Yes, Another Slide Show

2008-11-25T17:03:00.000-08:00

There were just too many cute pictures of all of our Halloween festivities, so I had to do a slide show to let you all in on the fun!!:)

Halloween Fun

2008-11-25T15:49:00.000-08:00

We had such a fun Halloween this year. We went to 4 different Halloween parties,so we got some good use out of our costumes. Here are some pictures of us in our costumes and Karson in a past Halloween costume that is a little small.

Adventure at the Pumpkin Patch

2008-11-12T12:03:00.000-08:00

Sorry! I am a little behind on blogging, but I will try and catch up. Karson went on a fun field trip to a pumpkin patch. There was a fun pumpkin hay ride the kids got to go on and pick out a pumpkin, and some fun activities for them to do as well. Karson's favorite things to do were ride a little train they had that went through a corn field, which he rode about 50 times, no joke. He also loved a fun slide they had set up, which he went down about 100 times, no seriously. There was actually a really tall slide set up that was gated off that was like 30-40 feet tall (just guessing) and guess who got through it and slid down head first. HUMMMMMM!!! that would be Karson. I was chatting with another mom when it happened. Me and my gab mouth:) Anyway, I see a worker bolt across the field and get someone off the slide, and there was cute, fearless Karson with a big smile on his face. I wish I could of taken a picture of it, but that was the last thing on my mind at the moment. I am sure everyone thought I was a crappy mom for not seeing this event take place, but if you know Karson, he is a quick, sneaking little bugger. Good times!!!!

What Happens At The Cabin Stays At The Cabin

2008-10-23T21:19:00.000-07:00

We had a crazy, out of control girl's weekend, plus one cute little baby boy,Easton, with all of the girls from Jeff's side of the family a few weeks ago. We went up to my Aunt Janet's cabin and pretty much we were eating, laughing, dancing or chilling out throughout the weekend. Oh, I forgot to mention there were a lot of bodily disfuntions as well. I won't go into detail because I want to keep my blog as PG as possible. HEHEHEHE! I had a total blast just getting away and being silly for a couple of days. It was like therapy for me.

Soccer Is Making Us Broke

2008-10-12T17:58:00.000-07:00

This has been a fun and exciting soccer season for our family. It is Karson's first year and it has been so cute to watch him play. His shirt goes down to his knees and he has to tie his shorts as tight as possible so they won't fall off while he is running up and down the field. He is so hilarious because any of you that know Karson, know that he is a stocky boy and he knows how to use it. He bull dozes his way through everyone and anyone to get the soccer ball. His coach says he is like a bull in a china closet.
Kaylen is also doing well with soccer. She has been playing for a few years now and she is getting so good. She is also very aggressive at making her way to the ball. She has been tripped many times, but she jumps right back up and keeps on going. She never gives up, NEVER!!
We decided to reward our kids for all of the goals they make through out the year. We give them one dollar per goal. That was a big mistake! So far we owe Kaylen close to 30 dollars and Karson about the same. They score each like 3-6 goals every soccer game, which is awesome, but not for our pocket book. We had to finally change the rules and stop paying them after 3 goals each or we would have needed to take a loan out just to keep up with all of their goal scoring. It has been a blast watching them learn and grow with soccer. We are very proud of them.:)

Karson's 2nd Year of Preschool/Fieldtrip to Dinosaur Park

2008-09-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

Karson is loving preschool. He has it 3 times a week, but he wishes it was everyday. He gets so mad that Kaylen has school everyday and he doesn't. He is learning to write his name, which has been a bit of a battle because he throws his pencil across the room everytime he doesn't write a letter correctly. Patience is not in his vocabulary, but he is still my little sweetheart.
He just went on a fieldtrip to the Dinosaur park and he had a blast feeding the ducks and fish. He also had fun learning about all of the different types of dinosaurs, and he is glad they are all dead because he doesn't want to be "squooshed" by one.

I think I see a resemblance.

I'm king of the mountain!

You blinked! HAHA!

So True!

I love to pose for the camera.

