Halloween 2017

October 28th we went to Price's annual Halloween party. Costumes are required to go. 
I have a hard time coming up with costume ideas. Well I don't have a hard time coming up with ideas it's just getting the costume together. I could do lots of costumes if I put the money in to it but I don't want to spend too much. We decided to play off Jaime's lack of a left hand. I'm a angry wife who cut off Jaime's hand. The costume was a big hit. Honestly I was surprised at how many people liked it! This picture makes me laugh. Jaime was smiling, I was playing my part. (We switched rolls at the ward Halloween Party.) We had so much fun at the party. The games were fun and had us all busting at the seams laughing. My cheeks hurt so much!

The ward Halloween Party. Notice my smile and Jaime's scared look. Hahaha. The ward party turned out well too. The Relief Society was responsible for putting it on so it was a pretty stressful last few days trying to get all the food and stuff set up for it. But it all came together. Decorations were cute, food was good and the activities went well. There was a carved pumpkin contest, costume contest, and of course, Trunk or Treat. Tyler was so excited to win "Most Creative" in the pumpkin contest. Even while carving his pumpkin and painting the little ones he said he wanted to get most creative. And he did! Lindsey also won "Most Cannibalistic." Her pumpkin was a giant scary one with a tiny one inside. For the costume contest everyone in costume walked across the stage. Jaime went limping out on stage and I ran him off. We won "Most Gruesome" for our costume. 

October 31st

Kylo Ren (Aidan), Super Girl (Makaela), Captain Phasma (Olivia), Optimus Prime (Tyler) Jyn Erso (Lindsey), Bat Girl (Elise).

I let Lindsey have a party. She wasn't too in to wanting to go trick or treating. She had a few girls over for snacks and games. The only thing I wish is that I had more candy for the girls. I ran out of candy for trick or treaters. The girls got lots of snacks to eat but not too much candy. 

But they had lots of laughing and weren't ready to go home when it was over. That's a good sign they were having fun.

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
