TRUNK OR TREAT !!!!

Happy Halloween

Well Trunk or Treat was tonight. But first
we went to the kids' school for a Halloween
parade. Before it started Tyson decided to
have me take pictures of all of his many
faces. Silly boy!! If you don't know what
Trunk or treat is...everyone gets together
at the church and the kids trick or treat
out of everyone's car trunk...they are
decorated to be Halloweeny...so fun.

SPRINKLERS

Well Nate has reached a milestone in his life. He finished the sprinklers in our backyard.
FINALLY. I mean the man dug the trenches by hand and did it all himself. GO NATE !!
So now we might actually have grass and plants and maybe a fence next year. I am so
excited. It is pretty sad when the highlight of your life is landscaping. So here is a pic
of his fabulous trenching and the finished lines.

Here is Tyson with the present Ellie picked for him. She grabbed
some cardstock and crayons and made him the cutest card
She is such a good big sister.

Kyle's big 8

Kyle just turned 8 years old and instead of a cake on the day of his birthday he chose cinnamon rolls. So I ended up cooking all day but it was worth it. They are sooooooo yummy. So here he is blowing out his candles with his eyes closed. Happy Birthday Kyle James !!!

Tyson big number 3

Ok...so I am an idiot and I took video footage
with my camera SIDEWAYS !! I am so not
camera Savvy....oh well...just sit sideways to watch.

Five things

• 

There are five things I have
learned as I have grown older.

1. Don't ever give a three year old scissors around your daughter with long hair
2. Don't brush your teeth and then eat an orange
3. When your big sister throws a wet washcloth on the ceiling in the bathtub the drops that are left there are NOT bat eggs (Cynthia...)
4. You will NOT get sucked down the drain with the bath water
5. And finally it is BEST to wear cowboy boots with JUST a diaper on it is oh so comfortable.

Kyle's Baptism

So I guess I am now officially "OLD". Kyle (my oldest) just got baptized on saturday October 11. It brought back so many memories of my own baptism. I can't believe how fast time goes by. Sometimes I am afraid that if I blink I will miss everything. What a huge milestone in his life. Kyle has come so far in the last few years. It seems like only yesterday I would come home crying from church because he had bit someone or hit someone. I just remember hoping that people would see what a good heart he really does have. Now I see how kind and loving he is becoming and I truly am in awe of his desire to do what is right and the love he has already for the Savior and our Heavenly Father. I am so thankful that he made this choice in his life and I will never forget the speakers and the spirit that was felt before and after the baptism. I LOVE YOU KYLE.
