Pumpkin Carve

The Annual Pumpkin Carve at Grandpa Dennis' was a success! The kids even helped cleaned out their own pumpkins. Halloween just wouldn't be the same if we didn't stick our hands in pumpkins and pull out the slimy seeds! ;)

Witches Night Out

Who knew that dressing up like a witch could be so much fun?! I was so excited when Gretchen decided to have a Witches Night Out for Bunko in October. It was so nice to get out of the house and see friends. I have the hardest time staying home with a newborn. It is great for about the first two weeks and then it seems like the walls are caving in on me! This night was perfect. I got to dress up (thanks mom for your help) get out for a bit, have fun, and eat lots of yummy food! My kids thought I looked pretty funny when I was leaving the house. Addie loved my eyelashes and Preston thought my stripped tights were dang funny! I decided it was good for my kids to see that even mom's have fun dressing up once in awhile! 

Thanks Gretch for a spooktacular night!

One Month

My baby is growing right before my eyes. Sometimes I think will she ever see me and smile, then the next minute I think oh my heck, she is a month old! She has her fussy time in the evenings from about 8:00 pm - 11:30ish, but other than that she is a great baby. She eats great, poops great and snuggles really great! I don't know what we would do with out this little bundle of joy. She is so sweet.

Deer Camp

Deer Camp this year was a complete success! Lots of fun, food, camping and no deer! ;) Grandpa Randy, Uncle Ryon and Uncle Lex took good care of Landon and Preston, while Gavin and the rest of the camp went hiking in the rain. From what I heard, there were lots of bb's shot, many sticks were carved, and a bag of Butterfinger's were consumed. Preston also informed me that Uncle Ryon has everything anyone would ever need while camping. If you need it Ryon has it! (I guess that is a true Eagle Scout for you, right?!)

Gavin brought me back a bouquet of red leaves, it was beautiful. Who needs a dozen roses when you can have red leaves? My favorite. Addie, Carlee and I had a great weekend of shopping with Grandma! I am starting to think that missing Deer Camp might not have been such a bad thing after all.

Fall FHE

A few weeks back I was feeling sorry for myself because I wasn't going to get to go on the Deer Hunt and see the fall leaves. I love bright yellow and red fall leaves! I decided that for FHE we needed to ride to Pine Valley and check them out. Then the boys could go deer hunting and I wouldn't care that I was being left. (I have big issues with being left at home... You know me, can't miss anything!)

The kids didn't have school on that Monday it was their fall break, so we went to town and got Halloween costumes. We also had to get Addie some shoes for her costume, on the way to the shoe store, someone hit us while we were stopped at the stop light. It wasn't very hard and no one was hurt, it just felt like a little bump. Needless to say, we waited for the cop, then waited while he wrote the girl and ticket, then waited while he wrote the report. Waiting, waiting, waiting.  I had all 4 of my kids, and I have to say they were champs. They all sat very still and never really took their eyes off the cop! Good lesson in wearing our seat belt ALL the time. The only problem we had was this delayed our trip to Pine Valley, we didn't get up there until it was almost dark. It turned out okay though, because we got there right about dusk and there were deer everywhere! It was fun to see them, and watch the kids get so excited when they saw them. Pine Valley is a beautiful place. I loved the smell in the air, and beautiful colors all around. Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he created the changing seasons.

Warrior Fans

Landon is such a lucky boy. This was his cheering section at the football game. He had quite a crew there cheering him on! It is so nice to have a family that supports my kids in all they do.  Thanks everyone, it means a lot! We hope to see you all tomorrow at the big Playoff Game against Dixie! It should be a fun one! :)

Lotion, Lotion, Lotion

Remember when I posted about Sunscreen? Now here is a post about lotion.  Addie decided that her rocking horse was feeling a little dried out, so she applied about 1/2 of a jar of Cetaphil Cream to his fur to keep him moist. It was also all over her too, but I bathed her before I remembered to take a picture.

You are probably wondering where her Mother was during all of this, right? Well, I was out thanking a neighbor for bringing me a much needed dinner, because I had just had a baby 2 weeks earlier. Not to mention that I was already on the verge of having a metal breakdown, because I couldn't get everything done, and my house looked like a tornado had gone through it! Yep, that is when I found my sweet Addie, right after I shut the front door. She was covered in lotion, and I wanted to cry. Instead, I took a picture and now today I can almost laugh about it. I know, give me a few more months or even years and this will be hilarious. Maybe even someday I will want this day back, it will probably be when Addie is gone having little lotion problems of her own.
