Halloween

We had a fun halloween weekend. We celebrated with family on Friday night was a beautifully decorated dinner and fun games at Mom's house. 

Lindsey was a 1920s flapper


Olivia and Aidan had creepy white masks and dressed in black (Aidan had a skeleton shirt on) and topped in a fedora. Tyler was an inflatable dinosaur Friday night then wore a blue skull mask Saturday while trick or treating. 



Mom did such good job decorating. We had taco soup for dinner.

Elizabeth brought some fun games. This bones in the bag game was a lot of fun. We had to just shake the bags and determine how many were in each back and put them in numerical order before your opponent.

Olivia and me (I was Captain Marvel)

Jaime the pirate and Madelynn the pumpkin


we had to get the cookie from the forehead into the mouth without using hands. 




Jaime won


I struggled. It was quite the scene let me tell you. LOL

We had to hold the tongue depressor in the mouth then line up pumpkin candies on it and hold the pumpkins up. 

Using a straw to move the M&Ms from one plate to another. No hands!

Malakai and Olivia teamed up. 

We ended the night with a treasure hunt running up and down two flights of stairs following clues to the final treasure. 
Saturday we had the Andersons over to party and trick or teat. I was not good at getting pictures of my kids this year. Despite Covid we still enjoyed Halloween. :)

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
