Happy Halloween

What has been keeping us busy?

I feel like I really haven't blogged in forever. Between "computer" problems and Halloween coming tomorrow--I feel that I have been neglecting my blogging duties! Anyway--we had our friend Corey R. come for a visit. My dad and his dad met in college and our families have been friends ever since. Brent and I lived in the same complex as he and his wife Amy when we were first married and became great friends! My kids had a ball with him here. All I heard from them was Corey, Corey, Corey. It was fun to have him here and as usual it made us sad that we don't live closer.

Halloween is not complete for us if we don't have some cupcake decorating. Grandma came and helped the kids make and decorate cupcakes. They had fun, even though by the end the only helper left was Kate!


Once again I made another banner! I made 2 (sorry Bri, I am still working on yours!) One for me and one for a friend that has had Kate over so much lately I think Kate is ready to move there! Be watching for my one year blogiversay! I hope someone will want to enter to win something!

Leaf Hunt

During our fall break I tried to keep the kids busy with free things to do. We have a cute book called "We're going on a leaf hunt"--so we read that and then went to a park to collect leaves. Well I was about a week and half off from the leaves changing. The trees now are beautiful! But all was not lost. Out leaf hunt turned into a bunny hunt. Luke spotted one in the bushes and the hunt was on for a good picture of the bunny. I didn't realize until I was trying to leave why Luke was so into finding the bunny. He wanted to pet it. I don't believe wild rabbits would want to be petted!

I am still here!

Not that I have very many fans out there, but for those of you wonderful people who do read--I am sorry I have not posted in awhile. We think our computer may have spyware on it or some virus, so Brent has banned me from the computer for 2 weeks to fix it. Well I can wait no longer (still not technically fixed) and will continue to use the computer anyway. I will probably be mad at myself later for doing so--So this week I have a few things to post so thanks for staying with me. And I think my one year anniversary is coming up and like all the blogs I read, I will do a give away, so stay tuned! I think it will be a fun item!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My mom's birthday was this month. She is such a great mother. She will do anything for me. I appreciate all of her support. I just hope I can be a daughter that she deserves. Happy Birthday MOM!

(I made the photo album in the picture. I just bought an inexpensive photoalbum from walmart-with acid free inserts--she can just put all of her halloween pics of when her kids were younger and then set it out in October to look back on the years past. that way she doesn't have to worry about really scrapbooking)

playing on turf

Austin got to play a football game on turf yesterday. They cut 20 yards off of the field, but it was wider then they were used to. They did very well. They played against Saratoga Springs--final score 13 to 6 for the knights! Once again to crazy Utah weather Luke's soccer game was canceled.

b is for birthday

Wow we go to a lot of birthdays! (i guess they just have a lot of friends--which is great) Anyway the little boys name is Brock so I did a B is for... I know he loves BYU so I made a BYU pillowcase. It was easy, inexpensive and fun to make!
