Snapshots

This past month the two older boys and Dustin went to Six Flags with family.

I went to Waco Texas for a girl's day and had a blast, and eat way too much food.

And drawing is always big at our house.

Thomas Turns 6!

I can't believe I have a six year old!

Thomas' birthday was this past Monday. 

To say the least, it was also not a very good day. Peter ended up being really sick and we had to change a lot of our plans.

I like to have the cake and presents all out in the morning with a big Happy Birthday sign for when the kids wake up for their birthday. Well this year the cake started falling apart and the sign fell down, so it looked very sad that morning. 

But despite all the craziness Thomas handled it well and said he still had a good birthday.

I'm so grateful for this six year-old in our lives!

Halloween Festivities

We had a great Halloween this year, it's so fun to do traditions with our little family. 

About a week ago we frosted some Halloween cookies but I ran out of time to make frosting so I sent Dustin to the store to get some, and he came home with just blue, so our cookies weren't very Halloweenish ha ha, but the kids had a great time. 

Then Sunday we carved some pumpkins at grandma Lisa's. We almost didn't carve pumpkins this year, but I'm glad we did.

Then on Halloween for school they had a 50's day to celebrate their 50th day at school. Thomas was very excited to have a root beer float party.

Then trick-or-treating!  The kids were very excited about trick or treating!

For our ward party we all dressed up, Pretty sure Dustin and I were the only adults in costume. As a family we didn't have a theme this year, Dustin and I are Lupin and Tonks from Harry Potter in case you can't tell.

Pumpkin Patches

I don't know why blogging has been taking me forever to get around to, I have had these pictures edited forever ago and just now I am posting about it. 

The past month we have enjoyed going to some pumpkin patches. One night for FHE we went to the pumpkin patch near our house, the kids especially loved the maze part.

Then one day for playgroup we went to another pumpkin patch, the kids loved the corn bin. I'm still finding random corn in  my house.

 Gotta love a crying picture.

A boy and his Dog

Sorry for the repeat for those you follow me on social media.

About a month ago we were in Ikea when Peter saw this dog, I let him play with it planning on not actually buying it but he loves this dog that I didn't have the heart to take it away and ever since this dog has not left his side and it's the cutest thing.

September

I was really bad at blogging this past month, and actually this year.

Life just gets busy and I have been meaning to blog the past two weeks. 

What happened in the month of September:

Thomas was the student of the week and he got to take "Champ" the dog home, and of course when Champ was here Peter threw up on him, and he had to get a bath. The two youngest boys had that mouth, hand, foot disease for two weeks. That wasn't fun, we were stuck in the house and the kids had a hard time sleeping at night because they were itchy, it was a long two weeks.

Thomas is really liking school and is already reading awesome! He loves reading and loves going to school, at least for now.

This past month I painted our front door and build Thomas a book self.

Dustin has been pretty busy at teaching this year, he's says its going to be a challenging year but is still liking it.

One of the reasons I have been bad at blogging is I have been really into a book series that has taken over my life ha ha.

And before the month was over we had our Halloween up because I couldn't wait!
