A Night Out With The Girls--Witches Night Out!!!

Witches Night Out!!!

The girls in my life......I can't even express how much I love my friends. It has been a very bad week full of worry, anger, and everything in between! But my friends came to the my rescue with a care package that I really needed! They seemed to always be there when I feel so alone. Thanks girls for listening to be and for never judging me when I have lost all hope! Every person deserves to have friends like mine!

Witches Night Out---a little disappointed in this fun event but the company was great! We ended the night with a cup full of ice, (yummy) a drive through a fancy neighborhood, and ice cream treat for our sicky friend with fun naughty talks by the fire. As I stumbled in about 11:30..Ben just looks at me and said, "Now, where do you go???" My answer..."With the girls"...always a fun adventure.

Visiting my MOM!!!

All the kids wanted to being Grandma Joy a Pumpkin for Halloween. It's always a tender moment watching my kids kiss my mom's picture. We sure miss her and all the fun moments!!!

A Story about Jared:

My Aunt Val who is the greatest...always brings Jared to Football games at the highschool. Well last week they had a special "Pink" game for people with Breast Cancer. At half time they honored and had a moment of silence and let some balloon's go. At this moment my Aunt Val looked over at Jared and he had tears running down his face. It broke her heart and then the whole family started crying. Jared has been such a mama's boy as Jared who say but since my mom died he really has been the strong one. At moments like these I am reminded how much he really misses her! He never is sad to us or says anything but I know that it is just as hard for him. Oh..how special am I to have such amazing brother. I love you Jared!

A weekend of FUN with our Favorite Person!!!

Last weekend we went down to Grandpa Jay's house. We had 3 days to try and throw away all of his junk...or whatever he calls the things in his basement. It's always a little tense when you start throwing away my dad's stuff! I just need to do things like this when he is out of town. (Note to self) We ended the weekend with a great ride. The kids had a great time riding up to Rock Canyon but they all seemed to fall asleep on the wall home.

October has began!!

October is here with traditions on their way....

We first started off our week at Pumpkinland. Every year I take my preschool to pumpkinland. No...I really don't love this field trip but the kids go crazy over it. Bracken was in his glory running around with the big boys, Jaylynn being an angel as always...and Brynn just crying and streaming! There is no pictures of her because she was attached to her second my Leslie. Thanks Les...for always dealing with her!

Gardner Village has become our yearly tradition with Aunt Cheryl and cousin Melissa. But then Melissa had to get married and well lets just say she is picking her man over us! Just teasing...but we did miss her. We had a great time as always....Cheryl always treats us to a yummy lunch. The kids adore her and I do too. I love having girl days...I don't get them very often since my mom died so its good to have second mom's that step in. Isn't Cheryl beautiful....Oh...I do admire and love her!

Painting pumpkins...craving is always dangerous with two 2 year old twins...so we are going for painting. Stay turned for the polka dots.....that will be tonight!

TH BIG "54" BIRTHDAY BASH!

A week filled of CRAZINESS!!!

September

September was filled with getting back to schedule and spending time with the family. Jaylynn started her 2nd year of preschool. She really has the best teacher (haha!!)She is always saying she can't wait for kindergarten because preschool is for babies! I'm am so excited for her to go to Kindergarten and to not have me as her teacher. The poor girl. Jaylynn is so smart and for the most part behaves well at school. I am so proud of her. The Twins are doing great with preschool starting. They love going to Heather and Leslie's house. Brynn is getting way too attached to them!

Here is a picture of the all the kids friends. We spent stake conference weekend in the mountains having a great picnic! And no...we didn't skip out on conference......crap guilty!!!
