Halloween Haunts

Both kids were sooo excited for Halloween and couldn't wait. We had their costumes all picked out and bought by the first of the month. Austin was extremely set on being a skeleton and choose his costume right away. The mask that came with it was way too scary, kinda creepy almost, and so we did make up just for the night time trick or treating. Sydney was sooo excited when she found her costume of a Renaissance princess, and the fun skirt flared out at the bottom.. Both of the kids were in their costumes most of the day, and then went out for trick or treating, they also enjoyed handing out candy, almost as much too... It was a great day, and by the time it was about 9:00, they were wiped out and ready for bed...

Halloween Spooky Style

Well, both Jeremy and I love decorating up the house for Halloween, and this year was no different... We covered the front of the house in spider webs, made a grave yard in front of the house.. Had the fog machine going, black lights on the spider webs and HUGE spiders, and then the strobe light going on in the bedroom window... then added lights (purple and orange) that wrapped around the yard.. it was LOTS of fun getting ready for Halloween.. I think we scared a couple of the younger kids and lots of people told us how much they enjoyed the house.. and we loved dressing it up spooky too....

Pumpkin Carving Fun

Well since, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I just love everything that goes along with the day. One of my favorite things to do is to carve pumpkins, to try and figure out what were going to do, the plan on shaping and cutting ever so perfectly, and then hoping it comes out right and you don't cut a bit too far and then everything collapses.. So tonight, we have the big pumpkin carving session. Each of the kids knew what they wanted, I decided on mine, and of course, Jeremy that master, couldn't decide what to do.. and as always, it turns out amazing. Well I think they all just ROCK and they are out sitting on the porch with candles in them, and not much else to do, but sleep, dress up tomorrow, and out for some trick or treating.. I can't wait.. for the candy... I mean, for the kids to get some candy, from trick or treating.. I'm sure we'll check it and make sure it's ok first...

Red Ribbon Week

This week at school is Red Ribbon week for the kids, yesterday was backwards day, so they wore their shirts on backwards and I didn't get a photos.. ACK!! they thought it was the coolest thing ever to do. Today is wear all your red, so they each picked out their own RED outfits, and they looked super cute. I really love the fun red ribbons in Syd's hair...

New Pjs...

Well, it's been awhile and we haven't gotten the kids new pjs, since the Easter Bunny came, and it's been a bit chilly at night.. so the kids got some new fun pjs. I can't believe how big they are.. and I had to buy them each a size up.. well we have some tall kid.. I wonder why?? LOL (think Jeremy.. hint hint) anyways, just wanted to grab a couple of fun photos, but the kids were in a very silly mood, as you can see... I guess Austin learned about bunny ears, so I can see what kind of photos I will be having from now on. Sydney, well she just like to pose- what's new??

Kindergarten Field Trip

Well today I helped chaperon at Sydney's kindergarten field trip.. I even rode the bus, and we sat in the very back ( I have decided I'm not really a bus gal) as we went to the Monte Bean Museum. When we got there, we went down and saw an animal show which was pretty interesting and with 6 kindergarten classes in there, the kids were really good for the show. They all got to touch this huge lizard on the way out, Sydney thought it was really cool. Then we just walked around the museum, I have never been there before, so I had fun checking the place out, and it's really quite big. I think we are going to have to go there again for-sure. Saw lots and lots of fun animals, some were really interesting.. I have to say the Liger and the Butterfly wall were my favorite features. By the last five minutes, the kids were begging to sit down, so we found a bench and they just crashed. So, took the bus back to school and then they were out for the day... Sydney and I took a little girlfriend lunch together at Stars, so we had fun and then just checked out Costco and see what they had new there.. I am proud to say that I have already started my Christmas shopping... so I am super excited about that, my goal is by Thanksgiving to be finished.. woo hoo.... Notice in Sydney's pictures how loose that one bottom tooth is.. I wish it would just come out...

Have your seen this guy???

When I saw this I almost couldn't believe my eyes... does this guy look familiar or what??? even the kids were like, look at daddy on the boat... Well this poster, was hanging up in Zumiez in Park City right when you walked in, so I HAD to grab a photo of it... I mean, that really DOES look like Jeremy... Apparently this guy is a pro snowboarder.. does Jeremy have a hidden talent I don't know about?? gotta love it...
