Yummy Halloween cookies are always great for a treat!

Tuesday, October 26, 2010

Snow today – it was gone before the day was over, but it was a nice change!

Wednesday, October 27, 2010

The kids love dressing up and we have new costumes this year. Beth was excited to be Jasmine and JJ is Superman! So much fun!

Thursday, October 28, 2010

We spent lots of time getting things ready for the Halloween parties at school tomorrow. I’m in charge of JJ’s class party and I had a lot of fun creating these fun treats!

Friday, October 29, 2010

The kids had their Halloween at school today, beginning with their little parade! We got to hear JJ’s class do their monthly song time for us too. And JJ’s class party went really well and I think they all had a great time. We finally got around to carving our pumpkins tonight and since Joey was gone to do his podcast – I did the carving. I was actually proud of how they turned out. JJ’s pumpkin was Jack from Nightmare before Christmas and its my favorite ever pumpkin! Beth’s was a girly vampire pumpkin! The kids wouldn’t touch all the gooey stuff so basically I did all the work but they were thrilled anyways!

What a day. It started with taking Beth to sign-up for Girls Scouts. When we came home, Joey had all the kids bedroom torn apart. Their stuff was everywhere and they were pulling up the floor to replace it. We have had horrible constant leaking problems that we just can’t seem to get rid of. Joey and Aaron spent all day replacing the floor and I spent the rest of the night putting the bedroom back together. It’s not perfect, but its better than it was. I was so sick and because of all the fixing going on and the kids having colds too – we just decided not to do trick-or-treating this year. They had lots of candy still and so it worked out.

Sunday, October 31, 2010

Cody, Becki and Mallory came over for Halloween Dinner. We had Mummy Dogs (hot dogs wrapped in biscuit dough) and Bat Wings (Mac & Cheese made with bow tie pasta) and Dirt Dessert. It was delicious and it was fun to hang out with Cody and his family. Mallory was a hoot and its been so fun seeing her grow up. She was dancing to Beth’s Pony Castle music and making my kids laugh so hard!

I love seeing the progression in JJ’s reading ability. It has been very slow in coming, but he is finally reading. It’s fun to see him want to read to his sister too!

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

JJ’s loves the special activities and the motivational things they have in his classroom. He loves earning his little prizes!

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

The kids ditched school today and we went up to Salt Lake City to watch Lane, Colby, and Clint in the State Cross Country. Colby did amazing and got 3rd place. Unfortunately, Lane didn’t do as well as usual and he didn’t place. It was kind of a bummer – it being his senior year – but he did earn Academic All-state and that’s wonderful. It was fun to be with all the family.

Thursday, October 21, 2010

The kids have enjoyed doing Halloween artwork this week at school! Holidays really make everything so fun!

Friday, October 22, 2010

Although, its late in the season, I have been wanting to go for a nice Fall Drive and see the colors and leaves. I finally decided tonight was the night. After the kids got home from school, we headed up the canyon – and even though it has better colors earlier in the season – there was still lots of beautiful leaves to gather and enjoy! The kids really enjoyed it.

Saturday, October 23, 2010

Joey is spending the weekend in Salt Lake City with Pete doing podcasts and fun guy time. So tonight, pizza was just the thing for me and the kids!

Sunday, October 24, 2010

The kids were so excited when Joey got home tonight – they really missed having him home this weekend and couldn’t wait to have him join in their playtime!

Project 365 | Week 44

Monday, October 26, 2009
Tonight for Family Home Evening we carved pumpkins – well actually “I” carved the pumpkins and the kids watched. I have never actually carved pumpkins with my kids – so this was a first and very successful might I add! I was pretty proud of the cute little faces that I was able to make, complete with eyelashes for Beth’s GIRL PUMPKIN! I’m only sad that Joey had to work late and didn’t get to do it with us!

Tuesday, October 27, 2009
The season’s first snow fall came today! It didn’t stick to the ground but it was still beautiful and I was very content to just stay in the house with the kids and watch movies – perfect weather! Love it!

Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Beth’s school portraits came today and they really did turn out very cute! The photographer had fun little accessories for them to use like hats, tutus, feathers and phones. Beth still talks about that day and how fun it was.

Thursday, October 29, 2009
The kids were so excited today because tomorrow is their Halloween parties at school. I let them put their costumes on and they wore them all evening! Halloween is coming!

