Starting Halloween off Right

I was getting the kids ready to leave for aerobics this morning at about 9:00am when we got a knock on the door. Isaac hurried and answered it only to find this thing at our door. I looked up and had no clue who it was. It was our neighbor Berkeley. He wanted to come show the kids his Halloween costume. I found it the perfect way to start off this spooky day!
Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Land

Pumpkin Land was so fun. We had a great time together as a family. Tim's mom and sister's family came along with us. Sam and Isaac did manage to get lost in the corn maze. Then grandma went to find them and then she got lost. We picked some great pumpkins to carve. We'll be sure to post the pictures of our amazing carving skills later.

Award Winning Pie

After


I never win anything!!! And my apple pie won 1st place at our Relief Society's bake off! I know huge accomplishment huh? Tim was proud!

First Time on a School Bus

Isaac had his very first field trip at preschool last week. He was so super excited because he was going on the school bus. He and his class took a field trip to a dentist office. He said it was really fun but the best part was riding on the bus. Preschool is going very well for Isaac. He even has a little preschool romance budding.

Just The Girls

I wanted to express how much love I have for my in-law family! They are such a blessing in my life. As friends move away and things change in life family stays forever. I want them each to know how much I love them and how incredible each one of them are. The only one missing in this picture is Lisa. She wasn't able to come down and have dinner with us, but she is so important in my life and I love her so much too! Family is awesome and what a great joy to know that we will be together forever. My heart has been so full of emotion lately for all the wonderful blessings in my life. I'm not good with words and most of the time I have a difficult time expressing in words what I feel, but I'm filled with so much love for my family and am so blessed in my life.

Halloween Pages 2006

Isaac, Hailey and I put up our Halloween decorations and we got really excited for Halloween. Isaac claimed he couldn't fall asleep last night because he kept thinking about Halloween night. I also got excited to scrap some Halloween pages. Here is what I came up with.

Sick Girl!

Hailey had the 24 hour flu bug. She only threw up twice but twice to many if you ask me! I hate when my kids throw up, it's so sad. Well, she projectile vomitted all over my front room carpet, so I had a bowl handy just in case. Hailey didn't see a need to have it just sit there. Here are some of the ways she found to use it. I must say that it does make a lovely hat.
A huge thanks to my brother Kevin for coming over early this morning and cleaning my carpet!!

Little Mommy

The other weekend I had my friend Serena come over and help me hang up curtains in my home. I love how it turned out. I hope to get some good pics of them soon. While we were working I looked over and saw Hailey trying to change her little Cinderella doll's diaper. It was soooo cute!

Ward Campout!

Our ward campout was a few weeks ago. Tim and I are on the activites commitee and are really enjoying our calling. The camp out went really well and the food was great! Tim and Isaac camped while Hailey and I went home and enjoyed our own beds. (I DON'T CAMP!)

My New Favorite Page

My sister and I did this page together. I love how it turned out. Thanks Julie!

First Day of Preschool!

Isaac had his first day at preschool today and he loved it! He woke up so early this morning because he was just too excited. He goes to school Monday - Thursday for 3 hours. He has great teachers and has already made new friends. I was invited to attend the first day with him and watch a typical day. I'm excited for him to be independent and start school. He loves learning, playing and making friends. He's so happy to finally be able to go to school like his cousins! Isaac we love you and always want you to be happy!!

GO MIGHTY COUGARS!!!

Tim and I were able to go to both games where the Cougars shut out UCLA and Wyoming! It was unbelievable! So much fun. I had to put in a picture I took of the bored Pokes fans that sat below us. They were actually really good opposing fans to sit by. They did make us laugh when one of them yelled "Fine! We won't sell fireworks to you anymore!!!" Tim's dad gets season tickets every year, so a HUGE thanks goes to Chuck for the fun times!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO COUGARS!!!!!!
Now for my blonde moment! I have to laugh at myself because it was totally ridiculous! Around the top of the stadium are flags representing each school that is in the Mountain West Conference. I found myself looking at the flags (during the many, many TV timeouts). I saw a red flag and didn't recognize which school it was. I wondered whether there was a school added into the conference. It read HATU. I'm thinking what University is that? I turned to Tim and asked him what school that was. As soon as I asked, it hit me! I gasped and started laughing. Duh Leslie, HATU is UTAH spelled backwards! The flag only faces one way and I was reading it backwards! There you go folks! Bring on the comments!
