Wyatt

Ashtyn and Wes

Of course all the Halloween stuff was on clearance. I got these wigs for $1.50 each and knew the kids would have a ball with them. TOO FUNNY!

Carving Pumpkins

Trick or Treat

Ashtyn was NERD

Trett was a SUN DEVIL FAN

Wyatt a NINJA

Ella a BUTTERFLY

Wes showed up in his hunting clothes and was a HUNTER

We went Trunk or Treating at our ward party and had a GREAT TIME!

Trett's Birthday

I am so grateful for my digital camera. Brent took my camera hunting. He was sure Wes would get his first deer. So I went and bought a disposable camera. That's why these pictures are sorta well different. I love being able to check the picture then delete or take another.

For Trett's birthday we went to McDonalds. We never go to McDonalds so my kids think it the best when we do go. Then we had a treasure hunt for Trett at every stop he found five dollars. Mr. Money bags himself loved it. Then that night we went to Aunt and Uncle Ashby's land and had a bon fire and cook out. Lots of fun!

Boys birthday party

The boys had a party for friends and family. We played more football, Roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and enjoyed playing with friends.

Stop!

I called Brent today and told him we were going to stop, gather our little chicks for the next few days. We are going to cancel practice and lessons, trips to the store, naps in the car and meetings. We are going to regroup play with the kids. Sit an try to enjoy being home and together. Yes I understand there are some things that just can't be stopped but there are also some things that I can control. I am cleaning house putting on some warm dinner and we will be together as a family for the next few days. Hope it goes well.

Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Wyatt had a birthday breakfast party. He got to choose his favorite breakfast, doughnuts. The only thing Wyatt wanted for his birthday was a bag of balloons. He made sure often that if I bought him balloons for his birthday that I would not blow them up. So funny! We also got him two Nerf guns because we thought surely he needed something more then balloons. When it came down to it he could take or leave the Nerf guns. He loves the balloons. Thanks for all the cards and money! He loves that he has more money then Trett.

Football Has Ended

Weston played his last game against Morenci. His team did a great job! I think they only lost two games. Wes wanted to ride home with us last night. Trett sat in the back by him and kept asking us what stunk so bad. Wyatt didn't mind it so much he and Wes shared earphones and listened to music together.

Life Saver

Just a quick tip that has saved us this soccer season. I have a small basket on the top of my dryer. We keep the soccer shin guards, socks shorts and shirts in the basket. After I wash the soccer stuff I just put the soccer items in the basket. With four doing sports and three of them in soccer it is hard enough for me to keep up on practice, games, snacks, oranges, water bottles, and who goes where when I need some organization. Brent also knows about the basket and when he is running someone to practice or a game he knows to try the basket first. The kids also know to look there for their soccer stuff. GO TEAM!

I think I have gone fall crazy. I never have had much decorations for holidays now I think I have a lot for fall. These cute little blocks are from Thoughts in Vinyl. I loved these blocks because they are reversible. One side is trick or treat and the other side is give thanks. Less to store. Also if you sign up for her E mail list she will send you an E mail every month for a new project idea for the month. Then you order them if you want to. Happy fall!

Annie's Apples and Orchard

Trett's class went to Wilcox to Annie's Orchard. Wyatt and I went because we had never been before. The min I stepped out of the car I smelled warm apples baking in pies and breads. I thought how fun to be here in the fall. There was also fields of sunflowers. Deer grazing off the side of the road and fields of pumpkins and corn. In the beginning the kids were taught about bees and corn. Then as we went through the corn maze we had to answer questions in order to know if we were to go left or right (luckily for those of not really listening the answers were on the back.) Then after we found our way out of the maze we hopped on a tractor for a hay ride. We rode to fields and fields of pumpkins. The kids were told they could each have one pumpkin and the only stipulation was they had to find one they could carry, because no one was going to carry it out for them. Once they found it they were to raise their hand and someone would come and cut it for them. Then we rode back to the main farm and ate lunch. We had so much fun!

Thanks Allison!

Allison showed me this super cute project on Pebbles in my Pocket. I thought they were cute and knew we had a lot of wood left over from the add on of the house.

Brent and I guessed on the size and cut them out. Then Brent's sisters and I got together and made them up. It was fun. Thanks Allison for the great idea! Yours are in the mail.

Cook Out

I have the best husband. He is always full of fun family ideas. Today he wanted to have a family cookout. We cooked hamburgers over the fire and then we made s'mores. The kids had a great time visiting and eating. So much fun Wyatt wants to do it again for his birthday. Thanks babe your so fun!
