A Night In Bethlehem

Our Ward Christmas Party!

So here are our bed sheet/costumes.

Since I am just learning to sew, I knew making the costumes was out of the questions, so I went and bought some bed sheets, made a few magic cuts and this is the end product.

The kids really enjoyed dressing up and the program.

Trick - or - Treat

Here are the kiddos on Halloween night and also the night before at our Church carnival.

Jayden was a scuba diver, and was really feeling the part making all the noises and using the hand signals...it was way cute.

Kolston was a recycled cowboy, Jayden wore this outfit when he was 2, since I couldn't find anything cute here in the big town of Vernal :) I reused the cowboy...just one little problem I didn't think about Kolston's big block feet and trying to get them in the cowboy boots, but with some plastic grocery bags and Charla's help we got them on. Kolston was so funny, when we were in the Mayor's walk as soon as someone would put candy in his bag he would get it out & try to eat it wrapper and all.


And sweet little Anden was a dog, he was really cute.

Jayden's School Halloween Party

Jayden had his school party on Thursday, October 30
I was happy to be able to go and help out, I was given the task of making a craft with the kids...so with 30 kids and 1 hour, we decided to do spider pops! Thanks to my new friend Charla(AKA Gavin's Mom) the spider pops were a huge hit.
On Friday they had a vocabulary parade, NO THIS WAS NOT A HALLOWEEN PARADE!
It was a vocabulary parade, that you could wear a costume to as long as you displayed the definition on the costume...and the parade just happened to be on halloweeen day :)
I remember when you could celebrate every holiday for what it was, oh well at least they got to dress up!

ok so I have to post this video of Anden(3 months old), he is just the happiest little baby ever...
the video isn't the best, since I couldn't hold still!
You have to mute my music player and crank up the volume & enjoy this video of Anden laughing.

So here are some pictures from our Fall Family Photo Shoot...

The kids just love it when we do family photos, not really!

Tyson & Kyndra came out for a week for fall break and we did family photos(AGAIN), Tyson said he would be happy when we were done having kids so we could stop taking family pictures :)

Jayden's reply was even if they stop having kids, mommy will never stop taking pictures.

We just have to make the most of the times that we have all the kids together!

I have joined the blogging club!

So here goes nothing...
Karson has discovered blogging, so after looking at some of his "bros" blogs, he has decided that we should have a blog. I had thought about starting one several times(but who really wants to put their life out on the web like that), but I didn't think I could keep it up, so I am going to do my best to keep it up to date. Of course I am only going to blog the fun, blissful times where my kids are all smiling and every hair is in place :) so those come few and far between, just kidding! But that is a concern...how much is too much information??? Oh well I guess I will learn as I go, but for now I have to go get Jayden from school.
