Happy Halloween

Landon as Dracula and Carson as a Denver Broncos Football Player

Grandma and Grandpa "Bill" came up for Halloween. This is just as we got back from trick-or- treating. (Notice Carson is sacked out! He was so tired when it was all said and done.)

We went to a trunk-or-treat at our ward building. Man I miss the good old days of going trick or treating door to door. I can remember going with my Dad at about 6:00 and he would not let us quit till are sacks were full. Rain or Snow:)

After the kids got out of school, we decided we would have a pumpkin carving contest.

Yes, Abby is almost 2 years old and we have never had a family picture with all of us. I feel terrible, so we decided this weekend to take a few pictures. My brother-in-law Dan took these. Thank You Dan! Hope you enjoy!

We had a family party this weekend with Joes Family to celebrate Graces birthday. It was so fun and good to see everyone. WE LOVE YOU GUYS! The kids decorated cookies, while the adults sat around a talked while we ate some yummy food that Joes sister Vicki made. (She is the best cook).

A little change in the weather!

We woke up to about 4 inches of snow this morning! By around 3:00 this afternoon it has grown to about 8 inches, and it still is coming down. Landon was a little confused though, he asked Joe if we missed Halloween. He is convinced that it is only suppose to snow near Christmas time not before Halloween. We reassured him, that he still gets to dress up and would not miss Halloween. Carson took Abby outside in the snow for the first time. She loved it. I thought she would be hesitant, but I was dead wrong. We could not get her to come inside to warm her little body up without her throwing one of her famous tantrums. Looks like we are in for another long cold winter!

Utah Victory!!

Moms Weekend Alone!

Well, I must say, this was one of the greatest weekends! Joe took the boys and Abby down to Utah this weekend for the Utah football game. They left on Friday and came back Sunday night. This meant that I had the whole house to my self!!! It is funny, I don't think I have ever sat home by myself since before Carson was born. Usually when Joe has been out of town, the kids were always home with me. As they left Friday, I sat and listened to the quiet, it was great! I did alot of reading and I am pretty sure I hit an all time record for taking naps. These two days were very relaxing, but I must say it was good to see all of there faces as they came through the door Sunday night. They had a great time hanging out with Joes Family, and the boys had a blast going to the game with Joe, Grandpa Bill, and there Uncle Jeff.

It is going to be a long day!

As I was getting Abby ready for the day today, she grabbed my mascara, and tried to put it on her eyes. When I grabbed it from her, and set her on the floor she was not a happy camper. Little girls are so different from little boys. She is still mad at me and it has been over an hour. This is going to be a long day! I also have some cute pictures of the boys, I will post later today!!! Days like these and miss them like crazy:)

Lunch Time

We thought these pictures were so funny. We decided to have a quiet day yesterday, since we have not just sat home on a Saturday for as long as I can remember. The boys were loving life as they sat and watched just about every football game there was on T.V. Carson suggested that we have hot dogs, as if we were at a real game, so we barbecued the hot dogs and made lots of other yummy things to eat. The boys also thought it was a good idea that they put Abby in one of their soccer jerseys and also top off the outfit with a Jazz hat. (The funny thing is that she actually kept the hat on for easily a half hour.) During one of the games Landon left for a moment to go get something and when he returned, he found Abby helping herself to his lunch!
