Halloween

Halloween was filled with sweets, the boys first sucker, Ellie cheering all night long, people asking us, "so what are your boys?"...they are army boys, hence the camo and painted faces by dad. It was an easy costume and they loved it! The best was having the trick or treaters come to our house. We had a steady flow of kids ringing our doorbell. Stay tuned for next year...

"We're going on a fieldtrip!"

Ellie had her first field trip to the pumpkin patch, and first school bus ride! I got to go with her and it was really fun. It makes you realize how the little things in life can make us so happy! Ellie and her boys, and Ellie and her girls. Ellie loves her friends!

*Tip for the day: Go on a bus ride!!

Pumpkin Time

As we were heading home from school today we passed this way cool pumpkin patch and I pulled the car over. They had a mini bounce house, perfect size for the twins, a maze made out of hay that was as tall as the twins...way safer so I can see them...a mechanical bull(that must be a valley thing) Ellie wanted to ride it and so I told her to go ask the lady. The lady said she didn't feel comfortable operating it, she wasnt' quite sure how to work it, oh dear! Well we left with 3 pumpkins, a nice skid rash mark on coopers face from falling, and 3 hungry tired kids ready for dinner, and no daddy to come home too! He is in Arizona till Thursday for work...we miss you. Happy Fall! (Cooper is in the jacket, James in the white onesie)

"Cafe Dean"

We are loving the kitchen! The fact that last night Jacob stayed up till 1 A.M. to install our new gargabe disposal and do all the plumbing to hook up the sink, I must say my husband is
"da man!" Now, I can fully utilize my kitchen without having to run outside to wash dishes or in the bathtub. Modern amenities I don't know how people do without them!

Burnette Baby!

So I am constantly changing my hair, thanks to my mom, but this is the first time I am truly a burnette, I like it, it is a change, good for fall. I was hating roots! My hair is naturally this color, so take a look! For those of you girls out there scared to change, just do it!

We have counters!!!!

Finally! The counters were installed today and the first to enjoy them were none else than...the missionaries from our church! Jacob had signed up to have them over for dinner. Perfect timing. We still have to do the backsplash but we are getting there!

Climbers by: Cooper & James

This is Cooper & James here, and we just wanted to say we are driving our mom crazy because we decided that we can climb up onto everything by ourselves! A little teamwork and we can do some damage. But no worries, our mommy always seems to catch us just in time! Partners in crime-Cooper & James
