Mummies and eyeballs

Tuesday was Jared's night to cook, he wanted to do a Halloween dinner all month and we had planned to do one so Tuesday was the day. We made mummies and eyeballs I wasn't sure if anyone would eat but it was a big hit (except Jonathan who didn't want one and me I am not a fan of hotdogs). We did have french fries too, just no fun Halloween name for them. The eyeballs were bigger than what the recipe called for but it was still fun the kids had a blast and ate all there dinner guess that is going to become a new tradition for us. Can't wait to try another one.

Autumn

As I have said before I LOVE FALL! Its my favorite season. I love the colors of fall the smells, everything about it. Here are a few pictures of fall.


LOVE these bright colors.

The boys having "stick wars"

The trees in our backyard

Monday this is what we got SNOW!!!!

Glad we can still see the "colors" of fall

October so far . . . .

We have been BUSY you wouldn't think that we would be but WOW this month has been packed full. We of course had the boys birthdays and Jared's baptism.

Gotta LOVE the picture of Jonathan it's great, I think he was excited. We didn't do much for his birthday, even though he turned 13, he had a friend over and we did a hot dog roast, then everyone got sick (but me) BIG TIME BUMMER. It was NOT fun to say the least. Thankfully it didn't last long.

The next fun thing was Rachel and her singing group, they got to perform (for the first time) for the Governor. It was fun to watch them, they did really quite good.

One of the songs they sang was Doughnuts

(that's why she has a doughnut)

she has a few more things they are doing next month and I am sure some for Christmas.

This was a fun project, Jonathan had to make a model of a cell, he came up with all the things to use and put it together, the only thing I did was make the rice crispy treat for him to frost. I LOVE school projects (as long as its not the night before) and THANKFULLY this one wasn't.

Its been a busy month so far and only 1 week left of October, time to start thinking of Christmas gifts, lots to make can't wait. (more on that later)

Special Day

On Saturday October 9, Jared was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by his Dad. He was so excited his birthday was on Friday, and then he was baptized. Thanks to all our family that shared his special day with him.
