HALLOWEEN!!

Here are some pics of our Halloween shennanigans. We went to the tri-ward trunk or treat- it was a little crazy with millions of people-(ok-maybe not a million-but a lot) Logan was loving trunk or treating. She "got it" this year and knew just what to do. It was fun to watch her walk up and say "trick or treat" in her quiet little voice. When we were leaving she kept saying "Can we get more candy?" Weird to think next year Cache will be running around with her-going crazy for candy too..

My crazy bee. She was a funny little bee and would pretend to sting everyone with her arm-not her bum

I think he was a cute little tiger if I do say so myself.

TAKE YOUR PURSE!!

I was completely looking forward to being with my hubby and hanging out with my SIL Brittani and Grant in Albuquerque this weekend. The boys had meetings for work and Brittani and I were going to do all kinds of Christmas shopping-kid free (except for Cache and Isaac). Perry and I were planning to go to the temple. I was so excited for a little break. The weekend didn't turn out quite as planned. I was all packed and ready to go on Thursday around 3-but Perry didn't come home until almost six. Off to a late start-oh well. We decided to drive straight to Abq to eat. Finally arrived in Abq around 9 and decided to go to the Olive Garden. I grabbed both my purse and diaper bag to take inside-but hesitantly put the purse back bc I had everything I needed in my diaper bag. Why take two bags?? In spite of feeling like I should take my purse in I put it back-big mistake. After enjoying a good meal-we walked out to our cars to find the passenger side of our window smashed and the driver side of their window smashed. "Oh no-not my purse" I thought. Sure enough-my purse was gone.. My brand new purse that I bought a month ago! My brain started going through everything I had inside. My wallet with all my credit/debit cards, driver's licence, newly renewed temple recommend-(so much for going to the temple), and worst of all my camera!! Seriously!! I always put my camera in my diaper bag-why not this time!! Feeling very stressed and ticked off Perry called the police. Of course they came half hour or so later and did a report. After sweeping the glass out of the cars we drove back to the motel and stayed up until 1:30 in the morning closing accounts. Of course they were already charging up my accounts-couple hundred getting gas at gas stations-red box charges. etc. I was so royally ticked that it took me a while to fall asleep. No worries-Cache kept me up crying all night anyway. The whole night I kept dreaming of my purse being stolen-lovely. The next morning I woke up feeling a little better. I decided that there was nothing I could do-so I might as well change my attitude. We spent the next day waiting for our cars to be fixed. First they said one would be done by noon-but they weren't done until 4 or so. So much for shopping. At least I had good company with Brittani being there. Our motel was in the middle of no where-but at least we were able to walk to a cute cafe for lunch and go to a little home decor store. We spent the rest of the time walking and chatting on the grass until the boys came back with a car that finally got fixed. We were able to do a little bit of shopping and then went to eat at a steak house-which was good. The next day we went to Kohl's and an outdoor shopping mall-then we buzzed back home for the trunk or treat. The moral of this story is to always listen to your instincts and the spirit's promptings. And Take your purse!!!-or at the very least hide it...Lesson learned for me.

A Big Pink Whale

Logan has been saying so many silly things lately and I decided I need to start writing them down-so I don't forget. Here is our conversation from today.

Me: "Logan, are you a monkey?"

Logan: "Yeah, and you're a whale"

Me: "I'm a whale!?" "What kind of a whale?"

Logan: "A pink, big whale"

(Thanks for the confidence booster)

FALL FESTIVITIES

I love fall-it is such a fun time of year. Perfect temperature..beautiful leaves..fun Halloween decorations..apples with carmel..pumpkins..new sweaters to wear..The list could go on and on. Anyway- we have had fun this year going to pumpkin patches and the witches at Gardner Village. I took some cute pictures and couldn't help but post them.

Sutherland Farms pumpkin patch

The kids (uh mostly just Logan) were excited to pick out their pumpkins. (I know Cache will be all over the place next year) I love this little playground full of corn.

Logan riding with Harley on the train.. She started crying during the middle of the ride-but Harley had her smiling by the end.

All the cousins.

Milking the cow

This was at a pumpkin patch in Orem.

Corn mazeWe literally got lost..We were the only ones there and no workers were around to ask where to get out. We were trying to push our strollers in the mud with crying children. Too funny

Love this one of Logan and Cache

Logan Cache and Hallie right before it started downpouring...

The witches at Gardner Village. This is a fun place-there are cute little shops and boutiques and the funniest, cutest witches all over the place.

Ha ha-try to get 4 kids smiling at the same time-doesn't work..At least they are all looking at me. This one is so cute with her big ol nose.

My favorite..I had to get a picture with the witch and all her frogs.

The kids had fun decorating their pumpkins. We bought these foam stickers and they loved putting them on. (plus it was super easy-)

I just have one question...What are YOU going to be for Halloween? I would like to dress up this year-if I can talk my husband into it-but he hates dressing up so I don't know if I will or not.

HAPPY FALL

No More Diapers!!

Waaahooo! Logan has now been accident free (both day and night) for a week now. Yeaay! -I think its safe to say we won't be buying diapers anymore...
She loves her princess underwear which she is proudly showing off..

Now...if only I could get her to stop mooning everyone..LOL..hmmmm...

Is it too early to start training this guy??
