Ward Halloween Party!!

Our Ward Halloween Party was last night. The kids had a blast winning prizes from all the different games. Balloon Dart, Fish Pond, Candy Bar Walk, Bean Bag Toss are just a few that they were able to do.Then after dinner which was Soups,Chili,and Cinnamon Rolls they had a Trunk or Treat. We are on the Activity Committee so I was busy in the kitchen so Shantelle and her Family came to it so she took Braxlyn and Taesyn out with her to do the Trunk or Treat. When they came back in I couldn't believe how full Braxlyn's bucket was.So by the time we got home with 4 buckets we had gobs of Candy this is the end result. 6 Cotton Candy's,5 Vampire Teeth, 4Bubbles, 5 Play dough and after dumping all the candy together 2 buckets chucked full of candy. They asked if they could go Trick or Treating on Friday night I told them I don't think so we have enough candy to last the whole year. They all had a Blast at the party so thanks to everyone that helped it was alot of FUN!!!

Happy Birthday MoM!!!

For Mom's B-day we went out to eat at Chili's just the adult's. A guy came and made her a balloon hat she was so embarassed. But she couldn't figure out what it was for a long time we would tell her and she was like it looks like a helicopter so we would tell her again that it was a palm tree then she was like what is this thing so we told her a monkey in the tree she finally got what it was.Mom asked Dad if he wanted to wear it and Dad said only if he could give Dad some hair with it so then he whip one up for my Dad with braids it was pretty funny.



After dinner we headed to Nazzkart for a fun night of racing and rock climbing. This place is a lot of fun if your legs aren't to short to reach the peddles of the car and your legs are cramping after the first race. But it was alot of fun to watch everyone. We saw alot of compition going on but Treg and Tricia held there own. Those two kick some butt.





Happy Birthday Mom!! Hope you enjoyed the night out and got some good Laughs in.
WE LOVE YOU!!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch and Shantelle and Rob's family was there so we took a few pictures of all the kids together.The boys only let me get a few of them and then they took off on the perfect pumpkin hunt.So here are some of the girls..




Braxlyn and Braylee have been almost inseparable since Braxlyn was a baby. She loves Braylee and they are so cute together. Braylee will come home from a friends house so she can play with Braxlyn if we go to there house. I think Braxlyn wants to be just like Bray when she grows up.Thank You Braylee for always being so good with her. She really does like you alot...

More snow fun!!!

Last week we got over 2 ft of snow. The kids loved it and we decided to take them out on the snowmobile for rides and push them down Grandma and Grandpa's hill in the tube. They played out side till lunch and came in soaking wet the snow was so wet. Every year we break out the snowmobile for the one big storm and this year we got to do it early.So hopefully we will get more snow when winter is actually suppose to be here so we can do it again.

Winter Wonder Land!!

Waking to Winter Wonder Land!!!

This morning we woke up to a winter wonder land. The kids begged all morning to go out and play. Brandon and Kim's kids were here and so we hurried to dress all 7 kids. That is alot of work for one mom. By the time I got all kids dressed and ready I had kids complaining that they were sweaty.Ahhh!!! We finally sent all kids out and they had a blast.Snowball fights, white washing and sled rides were all included in the fun. Braxlyn was finally able to go out by herself and walk in the snow this year without falling over and not being able to get back up. They grow up so fast. Soon one by one they started to come in with freezing hands,socks in the bottom of boots,and cold noses.Finally it was time to break out the hot chocolate maker and warm all the kids back up.

Spending lots of time at the Dentist Office

We have spent alot of time at the dentist office this week. First started with Shay when her tooth broke in half on Monday night while she was crunching on ice. So Tuesday I had to make her an appointment to get it fixed.We ended up being there for about 1 1/2hrs. Then today Stattyn and Taesyn had an appointment Stattyn had alot of permanent teeth coming in behind his baby ones so he ended up having a total of 4 teeth pulled. I feel bad for him because I had to have the same thing done when I was little to most of mine they just never get loose and the permanent ones come in which makes for a mouth of crooked teeth. But he was so good through the whole thing and was alot braver then I was at his age. Taesyn came out with no cavities and was happy that he got to pick a prize for being so brave even though there was a few tears stream down his face he did excellent for his first time.We were there today for about 1 1/2 hrs.If anybody need a good Dentist Dr.Garrard is awesome with little kids.So glad we don't have to do this for a while again.
