Halloween Party

Salli and Vi. The girls were the 3 little pigs, Maka was the big bad wolf, Salli was little red riding hood, and Vi was The Hulk-not sure where he fits in...but that's pretty normal :) Just joking

Mummy #2

Cave girl and The Hulk

B-ball player (sweet hair huh!), Cave Girl, Indiana Jones, The Bee, and the Referee (isn't every mom a Referee) Actually Brett was going to be a coach and I was the Ref---so we could FIGHT with each other! The player thing works too. Funny that the Ref always wins heehee. Maecee would back her bum up to people and sting them. It was hilarious. I am proud to say that I didn't purchase any of this stuff. I looked at the store at costumes and they are so weird. I just couldn't get into them. So we dug stuff up here and at Salli's very large collection. Lots of fun!

Pumpkin Walk

We all went to the Pumpkin Walk in North Logan last week. I was excited that I finally got to go. I seem to forgot about it until it's over every year. The kids had a great time and Brett and I were AMAZED once again at the details and imagination that goes into this. Some of our favorites were Noah's Ark (loved all the animals), A hospital scene (one was a "patient" bent over with a shot sticking out of their bum, then another patient was laying on a table getting surgery. They had the pumpkin seeds laying all over..really creative. Also at that one was a maternity ward with pumpkin babies all wrapped up. Very cute), Eth came running to me yelling "MOM it's Michael Phillips (that's what he calls Michael Phelps)" That theme was the Olympics and their was the swimmers on the ground swimming with pumpkin people cheering them on. So creative!!!

I took this picture for Roger because Salli told me to :) She said he would love the homemade pond.

My three cuties

I let her skip gymnastics because she didn't get to go with us the night before to pick pumpkins because she had practice. Also her aunt Kimmi was up, so it was a pumpkin carving party!

Where's Maec?

Balancing Act-Can you see the dirt all over him

UEA Weekend

UEA OCTOBER 2008

Sword fights with the 4 wild and crazy boys! Best $5 Cory spent to keep them all entertained
Pictures at the American West Heritage Center Corn Maze (from left Ethan, Jayden, Hallee, Kaidin, McKenna) Obviously we were quite entertained by this...Hallee not so much!
My two girls at Heidi's house
GQ Ethan showed us his bowling skills. He got 3rd place and easily beat me
McKenna-What form :)
Ethan diving into the hay

McKenna riding Haus the very large horse
More sword fights. Also rode the 4 wheelers and Rhino. Uncle Cory also gave them a ride off the jumps he made in the field on a motorbike
The Group in the Corn Maze (about half way thru) Heidi was the awesome navigator. If she wasn't with us we probably still would have been in there. She would say "ok were in the spider now, or we're coming up to the pigs butt..." just to let us know where we were. The map was Charlotte's Web. It had the spider, the web, the word terrific, a sun and the pig. It was a pretty tricky maze.
And we always have to take a funny face picture.

All in all we had a great time. I really wanted to spend some time with the kids and was hoping Brett would be slow so he could play with us, but it never works out like we plan. That's ok, him and I got to go see a movie on Friday night which is amazing. I was able to stay up until 11:30. Now that's something to write in your journal! I also learned that I do not have the patience to take all 3 kids to eat and shopping at Old Navy in one day. That was more like being put in a torture chamber than a vacation.

An old picture

I was looking back at old pictures and found this one that Angie took in the gym at church after our hubbies raced their demolition cars. Look at how little my Maecee is. Her sweet little hands and cheeks, and ears and mouth---basicly everything. I could just eat her up! This is when she wouldn't take a bottle or binki, she just wanted to nurse. I thought those days would never end and here we are now!
