Jacob's Birthday Party

Well two months later we finally did it.  Jacob got a birthday party!!!  He described his Lego party as "The Best Party Ever."  #9yearsold #14boys 

Jaker's Pumpkin Patch

I had fun with this little guy at Jaker's Pumpkin Patch today.  He loved the maze and corn pit.  He didn't like the loud geese, and wouldn't try the slides.

Bedtime Stories

Oh how I love my time with Liam when I put him to bed at night.  Sometimes I am so tired and I don't want to, but the rewards I get from it can't be measured.  We begin by brushing his teeth, going potty, getting on Jammie's and then on to books.  Tonight we read 3 books:  Thank You Thank You Thanksgiving, The Wide Mouth Frog and The Tickle Monster.  He just smiles and giggles through it all.  He then asks for Primary songs (tonight was a baptism song), and then I tuck him in like my parents use to do with me. Finally, when I turn out the lights and turn on the night light we have to tell each other secrets.  His are usually long Once Upon A Time stories, mine are more like I Love You.  He tries to keep this going as long as possible until I leave the room, or I kindly threaten to take his night light if he gets up ;)  Man I am sad this is my last little guy I get to do this with.  The kids are growing up way too fast!

Halloween 2014

Halloween this year was one for the books, but one where I forgot to take good pictures.First, Dustin woke up and surprised us all by shaving off his beard and having a costume planned and ready to go.  He took first place in the voting at work and I think he scared everyone ;)

Since Dustin came up with something, I quickly went through the kids dress-ups and found cat ears and a tail so I had a costume of my own.  For the daytime errands Liam was Muscle Man.

For nighttime trick-or-treating Liam became Buzz Lightyear.

This is liam and his best friend Lumia.  I secretly hope he marries her.  She is a doll.

Jonah was once again the funny guy, and decided to be Minnie Mouse.

Jacob lost most of his Indian costume, because "it is just too hard to run in."

Savannah didn't want to dress up, so instead Dustin arrested her for vandalism.😳
