are fabulous too.
I'm always envious of your costumes. My kids are lucky to get dressed up, forget getting Doug & me dressed up! You're amazing Melody - the costumes AND cakes!
I didn't think it was possible to beat the Incredibles as a family Halloween costume. You Bradfords are modern marvels.
We are dying over here in Watson land! These costumes are way too amazing! Do you guys have access to our blog? It's private, but we just had our baby and you guys definitely need to see pics!
Great pics of your family...and I love the costumes! I just made some Christmas pjs for my boys (you know, the kind from the super easy pattern) and I'm pretty darn proud of myself...Until I see that I must bow to the queen! I'm not worthy!
Just found your blog! So fun to see your little family. It has been so long! LOVE the b-day cakes! Our Dillon used to have a major thing for football and we found him this awesome toy/team set that he played with nonstop. I'm always telling everyone about it. Just google Kaskey Kids Football Guys and you should find it if you're interested. Probably a little late for Christmas but anyway. . . .Take care! Doug and Lu
Great update on the Pricians. Amazing showing on the Halloween front. You guys are so fun and cute.
Hey Melody...Amy and I are trying to get in contact with you. Can you email us your info at nbird5@yahoo.com so we can call or email you? Amy is coming to town and wants to see you, if possible....Nicole
Time for some more pictures. I need some!
