Happy Halloween

 

     This year Corey and I had a party to go to so we dressed up too.  It was pretty fun, I have to say.  Corey crashed on his bike and got a black eye/road rash face the night before, but with all that make-up no one could tell. 

 

     This year Mac was an astronaut (made the costume himself), Keaton a rock star, Tate a zombie, Breck a power ranger, and Avery was a black cat.  McKay and Keaton went out on their own with their best friend Brad.  Tate went to a party in the neighborhood and the twinners went out with Corey. 

     We finished the night off with sorting and trading candy (of course) and watching "Watcher in the Woods." 

 

      Almost everyone coordinated their pumpkins to their costumes...pretty fun! 

 

 



First Honey Harvest

     We've had bee's for two years now, so this year we were able to harvest.  It was a small harvest, but fun!  Way to go Babe! 

Dancer Girl

      This little girl has been begging to take a dance class.  We found a great little beginner class through the school district and she's loved it!!  I thought it'd be a great opportunity for me to sit and read, but who can read when their only daughter is in her first dance class!!  It was so fun to watch her feeling so big and loving being with her friends and learning to dance.  Miss Charlotte was great!  Way to go Miss Avery!!  Love you Dancer Girl! 

Let School Begin!

      How does time go so fast?  We moved to our home the week before McKay started kindergarten, this year he started Middle School.  The school district changed their grades making elementary k-5, middle school 6-8 and high school 9-12 so McKay started middle school well, right in the middle.  He was pretty nervous, but excited for his first day.  He loved that he could ride his bike.  He was especially excited for his elective classes of exploring technology, art, and band.  Middle school starts a lot earlier than elementary so that's something to get used to but he gets home a full hour before the other kids too. 

      Fifth and second grades for these two Chinese immersion students.  I'm so so happy with their teachers this year.  Keaton has Ms. Tracy and Kao Lao Shi and Tate has Miss Longaker and You (prounounced Yo) Lao Shi.  They're all great & I'm ever grateful for wonderful teachers! 

 

 

These two don't start kindergarten for two years so we're doing our own preschool this year.  It's been so fun to do together and every day they can't wait for "school."

Round Valley Race

       We had a great time at the Round Valley Race a few weeks ago.  Corey's good friend Drew puts this race on and it's a great, family friendly event.  Everyone got to race!  Here's our pre-race line up.
And our finishers.....great job guys!!!!

Uncle Karl's Comin' to Town

     Uncle Karl lives in Arizona so when he comes to visit it's a great excuse to get everyone together.  We met up American Fork Canyon for a yummy BBQ and catching up.  I love this picture of my Dad and his two younger siblings Karl and Tracy, and Weston interested in something else. 
                                                                                                                                            
      

     Of course the river was a huge hit!  Keaton, Tate and Mac above, Avery and Wyatt below.  Yes, that's Adam & Hayley's kid....two years old and as tall as my four year olds. 

                                                            Fun night in a beautiful place! 
    

Mud

Sometimes I'm a fun mom because I try to be.  Sometimes I'm a fun mom because I didn't catch them in time....play on.
