Getting ready for the Holidays

Here are the cute Christmas outfits that Gma Pam got the kids.
I left the room for just a minute and came back to this, poor boy! He didn't even cry he was just trying to see the music to special agent oso.

Then it was MJ's turn

mess monster returns

Well, he is a cute monster!

Vacuum Woes!

So I was vacuuming the other day and all of the sudden I got something good, one of those loud clicking sounds (you know what I'm talking about). Then it kept going and going like it was bouncing around in the bag, when BANG! dirt started to shoot out of the filter. I thought oh great I broke it, then I though okay this is good I broke it (I have been wanting a new vacuum). I opened up the front to find a huge hole in the bag and the little plastic piece that I sucked up . To make a long story short, I changed the bag put the front back on and went back to vacuuming. Maybe I need to find a bigger piece of plastic to break the old beast.

Fall Fun!

Our neighbors sister crimped all the girls hair on Halloween. So we all got to re live the 80's for one night

Falling Behind?!

Wow we have been super busy, Sorry! My Aunt Cozy flew out for a week and the night before I was cleaning and getting the kids ready for bed when my mom called and asked to talk to MJ, I thought okay, so I put it on speaker phone and she told MJ that there was a package on the front step. I thought she had tracked a package or something and opened the door and there was my mom standing on the front porch. I couldn't believe it and come to find out that everyone knew but me, my neighbors knew, the St Cyr's knew and almost everyone at Matt's work too. So to say the least I have been having a blast and sad that they had to go home. Aunt Cozy and us at Powers Pumpkin Farm

I enlisted the help of the neighbors kids to dig up our garden, they were looking for worms

by the handful to be exact!

MJ's cake and Party went really well

Matt won the ward chili cook off (he was very proud of his trophy)

LL jammed in the car with our corn stalks (she asked every minute if we could drop them off somewhere)

Happy 5th Birthday MJ!

I still can't believe that I have a 5 year old. She has grown up so fast and is such a big help to me. Happy Birthday beautiful girl!!

MJ's spelling

MJ looks at me and says, "Mom, I know how to spell Peanut Butter... J I F... Peanut Butter" I laughed and said, "no honey that's just the brand it's called Jif. "
