Halloween Party time

Londyn and Brexen were invited to a friends dressup birthday party yesterday. It was such a fun party, the kids had a great time.

This is my little cowboy Brex, he wore this with pride. I couldnt beleive that he kept his hat on the entire time:)

Later this same day we went to our wards trunk or treat- chili cookoff. What a slammin' turn out, the kids had a blast and they made a killing on the candy.

Brex was out keeping everyone in line with his pistol

Britt was off with her friends the whole time. What fun costumes!

We are true hunters!

We totally look like great hunters if I dont say so myself

Brad doesnt quite look awake yet. However it was like christmas morning for me, I was so excited.

this was as successful as we were in the time we got to hunt. I dont think this deer is going to make to much jerky, darn! We did see a couple bucks, but the shots were quite far. Owell atleast there was to gutting the deer left for us to do:)

Some of the boys, I wont name names. Umm Brian, wernt sure if they wanted some girls along for their manly hunt. But we looked so cute in our camo how could they have resisted us.

The Icecream Man

It has been forever since I have seen an "Icecream Man" drive through our neighborhood. But what was really funny is that both Brittany and Londyn both heard the music and instantly new to run out front calling for me to bring the money:)) Brex just followed excitedly not really knowing what he was running for.

the kids were still in AWE over how cool it was that some guy in a truck would bring them icecream:)))

Brexen is 2!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to our little Camo! He is such a silly boy who keeps us going nonstop. We LOVE him so much!!!

close up anyone?

Raking leaves are fun to do

we went out back to rake up some leaves and the kids had a great time. The weather has been pretty great almost the entire time we have been here in Blanding.

a sick boy shouldnt look soooo cute:)

My little man Brex seriously canNOT stay well for 2 minutes. While being in Blanding for only a few days he was crying tons and telling me that his mouth hurt, as well as running a fever, so we grabbed a flashlight and looked in his mouth, we instantly noticed a huge white lesion on his throat and it was also very swollen, ummm duhh that would cause for a sore throat. After dealing with insurance because we are on an HMO we were told that the best route for us was to take him to an ER. So off we went. This cute pic is of Brex chillin on the hospital bed with his ipod, he was such a good boy while we waited. The nurse and the doctor both commented on how good he was to just let them look him over. Yah that would be because he is a pro at going to the doctor unfortunatly. We found out that he has that viral hand and foot sickness, even though the sores are only in his mouth right now. They dont look like they going to spread. Hopfully we are good for awhile:)

part 1 of our utah trip

Grandma Nancy, Grandma Julie, and my fam, (minus Brad) all went to enjoy lunch down at "twin rocks" in Bluff. Brexen was so funny, when the waitress came over he said "Diet Coke please" and my mom started laughing and said, did he really just ask for that? he then procceded to ask for a taco too:) he had heard us talking about wanting a navajo taco. what a crack up he knows what he likes
Hear is Britt with grandma Nancy
Lulu bugs
Brex chillin on grandpa's lap while we were watching tv

We are currently still in Blanding enjoy the nice long break from life:) I love my life, but there is no place like home as dorothy said.

My little princess and Prince

Of course if I take a picture of one of them, I have to take one of the other. Life IS fare!

when I was getting Londyn ready for school the other day I asked her how she wanted her hair done. Usually we ask if she wants it down, pony, or willy neilson's (braided pigtails). She told me to hold on and came back with her princess tiara and asked that she please needed to wear that and a pony. So being the good little mommy, I did just that:)

It is funny how when a kid wears a tiara it totally changes the way they do things, totally like a princess would. Ha ha just kidding, but she did look so cute and we ended up needing to run to the grocery store and she was so proud to parade around like that all day.

wow another tooth:)

Britt has been sad that she still has all of her teeth, what's the rush, right. Well 6 months ago when we were at her dentist apt he finished her checkup and asked her if she had any questions and totally serious she asked "yes I have one question, umm how long do I need to wait until I can get my teeth whitened?" I laughed only because I didnt even know she wanted that done. He thought she was adorable and assured her that it would still be a few years because she first had to loose all of her baby teeth. This is one step closer in her book:)

what a crack up, she is so dramatic about it:) THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS TOOTH COMING OUT WAS THAT SHE SPENT THE EVENING AT NANA AND PAPA'S AND HER TOOTH WASNT EVEN LOOSE. ON THE DRIVE HOME SHE FELT IT LOOSEN AND FROM THEN IT WAS ON. WITHIN 10 MIN OF IT BECOMING LOOSE, SHE HAD IT OUT!

Brittany must be a good babysitter!

This is proof that Brittany does a great job babysitting! I came home to a clean and happy house:) I am never gone to long, but she is always willing to step in and take charge of the little ones and they just LOVE there Brittany!
Quite the little photographer also, she always gets great shots.

Oh the joy of the Dr's office:)

" Tis the season", and dont mean to be JOlly. I mean to make atleast 2 trips a week to the doctors. Yes my SRP bill might go down, but I spend every dime of that extra money at the doctors.
Last monday I took Brex in for an ear infection. Oh how nice, that he is able to now tell me his ear hurts so that I dont have to play the guessing game. Sure enough he had a double infection, so he was given amoxicillin that he has had before. However, this time after taking his entire weeks worth of daily doses, he did what Londyn did a year ago and broke out in a horrible rash and hives, so off to the doctors we go again. This is telling us that our kids are no longer able to take this because there bodies can all the sudden become allergic to this. Good news from that visit was that his infection had cleared up. But he has continued to be stuffy and not be quite himself, and on sat and sunday he was feavered the whole time. It being monday morning today we were off back to the doc's and sure enough he now has another double ear infection, so we are on a new antibiotic. we were told that if he gets anymore that he needs to get tubes in his ears. HOpefully not, but I guess lots of kids get them so we would deal with it if he had too.

Funny how it becomes easier and easier to torture your children:)) just kidding, but when the doc was leaving the room, he asked if any of us (Britt on fall break, londyn, brex or I) would like a flu shot????? hmmmm, sure all of us please. I was just thinking it could cut down on our winter visits. Ohh you would have thought that I just announced the end of the world. Of all of my kids, it was Britt who started crying with fear of the needle. It didnt help that we had to wait another 15 min in the room with the antisipation continued building of how bad it was going to be.

Brex went first, with a few tears but the bandaid fixed all. Londyn just scowled and said Ohh that hurt. Next was Britt, I seriously had to pry her out of the chair and all but sit on her while the nurse stabbed her:) I think even being 10 the bandaid helped a little:) next I got mine also. Afterwards we all felt the need to hit a target and get us a suprise for doing so good.

Backyard camping adventure

This was our backyard camping adventure. we had wanted to go up to payson to camp and then listen to confrence on the satalite but when we checked what the weather was going to be we found out that we would have been in rain the whole weekend.
so in an attempt to not disappiont the kids, we decided we could do almost all of the things we had planned right in our own backyard.
the kids had blast! and so did Brad and I:)
this was a great camping site, it came with flushing toilets, internet access, phone service and even a tub to bath everyone up before climbing into our sleeping bags.
brad and I went inside for a few minutes to let the kids fall asleep, Brex was so excited to be in the tent that he couldnt stop playing so we let him in with us for a bit and this shows how worn out he was to be able to zonk out on the floor.
