Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins with the kids last night. Really cute to see what they want to carve. If you can't tell from the pictures, we have a guitar, a bat, a scary face, and a butterfly for the kids. Raegan wanted a barbie on hers but I don't think that is possible :)

Hope Kids - Bear Lake Weekend

This weekend we went to Bear Lake with "Hope Kids". It was so much fun! The kids really had a great time. There was a cool bounce pillow that I think my kids could have lived on if we allowed it. We also went on a nice "hike" that was kid friendly. Xander really liked the hike, he would stop on every rock or fallen tree and tell Darrin to take his picture, so I think we have about 47 pictures of just him :) Raegan was cold (as you can see from the pictures) and Haiden discovered "rock on" fingers so we have quite a few pics with him doing that. It was pretty cold but I think we all had a nice time. The kids liked making s'mores - Raegan has her own version, no graham cracker - just chocolate and marshmallow hehe.

Kids say the darndest things

Today my sweet darling daughter comes up and says "mommy, I think you are getting old." I asked why, to which she replied "because you are getting crinkled."

I think I will go check out the old folks home today.

Just sharing my day.

Tre: hi stooped NINET (hi stupid Nanette for those of you that don't know 1st grade spelling)

This is from my son Tre. He is mad because I am making him clean today and not play games - heaven help us all!

It is nice to be so loved and appreciated isn't it?!!!

SIGH!

The birthday party.

Yipee, my computer is fixed and I am able to download pictures off of my camera - wooo hooo!

Here are a few pictures from Tre`, Xander, and Kolten's birthday party. It was a lot of fun, we learned about a lot of different animals and BUGS (EWW!) - I think the kids had a really good time - and they got spoiled for sure!



Super cute crested gecko - makes me want one!

Tre and Xander helping Cousin Kolten blow out his candles :)

HUGE Boa!
Cute little ferret
Way soft chinchilla!
Really gross giant millipede. We don't have a picture of the hissing cockroaches but trust me, they were gross!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY XANDER!!!!!

Happy birthday to the little caboose in our family. Even though he is a wild child and Darrin calls him Spawn of Satan he really is a cute and fun little boy. He loves to tease pretty much everyone he meets. He is Raegan's little buddy and follows her everywhere she goes - he even goes to her when he is in trouble and needs a hug :)

HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY TRE`!!!

I can't believe how old my kids are getting, especially since I am still just 29 (hahaha). Tre is a fun little boy with a wacky sense of humor that always has us laughing, he loves all things Power Rangers and Nintendo related and likes hanging out at home with his siblings (well maybe not Xander as much-hehe). Have a great day bud, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Jiggle

Just thought I'd share a moment of my day with everyone. Today I was combing Raegan's hair and she says to me "mom, look at your legs, they are jiggling".

As not funny as this is I am sitting here giggling about my jiggling!
