Halloween and more....

So excited....I just realized I'm up to 2 followers!!!!!! I'm super excited for tonight and the fact that I'll be able to take a nap today! I was up late last night helping my mom figure out FB....then had Bountiful Baskets at 8:15am this morning....ugh! BUT got lots of super yummy stuff....I'll have to take a picture next time of everything and post it! I have a bag ready to give to my sister....I love being able to share the yummy veggies and fruit!

Tonight will be the first time I've gone trick or treating with the boys in years! It's not been a holiday I've gotten into much recently....but this year is different...I've decorated AND made the boys' costumes...so far they are coming out just as I had them pictured in my head. I will be sure to post pictures soon of what they looked like. Considering I have a sewing machine I like to pretend I know how to use, I am highly impressed with myself for making their costumes. Last night I had 2 yards of material that actually looks like a shirt now! I wonder what I could do if I actually had a pattern....so many things I want to do....no follow through! LOL at least I followed through enough this year to complete costumes! AND they will be warmer than the costumes at Wally World!

Since I don't have any pictures of the boys yet, here are a few that we took this week:

The 2nd and 5th grades won a "Crazy Hair" day for bringing in the most box tops. The funny thing is we had 44 box tops and I split them up between the boys...so each of them brought in 22......It was kinda cool that they both won! 

Emma had a Halloween parade at school this week.....isn't she just the cutest ladybug EVER!

( She was super excited to see us in the front row )

Skylar gets two pictures!!! More to follow of this season! Sandridge made it to the playoffs for the first time since like 1994....yeah back when I was still fresh out of Sandridge!! He's #22 and did a fabulous job this year! It was so incredible to get to watch him play! The realization that the next time I watch him play in a school football game will be when he's in highschool is very, very weird!  Good job, buddy.....Super proud of you!

As I am all my boys.....I really do have the most amazing kids!

Woohoo....1st Follower.......

Gavin's Firehouse Field Trip

The 2nd grade got to visit a Weber County fire station yesterday. The firefighters were Doug, AJ, and Doug. They gave a great presentation! We walked the kids to the firehouse and that means walking along 4000 South, which is a 50mph road. Thanks to the Weber County Sheriffs for sending someone out to slow down traffic and get us there safely! It was a really fun experience.

Raising Kids

Although no one sees this blog, I figure years down the road it will be fun to see what I was thinking....so this morning this is what I'm thinking:

This raising kids thing is a never ending adventure!!!!!

Copyright Waiver

I sent a bunch of pictures to Walmart online to see what they looked like developed. I love how they look on the computer but was curious how they would look developed. On the envelope of the pictures it said "copyright?" The manager said that when they were developed, it was determined that some of the pictures were professional and required a signature from me for a copyright waiver! It totally made my day! That someone thought my pictures were professionally taken gave me a little confidence boost! These are some of the pictures that I had developed.....

Thank you, Michelle, for letting me take pictures of your beautiful daughters!

Another First......