Kaylen's 1st Day of Second Grade

2008-09-27T22:00:00.001-07:00

Kaylen was excited for her 1st day of school. She started at a new school this year because of our move and she wasn't even nervous. She has a good neighbor friend in her class, so I think that helped and her teachers are awesome. They are doing a Wizard of Oz theme throughout the year and that is Kaylen's favorite movie. She also gets to ride the bus home from school and she thinks that is pretty cool. She is doing great so far and is learning so much. She loves to read and her favorite subjects so far are spelling and math. Her goal is to get 100% on 10 spelling tests in a row so she can earn a trip to McDonalds( the coveted golden arches).

The kids have really enjoyed spending time with their baby brother. Jeff loves to cuddle with him and take little cat naps with him on the couch. So cute!

Kaylen Look-a-Like

2008-09-27T21:03:00.000-07:00

Is it just me, or does Easton look like Kaylen? Give me your opinion.

Fun At The Treehouse

2008-09-27T18:13:00.000-07:00

Jeff got a couple of days off work and one of the fun things we did as a family was go to the Treehouse. The kids had a blast playing around and I think dad did too.

2008-09-27T18:08:00.000-07:00

Camping to East Canyon

2008-09-27T17:34:00.000-07:00

We went on a fun camp out with our awesome friends and thier amazing family this July. The baby was only 5 weeks old. Maybe a little crazy, but it was well worth it. This is a picture of me and my good friend Melanie. The kids had a lot of fun swimming, fishing and hanging out around the campfire. There's nothing like roasting mallows. The clean up is even funner. Hehe!!

I Think I'm a Man

2008-09-27T17:30:00.000-07:00

Apparently, the weeds needed a little watering. There is nothing like being one with nature:)

Who's the Hottie???

2008-09-27T16:50:00.000-07:00

HAHAHAHAHHA!!! Totally joking! I was 3 weeks post delivery so I couldn't do much yet but chill in the camp chair with the babes. It was sure nice to get out of the house and get some fresh mountain air.

Catching Bugs

2008-09-27T16:43:00.000-07:00

I had fun catching butterflies and caterpillars and I brought some home in a Little Ceasars sauce container. Unfortunatley, they didn't make it too long after I brought them home. I don't know why?

What You Looking At Punk?

I promise I am having fun!!!

Mountain Picnic with the Kidlets

2008-09-27T16:30:00.000-07:00

I needed to get out of the house after having the baby so we took the kids for a picnic up Odgen canyon and they had fun playing in a creek nearby.

Blog What??????

2008-09-27T16:20:00.000-07:00

I know what you are all thinking. Why did they do a blog in the first place when it takes them a year to update anything. Well, all I can say is I am so sorry and I will do better. The whole blog thing is a little out of my element, but I am trying to adapt. This summer has been a bit crazy with having a third child added to the family. I feel like I can't get anything done. Clean house! Ya right! Shower before 3PM? Not likely:( Homemade meal every night? Say what........... So anyway, I am going to add some pictures of some of the activities our family did this summer so I can catch up to what is going on right now. Enjoy the slide show.

Little Easton Has Arrived

2008-08-12T17:01:00.000-07:00

Easton was born on June 5th 2008. He weighed 7lbs. 7ozs. and was 20 inches long. He was born with lots of red hair. He has been a wonderful addition to our family. We are cherishing ever moment with this little guy because he will be our last. My body would fall apart as well as our pocket book if we had another.

Kaylen's Zoo Trip

2008-05-22T19:56:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago, Kaylen had a field trip to the Hogle Zoo with her 1st grade class and had a blast (since Jeff took her.) Her favorite animal was the monkeys because she acts like one 24/7.

Karson's Graduation

2008-05-22T19:50:00.001-07:00

So this year was Karson's first year of preschool and a great one at that. So, as the year came to an end it was time for his graduation, they sang some really cute songs and his favorite one was rockin' out to the Itsy Bitsy Spider!

Baby!

2008-05-21T19:03:00.000-07:00

Well, it's down to crunch time with our soon to be baby boy and the name is all that's left! We just can't decide between Easton and Hunter. Leave your choice in the comments!
