Egg carton Airplane

Little A loves it when we use all the eggs out of the carton so he can make something out of it.  Every time he comes up with something new!  This time it was an airplane.  He did everything by himself from cutting the pieces, designing, and gluing it together!  I loved the wheels that he made and the wings!  He is so creative and I hope that I can always encourage it so that he does not loose it!

Cleaning

The other day while Little A was at Preschool.  We had Sophie at our house.  I had to laugh because Katie always takes picture of these 2 at her house and they are hugging or playing with house with dolls.  All they wanted to do for like 30 minutes was take turned using the broom and cleaning!  All I could think of is I am the evil step mother and they are the little Cinderellas.

First Snow 2011

We have received our first snow.  Little A could not wait to get out in it.  I did not get pictures on Saturday for him and his daddy shoveling the snow.  On Sunday morning he wanted to go out so I got him ready and he headed out again.

Making the first snow angel of the year!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year.  Little A is young enough but old enough to really enjoy Halloween.  We did a whole lot of trick-or-treating.  We went to Grandma Pickett, the Mall, down town Logan, our neighborhood, and ended the night at Grandma Tamra and Grandpa Eldens.

On our way to down town we stopped by Grandpa Elden’s shop the kids all love Gayle my dad secretary.  She is so amazing and had brought in special candy that day hoping and knowing that the kids would stop in.  We miss out and should have gotten her in a picture with all the kids too.

The kids coming out of one of the stores down town.  In and out was the way the filled their bags!

I dared Jodi and Kim to go sit and act like they were driving the UPS truck and they would not.  So instead I decided to convince a younger person and of course Jordan took the dare but we only let her climb on to the stairs!

Trick-or-treating in out neighborhood!  Later we meet up with our friends the Browns to finish up the area.

Little A and Miss M at Grandma Tamra and Grandpa Elden’s door step.  Little A was so good this year to Say trick-or-treat loud and then to say thank you!

The kids in their costumes this is the best pictures I got!

All the cousins that were there in their costumes.  After the picture we ate dinner and then played some games!

My parents had a piñata for the kids which was a great hit!  I love on matter what the age there is just something about candy falling to the ground that make kids excited.  Miss M was so fun she was so excited and happy for everyone even though she did one ever take a swing!

Preschool Halloween Party

Little A is a Robot this year, He was so excited to get to wear his costume to preschool for their party and program!  Miss M love his costume and thinks that it is pretty cool and likes to turn his knobs and push his light on!

Little A and his classmates reading book waiting to start the program!

During the program the sang the songs that they had learned so far this year.  Some were Halloween and some not it was so cute I just can not believe he is this old!  Little A is in a 4 year old preschool because my friend Meagan it the teacher so he is the smallest kid by a long shot!

Andrews Preschool Class!  Little A loves preschool and the different boys and girls that are in his class.  Savannah is the candy corn witch in the picture!

I want to do it myself!

Miss M is not wanting any help when eating now.  So here is what she looks like after every meal.  She will also not use a bib we have tired all different kinds and she finds a way to get them off.  So She eats a lot of her meals with out clothes on!

Pumpkin Carving 2011

Adam is the artist in our family so he is really the one in charge of this activity in our family.  Usually I get to clean out the pumpkins but this year Little A wanted that job and I did not complain about it at all!

Miss M did not get to participate much.  Instead she colored a picture while we did the pumpkins.


Little A picked the faces for the pumpkins.  His is the scary face and Miss M is the silly face.

All lite up!

Sitting by their creations!

Fall Harvest Festival 2011

Every Year we head over to the American West Heritage Center for their Fall Harvest Festival.  The kids all love all the different activities that are added and the always enjoy the Train and Pony Rides.

All aboard, this year we think the train got a bigger motor because in the past it was sooo slow and this year it was faster and the kids enjoyed riding in the caboose.

Next up is the Pony rides.  Every year we get a kick out of this because the kids always want to wait in line for it even though they can go to grandpa ranch or house and ride his horses when ever they want!

I am not sure what they were looking at or talking about but Little A and Jeff we both very serous about what ever it was.

Here we are all safe and still alive after making it through the corn maze which the kids love and the adult endure!

The big slide is always a great time.  I have to say that this is my favorite thing!  I love going down with my kids and by myself.  There is nothing like a big slide to bring the kid out in ya!
This year we were there during the candy cannon.  It was fun and the kids loved running out and gathering a bunch of candy!

The hay jump is great fun last year I tried it with Little A. and fell on my ankle weird so this year I let him do it with his cousins!

This year the had a little blue pipe side for the little kids Miss M loved it and thought is was great because she could almost do it all by herself.

Another new thing was a rope and balancing area.  The kids had a great time and even Jodi had to try her balance on the longest log!  Pictures below prove she made it on her first try.

Once again the kids had a great time and loved everything.  After we all headed to my mom’s house for pizza!