Friday, October 30, 2009
Today was so fun for the kids! Joey, Beth and I went to JJ’s school to watch JJ’s costume parade and then we took Joey to work, so that I could have the car to take Beth to school. They each had such a great time at their school parties and they got to wear their costumes ALL DAY! We took some fun photos outside when they got home and even though I couldn’t get a good one of them together – I was very happy with the ones I got individually! JJ was Spiderman for the 3rd year! Hopefully we do something different next year – but he still loves it so I guess that is all that matters. Beth was a princess riding a unicorn and I couldn’t have gotten a more perfect costume for her – she loved it! She named her unicorn “Sarah”, which is her favorite name in the world – she has a lot of other stuffed animals named Sarah too! So fun!

We also spent the evening with Pete, Brandon, Sabrina, and Kalissa – since they came down for Raquetball and the Podcast – I made dinner and we just enjoyed visiting and being together – really a great time!

Saturday, October 31, 2009
I think this has been my favorite Halloween season EVER! The kids excitement really has made it so fun for me. Today was just kind of an easy day – since the kids did most of their celebrating yesterday. We did take them over to the mall for trick or treating and they had a good time and we were only gone for about an hour. We went home and lit the Pumpkins, had a fun dinner of Hot Dogs wrapped in dough to look like a Mummy and Salad and Mummy Rice Krispie Treats and the kids had fun handing out candy to trick-or-treaters!

Joey and I were sick today – we woke up just feeling awful, so we didn’t make it to church. We spent the day just relaxing and trying to catch up on sleep and getting over our colds. The Colts won again so it was fun to watch that as well, since Sundays are football days in our family. I also spent some time designing on the computer. Joey and the kids finished the day by watching 1776 on tv. JJ didn’t make it very long and was put to bed and when I went to check on Joey and Beth – this is what I found. Is there anything better for a little girl than falling asleep in her daddy’s lap? So cute!

Project 365 | Week 42

Monday, October 12, 2009

Today I walked Beth to school for the first time since I sprained my ankle. It was hard and it hurt, but I made it and I’m so glad! It was a very long day. Had a hard time sleeping, so I only got a couple of hours of sleep. Because I walked so slow, I missed JJ’s bus coming home and he was home alone for about 10 minutes and he was so scared because “he couldn’t find me.” I felt awful that I didn’t make it back in time, but it doesn’t look like he will be scarred for life or anything. Just a really tired day!

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

It rained today and it just feels like Fall Weather! We finally were able to find a ride for our van to go to Orderville so my Dad can fix it for us. The kids enjoyed watching the van get put on the “big truck” and it feels so good to finally get it down there.

Wednesday, October 14, 2009

Another rainy day. I really do love Fall Weather! I made some Bone Breadsticks to go with our Spaghetti tonight – the kids LOVED IT. They really like it when I do fun stuff for the holidays. I really need to do it more. I just don’t get into holidays anymore and everything feels like a hassle, but when I see the delight on my kids’ faces – it gives me motivation to do it. Another successful Over the Hump Chat tonight too!

I have decided to do Fall Cleaning this year. My house has totally gone downhill since I sprained my ankle. It is time for cleaning and organization. I accomplished moving the bookshelves and all my office stuff into the bedroom today. I cleaned it all out – got rid of stuff and organized. It may not look the cleanest, but it is organized chaos – so it’s much better. I am now using the little side table I got from Grandpa Baker’s house to put my hard drives and laptop too. I spend most of my computer time in the bedroom anyways and now Joey can use the desk for all his computer stuff – which frees up my kitchen table! Things are much better now! I really hate housework – but it sure feels good when its done!

Friday, October 16, 2009

The kids had fall break on Thursday and Friday, so they have been home with me. I feel kind of bad that I didn’t do anything exciting with them this week – but I think they just enjoyed being home and actually they have liked helping me sort through everything and clean. They have found all kinds of treasures that have made them happy. We cleaned up the living room today – and organized all the books and everything. It’s looking really good. We did take a craft break today and made up some cute little paper bag puppets with some craft supplies that I forgot I had! The kids had a lot of fun and it was fun to see them smile and play together.

Saturday, October 17, 2009

We just cleaned again today – finished up the living room and started in on the kitchen. We got paid so I did some much needed grocery shopping at Costco and Walmart.

I forgot to mention that on Wednesday, JJ came home with this amazing certificate. He is one of the students of the week at his school! He got some great coupons for some free meals at some restaurants. He is such a good friend and example and help to the other members of his class and his teacher and I’m so glad he has found a place in school that he enjoys! I’m so proud of him!

Sunday, October 18, 2009

A regular Sunday this week. Church, Choir practice for mom, nap, and a priesthood meeting for Dad. I made some Ravoli for dinner and Beth was so happy! It is her favorite and I haven’t made it in a while!
