Elijah's Kindergarten Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

This is a classic picture.  At the pumpkin patch on the train. Poor Jason is always so tired because of his work schedule.

In the tunnel and it was pitch black.

Ezra found his favorite pumpkin!

Brothers

I just love his little head!

Hahha!

He thought this was the funniest thing ever!

Uriah loved holding his brother's pumpkin.

Tired from the pumpkin patch.

We went to the park with some friends on a friday evening and had smores and hot chocolate. It was stinkin' cold that evening too!
Watching General Conference and playing Conference Bingo at Grandma and Grandpa Meyer's.



Ezra has some decent photography skills.

My great friend Brandy offered to help Jason and I with a sewing project. This girl is seriously amazing and so talented!

Real men sew with pink material. He was making infant carseat covers for his nephews soon to be twins.

Ya, they think they're professional boxers. Gotta love boys! Don't you just love the oven mitts?

I love this picture of my grandma. And yes, she is throwing a ball at me.  I love seeing how happy she looks while throwing it at me.  She was quite the ball player growing up. I think I get my tomboyisms from her. We love Grandma Meyer!

Maci, Sadee, and Sophia wearing my sister Cami's clothes.  Cami is on a mission right now in Chile and has a room full of clothes that unfortunately are too small for me. ;-)
We went on a field trip with Sadee's class to the firestation.

Sadee's class

I love how they let us spray the water.

Of course Ezra had to have a turn too!

We walked to the firestation and Ezra was not happy to leave!

We had to switch the boys and the girls bedrooms, since the girls room is much bigger. So we had to paint the pink... because the boys didn't want pink walls. haha!

Here is the final product. We just painted the pink, white.  Just wanted to keep the project simple. 

We had some great helpers and now the boys are loving their new room!

Jason loves it when the girls comb his hair.  Maci loves pampering daddy too.

We have a walker on our hands!
I have no idea how he got his shirt like this, but he did. He's so funny!

Elijah's pumpkin... he carved it all by himself. Wow!

Getting ready to go trick or treating.

I love going door to do and getting to know the neighbors. We got 20 pounds of candy that night just from a few streets! And there were no trick or treaters out at all in our neighborhood.

Our good friends the Nelsons came with us.  We love this family!

Ezra and Uriah fell asleep while we were trick or treating. So cute!

Before the time changed, I would send Isaiah off to school before the sun even came up. I felt crazy doing it... but knew he'd be ok. Now that the time has changed, there's plenty of sunlight. Nov 1st

Nov 1st The primary was in charge of our ward social this year. We did a chili cook off with carnival games and a trunk or treat. We had about 230 + people there. It turned out ok. I've learned though that next year we are definitely going to delegate more to other auxiliaries.

September

We had a busy busy month.  I'm not a big fan of busy all the time.  I feel it's a distraction from what's most important in life.  But... it's all part of life.  So this was our month.
Sunset

The sky was on fire that night! It was beautiful!

Maci's campaign... Saay Vote For Maci!

Playing in the backyard.

We love warm evenings! Playing in Grandma & Grandpa's backyard.

Family Birthday Celebration for Spencer & Raquel

The wreath on our front door had two nests on it. We had about 30 eggs in them throughout the year.  At first it was cool! Then it starting driving me crazy! Several eggs bounced out and scrambled on our front porch. It was always such a big mess!

Our door was caked in bird nastiness! I had to throw away the wreath. Au revoir spring and summer wreath!

The aftermath of the baby shower. It's always fun to clean up  the after math of any party at your house. It was fun and well worth it though!
We try to read our scriptures every morning before school. Try is the key word!
Elijah eats breakfast and reads. Way to be a muti-tasker!
Ezra's daily experiments! Someone looks guilty! ;-)
Jason is currently our Cub master, which will be changing shortly. And we are also the Wolf  Den Leaders until I can find someone else that can do it. At this cub meeting, we were teaching the wolves, who are 8 years old, how to raise, retire, and fold the flag. Thank you to our school and Reuben for allowing us to use their flag pole!
We had a Primary Talent Show! It was so fun!
Celebrating mi madre's birthday!



My big brother Dustin & Jason

Raquel, Christina, Bri and Trent. Nice Trent!

The younger kids playing!

The "older" girls on the computer!
People used to think Spencer and I could be twins. Do we still look alike in our 30's?

Happy Birthday Mom!

Uriah eating some cupcake.


Happy Birthday Ezra! The big 0-3!

Trying to get a picture of Ezra's little friends

A nice picture
A silly picture... but no one knows but Isaac. haha

Ezra got so tired from his party. Nap time!
This is view I have every morning while I'm making lunch. It's 6:45am and Uriah just sits at my feet waiting for me to drop some food for him to eat off the floor. He's like a doggy! haha!
