"Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved... Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows." ~President Thomas S Monson

DENTIST
Brenden went to his dentist appointment today!! No cavities I'm happy to report!! He took his new Hulk toy he got under the bib just like Brenden had to. They took xrays and let him look at his teeth on a big TV. His favorite part was the little vacuum thing they use to suck the water & floride out. They let him hold it and keep using it while they were getting things ready. He did so good!!

PUMPKIN CARVING

We went over to my cousin's house to carve pumpkins with them and their kids. And it ended up being the adults carving the pumpkins! Which was fun becuase I can't remember the last time I carved a pumpkin. I was so upset that I forgot my camera and wasn't able to take pictures so I took this video on my phone of the final products!! The first one you see is Cason's smiley pumpkin (done by me) the 2nd is Tanner's bat (done by his mom) then there is Brenden's skelleton Pirate (done by Colby) then Chase's wolf (done by me) and the last one is hard to see but it's Jacey's mermaid pumpkin (done by his mom)!

BOOGITY NIGHT
About 20+ years ago the Disney Channel had made for TV Halloween movies called MR. BOOGITY, and THE BRIDE OF BOOGITY. These are cheesy movies but it's a family tradition to watch the movies around Halloween on my parents front lawn like a drive-in. We eat lots of treats and have fun! This year we had some friends come over too! And after they left they said they'd still be our friends. (if you have ever seen the movies you will understand why them staying our friends is such a big deal. The movies are lame!)

DARK DARK NIGHT!!

Brenden learned this in preschool and I had to share it with everyone I know becuase it is so darn cute!!
(This is what he's saying incase it's too quiet or you can't understand him, he was trying to be scary)
"there was a dark dark night, and a dark dark house. In the dark dark house there was a dark dark room. In the dark dark room there was a dark dark closet. In the dark dark closet there was a dark dark shelf. On the dark dark shelf there was a dark dark box. In the dark dark box there was a GHOST"

LITTLE BOYS!!

I cannot express how much I love my little boys! I walked into their room tonight and this is what I see. Brenden had taken all of his animals and lined them up on his headboard. If you notice, all the cows are together, the horses are together, and all the 'mountain animals' are together. I asked him why he did it and he said "Cause I love them mom!" How cute is that?!? He made me melt at that moment!!

ARCHERY RANGE
We went to the archery range out in Hurricane today with Colby. The boys had so much fun hiking up the trails to each target. Colby started off shooting really good, then as time drug on and the kids started getting tired so did he. It was such a nice day. And the kids loved seeing dad shoot his bow!

Here they are following behind daddy!


Cason found himself an arrow like dad


Holy Cow! What a long day on the range!

CAMPING
We went camping at Baker for the weekend with a bunch of friends and family! Sure it rained all weekendend until it was time to go but we had so much fun! We took the boys for a walk down a dry riverbed so they could find pretty river rocks. We watched Colby and Jason attempt to fish, and we played a whole lot of Apples to Apples in the trailer. The last night we had to squeeze 10 people into our trailer becuase the rain was making the tents fall down, but we loved every minute. The boys were in heaven playing with their cousins!!


Cason loved the fire!


Brenden just being Brenden!


Just look at those angels


mmm...the best cinnamon french toast I ever made!!


What a dirty little boy!
