TricK oR TreATinG

This year was a lot of fun, kaden was batman and connor was our little pirate. Kaden would run to every door and say "trick or treating" give me candy" connor would drag his little bag to every door he loved getting candy out himself and then putting it in his own little bag.... Chris and I loved every minute watching our boys trick or treat.... They sure made our night. Then we went back to nana's house and partied !
Isn't my hubby good looking.....

I love this picture, connor just held on tight to his bag to every door....

This is my brother! he is a lot of fun, and gave us all a good laugh( you are a good sport bro)

3 yr old for SALE!

I can not seem to WIN! Today kaden decides to get the Vicks vapor rub and rub it all over the same wall he colored on but on the other side now there is a big Grease stain!!! It is all over connor and furniture I just CRIED!This time I just walked away and locked myself in my room to SCREAM in my pillow. .... I don't know if you have ever tried to get that stuff off (IT DOESN'T) it has left a grease stains every where AHHHHHHHH !!!! Time out lasted 45 min this time, I don't think it did any good.....Kaden really isn't a naughty boy but sure has me wondering.... Is this a stage or am I really in for it?

Did this really HAPPEN!

Somehow Mr. Kaden got into one of our games that had an Eraser board maker in it, when I came up stairs I found kaden in the Nursery behind the chair making such pretty ART.... I looked at Connor first and new right away kaden was being NAUGHTY..... I can't believe this really happened, this is my favorite room in the house and now I have to repaint it.But trying to remember what paint I used is another story..... It was on the floor all on and around the vent....

This is my favorite chair, I bought it at the DI'S and it is way confy now it has kaden's siginture mark.....

SO NAUGHTY!

Maxi Pad

Ok so I am admitting that life around here is crazy, Yesterday I found 3 diapers and I was sure that would hold us until this morning, never underrestimate my little connor! I went to work last night not know that Chris had used 2 already before Connor went to bed so this morning I changed connor thinking ok that should hold until we go.... NeVeR assume anything right...??? next thing I know COnnor decides to poop and it was not one you could just let go for a few minutes, so desperate times call for desperate measures!
We put Connor is kaden's size 3 underwear (which totally fit) umpa lumpa !!!! and we put one of my maxi pads in it to hold us until we got to the store. Ok so are you laughing yet? The maxi pad totally worked and guess what they are way cheaper than diapers so ummmm I thinken I will not buy diapers anymore and go with the maxi pad(JUST KIDDING) but if you ever are in need maxi pad to the rescue....

Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun today! It has been way to long since we took the kids somewhere like this... We went to Wheeler Farm and it was the best COLD but so fun... They had face painting, pumpkin decorating, Fish pond, games etc... I enjoy watching my boys smile and having fun, kaden loved picking his own pumpkin I will never forget his sweet little face when he found the ONE. That is the picture right below. Being a mother is the best I just love it so much.....

Question?

Ok so I have been trying to put a picture where the saying "Enjoy the journey" but can't seem to get it to work, I go into layouts go into that part where you can add a picture or saying, add the picture save it and then it doesn't show up.. WHAT am I doing wrong? any advice?

Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great

importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be

sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and

appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Still Alive!!!!

There is no better season then FALL! Today I was just sitting outside with my boys enjoying every minute of the cool weather and the smell of Fall.
Some of you have wondered if I am still alive and yes still alive..... Tired but alive! Life has a new meaning to me and Chris these days things have gone a different way then expected and trials you thought could not get any worse, but the main thing is, is that Chris and I have discovered our little family in more ways than one. I have a new appreication for being a mother and wife and what it means to sacrifice! I have a greater love for my Savior and Missionary work. Life is full of miracles and to be apart of that has such a great feeling. I was able to see an old missionary companion, she is from New York,(she sounds like the nanny, sorry had to say that celine:) it has been 3 years or more I just wanted to tell her how much I love her. Celine was my companion at the end of mine when I got really sick she was someone I needed who became more than my friend but a sister to me. I love knowing that sometimes you can remember the great feelings you once had, memories that will last a life time. I wish I had a picture of her maybe I can find an old one and post it. Thank you celine for making time to visit me and my boys we just love you and wish you and your hubby the best.

More Family Pictures

My darling friend Amanda took our family pictures for us ! Thank you so much for doing this for us, it was not easy with the kids but we may it through it. ") The one day connor decides to through a fit(lol) oh well got to love 1 yr olds

Family Pictures

Bored? or just being silly?

Apparently my son thinks it's winter, I came out and kaden wanted to get the sled out so I said oh well looks like fun... I am sure our neighbors got a good laugh at us some days you just have to be creative..... Either that or we were really bored... Probably a little of both:)

Labor day weekend

We did a lot of fun things for the labor day weekend, went to BRIDAL VAIL FALLS in Springville, took kaden roller skating for the first time, and played a lot at the park. We love being outdoors playing! Boys are so much fun! BUSY but fun....

American Fork Canyon

Soccer buddies

Kaden and his buddies all started soccer ,they are so fun to watch , daddy is the coach too which makes it even more fun for kaden.... Noah, kaden & adam

Noah and kaden bumped into eachother so they gave eachother hugs! these boys cannot get enough each other (kaden said"it so nice to have a best friend.... )

ok so I know what you are thinking ! but hey maybe soccer will do some good:) This is so much fun for me to see kaden in soccer I love it, he was ment for sports and I love that chris is the coach I have always wanted that.
