Happy Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Hope you all are enjoying it. My kids have had a fun time so far. As you can tell the older boys wanted to be football players and the youngest was a clown.

Last night we had Trunk-O-Treat with our ward. The kids had a ball. We started of with dinner of hot dogs, chip and doughnuts. Along with a Pumpkin contest. They had a movie playing on an outdoor screen and for the little ones a train ride pulled by a tracker. My kids had a ball. Followed with going to peoples cars to get candy. I am amazed how creative people are with their trunks. I am so glad I live in such a great ward.

The boys at the first car. I loved trunk-or-treat the day before. It has made Halloween more enjoyable for me. We did our trick or treating yesterday so we will take the kids to dinner and do some fun things with them.

Playground Fun!

The other day we took the boys to their school to play. They have a great playground and we wanted to have a picnic. Drew just loves playing on the "Big Kid Playground".

Caleb loved the slides. He would say wee each time he went down. Caleb is our child how wears a lot of band aids on his head. This lasted injury was from following on a toy. I tell Darrin between our three boys, we should buy stock in band aids.


This is my favorite. In Caleb's hand is his chicken. He loves to walk around eating. If he ever falls he will sacrifice his head/face for his food. He will not let go of it.(Thus the need for stock in band aids)


Jared is growing too fast. He is such a good helper with his brothers.

Drew is our silly boy. He loves to pull silly faces during pictures. He says the funniest things. At our school kids get rewards for walking 50 miles, 100 miles, 150 miles and 200 miles. Our store is donating the prizes. Jared was telling us how he is going to work hard and get his 50 miles so he can get his jump rope. Drew looks at him and says "Duh Jared. Dad owns Play It Again Sports, we can get a jump rope anytime for free we don't have to walk 50 miles." We had to inform him he won't be getting one for free.

Mama's Kicthen Helpers!

So my boys love to help in the kitchen. Anytime Darrin or I cook they always ask to help. We have a white stool they all crowd on. Here they are helping with Sunday breakfast.

Caleb wanted to be my helper to. He saw Mom's apron so he had to have one too.

My boys love to measure and put things in. Sometimes it is hard to let them help because it takes twice as long. If they are willing, I let them help.

Caleb loved putting his cheese on the zucchini and eating it from there.

Family Fun

A couple of Saturday's ago I was bored. So I decided we should go on a family outing. We have this Wildlife Museum in town. I took the boys last year and they loved it. Since then they have wanted Darrin to go to it, so we all went.

This is Caleb playing in the tree house. They have a children's playroom with a tree house to climb in.

Jared and Drew in front of some of the animals. They gave each child a pair of binoculars so they could think they were on a trip.

In the playroom they had clothes to dress up in. They also have animal furs for the kids to feel.

This is what Caleb does when you ask him something he do not know.

Drew and Caleb in the tent in the play room. They also have a bug room next to the playroom. It is full of all kinds of bugs, and butterflies. The butterflies are beautiful, some of them are a metallic color.

Caleb got bored, I sat him on the rock bench for a picture, he decided to try and get to the animals himself.

Drew The Babysitter!

We asked Drew to play with Caleb so we could get some stuff done at the house. They were having fun with the bungee cord.

Drew got a bright idea,

Now Drew could go play. What a thinker. Really, our boys love playing together. We are very lucky.
