Haircuts by Caleb

Isn't that a cute boy. Caleb is such a fun boy. Caleb decided he wanted a change so he cut some of his hair. Story goes like this. Caleb and Drew were taking a shower. They got out and were drying off. Drew come to me and says "My tummy is bleeding" I ask him what happened. He said: "Caleb did it." I thought that he meant with his finger nail. Caleb then come in and Drew says "and Caleb is bloody too." I am looking in his mouth all around till I see a tiny bit of blood on his head were hair should have been. I asked Drew what happened. He tells me I don't know. I finally got the story out of him.

He said him and Caleb were in the shower and my razor "fell"(or his brother got it down for him) and Caleb touched Drew with it and then "combed his hair." I guess I am lucky that it was only a small spot. I buzzed his hair in hopes that it would blend in better. It is on the left side of his head.

It is about 1/2 inch by 2-3 inches.

Gotta love boys. PS. Drew finally fest up and said that it was him, but it was an accident and Caleb turned into him. I guess we will see how the story ends.

Halloween FUN

I will start off by saying sorry this post is so long. I couldn't choose what pictures to show you all. So I choose a few of my favorites, which turned out to be a lot. We had a fun busy two days. Friday started off with the school parade. So fun.

Jared wanted to be a hobo. He made his own costume and loved it.

Drew wanted to be a football player again. I didn't mind at all.

This is Drew's 1st grade class. I got to go to it and help with the party. Kids this age are so fun.

I helped them make scare a crow cookies. We had fun.

After school we went to the High School. The teachers and students do trick or treating for the kids. The boys loved it but kind of a pain for Mom. It took 45 minutes, but the kids had fun.

After the High school we went grocery shopping. Drew loves to sit in the cart. This time we had lots to buy, so he got buried.

Friday night we went to trick or trunk at our church. Boys had a ball and we didn't see them most of the night. We had dinner there. The young women did carnival games for the kids and the young men did a spook alley. Jared and Drew had a blast, and of course trunk or treat.

Caleb kept playing under the car. Weird, because he never does.

Caleb and his best friend Tanner. They didn't want to take pictures. Thus Caleb kept going under the truck.

Caleb was a cow. He was so excited for Halloween. He kept telling everyone he was going to be a cow, that cows said MOOOOOOO, that he would say trick or treat and get candy, then say thank you. What a good boy.

Caleb looking at his loot.


On Halloween day we carved our pumpkins.(I loved it and will always do it on Halloween Day.)


This is Caleb because his mean Mom wouldn't let him use the knife.(Such a tough life)


His friend Tanner came over and they rode skateboards. I told them they had to have helmets to ride. They found helmets in the Halloween stuff. Now every time they ride the skateboards they HAVE to wear the football helmets.

Drew's mummy.

Jared's finished pumpkin.

So they have opened up this new park about 1 1/2 miles away from us and the boys(and I) have decided that it is our new favorite park. It is called Firehouse Park(across the street fro the Fire House) It has everything we love in a park.

They love to see who can go the highest.

The swings were a little tall for Caleb, but he still got on them.

Drew's favorite thing at any park. The monkey Bars. He does them at recess everyday.

Jared's favorite thing at the park. These cup things. You sit in them and move your body and it spins you.

Drew and Caleb loved the this. I love how they have tires under them. The kids are able to climb on them themselves and us them to push themselves up and down. Smart idea.


Caleb will climb ANYTHING.

Jared having fun swinging. He was so happy because he went really high.

As you can tell this is Caleb's favorite thing at a park.



Man they are so cute.

Darrin's New Ride

Darrin and I both own big vehicles. We LOVE them and need them for work and carpooling reasons, but they are gas hogs. One day Darrin was doing a delivery to a customer's house and he saw a motorcycle for sale. He got a great deal. It has been so nice to have it for Darrin to do service calls and run errands.

Caleb and Darrin. Caleb loves to go on rides all the time.

Drew and Dad. He loves to get rides too. Rides are fun(from Drew). Wish I had gotten a picture of Jared.

cowBOYS

This picture has nothing to do with this post. It is just cute. Caleb has his own back pack and loves to wear it. He thinks it makes him a big boy like his brothers.

A couple a weeks ago I took the boys to the rodeo they have in town here each year. We always go on Thursday because kids get in free. Since Darrin was spending some time with his Mom in Provo, I took the boys myself plus a friend. Silly me, 4 boys and one Mom. Good thing they were good(I guess bribing them with ice cream helps.) This is Jared sitting with his friend watching the rodeo.

Caleb in the cowboy hat. He thought it should be his and would share it with his brothers.

Drew, the cutest cowboy. He was so excited to dress up like a cowboy. He has been waiting for a year to go to the rodeo dressed up.

The boys talking to Jared's friend. Before the rodeo, they let anyone who has a horse come ride in the arena if they want.

Highlights of the night.
1. cotton candy
2. boys were good
3. Drew saw his teacher
4. Jared saw his 1st grade teacher.
What a fun night.

One a different note. The day before the rodeo I got a call from the boy's school. I always hate getting calls because the 1st thing that always comes to mind is" Oh great, what has my child done?" When they say this is the school counselor, you think: "Wow, they must have done something REALLY bad." Anyway what he told me was that Jared was playing with some kindergartners and he slipped and fell on the ground. One of the kindergartners jump on him and bite him. He told me Jared was OK, but that the bite was going to leave a bruise. He just wanted to call and let me know what happened. All I could think of was "Man I am glad it was that and not something my child did." It had so much effect on Jared that when he came home from school I asked him if anything happened at school. He said No. I asked him What about someone biting you. To that he said, "Oh yea, I forgot about that" Funny how kids don't let things bug them, wish we all could be like that.

CAMPING

We love to go camping. Sad to say we only got to go once as a family this summer. But it was an adventure. We went to go for two night, but ended up spending one night. It was so windy and rained the whole night. We tried spending the day in the tent because it was so windy, but that is a HARD job with a two year old. Lucky for us we have a Spring Bar tent. So you couldn't feel the wind or rain at all. In fact we were all hot.


Jared and Drew helping set the tent up. They were big helpers.

Caleb's idea of helping us out.

Were we camped was nice, lots of rocks for the kids to climb. Our table and fire pit was in the middle of rocks, so it helped block the wind.

Caleb providing the music for us.


We kept having squirrels all around our camp. They must always get fed my humans, because they were not scared by us at all. The boys had fun chasing them away.

Drew getting ready to roast marsh mellows.


Caleb and Drew climbing rocks. Caleb is not afraid of anything unlike his mom who had to kept getting him down.


Reading while waiting to go fishing. Darrin took the older boys fishing. They came back sooner than I expected. Darrin was trying to get to a better fishing spot and got the truck stuck in a ditch. He brought the boys back and went to flag someone out so they could help pull us out. Thanks for having good people there.

Caleb LOVED his bed.

Boys had so much fun. Can't wait to do it again next season.
