Life 365 | Week 41

We have been getting quite a bit of rain the past couple of days and it is actually feeling like it is Fall. I love it. Fall is definitely my favorite season right now and I hope we get a long one. I spent quite a bit of the day making a menu and grocery shop list. I’m determined to stay within my budget and stick to the menu this month!

A major grocery shopping trip turned into a cleaning frenzy in the kitchen today. I cleaned out all the pantry shelves and got everything organized. It feels nice to have it all full.

We got the kids school pictures back today. I loved how Beth’s turned out. JJ’s smile was pretty cheesy, but it did capture how he is with photos right now!

We got a long hail storm today and even though they were pretty small – they were extremely hard! It was very loud! The kids came home off the bus from school so excited about it.

We put Beth’s hair in braids last night after her bath so that her hair would be wavy today. She was so excited about the waves and begged for me to take photos of her. She is one cute girl!

No, Joey didn’t go to jail or anything – but he did get a haircut today! The kids just played around the house today and I spent most of the day designing.

Project 365 | Week 44

oct26Tonight 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!

oct27The 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!

oct28Beth’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.

oct29The 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!

oct30Today 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!

oct31I 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!

nov1Joey 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!

oct19We got JJ’s school pictures back today. I always debate whether or not to purchase the school pictures because they are expensive and I don’t ever use all the prints. But it’s a school memory that I hate to miss out on so I always do it. This time they had a digital copy available – YAY! And really so far, JJ’s school pictures have been great – he’s always smiling – so it’s all good! This one will be a memory of his crooked tooth that I hope we can get fixed soon!

oct20Today was Joey’s 33rd birthday. He didn’t really want to celebrate it though – so I didn’t even make a cake. I had made some Eclair pie though so he got that and he blew a candle out with his fingertips. LOL My parents and brothers came up to stay at my house tonight and I made dinner. It was fun to hang out and just be with them! Cody and Becki came over too – so it was great!

oct21I got to spend time with my family today. Beth skipped school and went with me and my parents to Lane and Colby’s State Cross Country Meet. It was really fun to see my brother and my nephew run in the same race. They did amazing and it was so awesome to see them cross the finish line – Colby just a few steps ahead of Lane. They both made it in the top 10 so they got some great medals and their team placed 5th – not too shabby for not having a team even come to state in several years. After the race we went to dinner with my sister’s family and my parents and brothers before they all headed home.

oct22I spent a lot of time doing some design work today and almost finished up my VillanZ Kit. But I didn’t get a photo today and actually I really wanted to share a couple of cute photos of Beth and Whitnee from yesterday. Beth loves her cousin Whitnee SO MUCH and Whitnee is really good to play with Beth even though she is 2 years older. It was so fun to see them play at Sugarhouse Park as we waited for Lane and Colby’s race to begin. These girls are so cute!

oct23Today was Beth’s field trip to the Pumpkin Patch with her preschool. I was so glad that I could go with her. It was fun to get to know her classmates and their parents a little bit better. We went through a corn maze, played on some awesome slides (including Beth’s favorite slide where you went down in a burlap potato bag!), petted some animals, went on a hayride, and got to pick a small pumpkin to take home! Beth had so much fun!

Since Beth went to the PUMPKIN PATCH we decided to do something fun with JJ today too – so while Joey was gone doing his podcast, we had a “P” night. After dinner we got in our PAJAMAS, watched PETE’S Dragon, and had a snack of POPTARTS and POPCORN!

oct24JJ finally got a haircut today – it’s been needing it for a long while – I really think he looks good with short hair. We also got a little grocery shopping done. Joey had the opportunity to go to the BYU vs TCU Football game. BYU lost badly, but I think Joey still had a good time-he says that somehow watching TCU is going to help our Utes team do better against them. 🙂 While Joey was gone to the game – we took the 2 little pumpkins that Beth got from the pumpkin patch and created a little Halloween Decoration with some things I had on hand. We put some beads on a string and wrapped it around and created a little spider and ghost to go on top. I think it turned out cute!

oct25I sang with the choir in church today – I am really glad that I have the opportunity to sing again. It’s a wonderful outlet and so fun. We also had home teachers come over for a visit and we got our temple recommends renewed.

I love seeing Joey with the kids – especially at bedtime. He has such a fun routine with them – including choosing the stuffed animal that they each get to sleep with for the night. Tonight as we had scriptures and prayers at their bedsides – I just couldn’t help but pull out the camera and get a few shots of Joey and his little girl!
