October festivities

Okay here we go - I am going to try and sum up everything that we have done in the last 2 weeks in one blog entry.
Carving Pumpkins and Making cookies: We spent one night about a week before Halloween carving our pumpkins and making yummy cookies - thanks to the kit that my mom sent the boys. The boys had a great time. Here are a few pictures.

Aidan's FieldTrip - So we ended up not missing out on Aidan's field trip after all. They ended up canceling the trip the day Aidan was sick due to rain so we were able to go the following Friday. It was very nice of the school to let Adley come as well. We went to an apple orchard and learned about different kinds of apples, took a wagon ride, walked through a corn maze and picked out pumpkins. It was fun to see Aidan interacting with the kids at this school.

Halloween - So for Halloween we had some interesting characters running through our house. Aidan was a Power Ranger, Adley was Spiderman and Eli was a jester. We went to our church for the trunk or treat. We participated in the annual chili cook-off again since last year we won first place. This year we didn't win but Jared's sister did - so we at least kept it in the family. The boys participated in the cake walk and then quickly trick-or-treated at the trunks because it was quite cold. Here are the boys dressed up.



Random Pictures - I have also included some other pictures - Enjoy!!!
This is how I found Eli one morning - standing up in his crib. He is now pulling up on everything. I am afraid he will be walking soon. Also he is getting in his two front teeth and has been a little grouchy.

Dollywood

Liam's first time on River Rampage - he got drenched but loved every minute of it! Doesn't he look so small! We wanted to do one last fun summer trip for the boys before school starts this Thursday. We took a day trip to Dollywood. We got there a little after the park opened and it was not very crowded at all. We walked on almost every ride and if we had to wait it wasn't longer than a few minutes. Last time we were there in May Adley was just shy of being able to ride all the big rides. We learned about a place where they will measure you and give you an armband that has the appropriate color that corresponds with your height category. This way you are measured once and simply just have to show your armband to get on the ride. Adley was thrilled that he was tall enough this time to ride any ride in the park. Eli and Liam also got moved up to the next category. Thank goodness for Eli because this kid has been dying to ride more rides. He and Adley are not afr...

Mickey Mouse

Mickey is a very loved mouse in our house. Liam absolutely can't get enough of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney. When he wakes up in the morning he comes straight to my room, snuggles in between Jared and I and turns on the tv for his cartoon. He sits there with his arms behind his head and legs outstretched. He is so darn cute. So the other day I decided to buy him a stuffed Mickey. He was so surprised and loved it. Checking him out. Mickey now has his own corner in Liam's crib. He likes his 'pets' in specific places. Also, guess who is potty training???? The only kiddo I have left in diapers - woot woot!!! He has started this all on his own and so I'm optimistically hoping for December to be down to pull ups at night. Liam won't speak to tell us he has to go he just pats himself and points to the bathroom - whatever works right! And here is our very first tomato from our tiny 1 plant garden....... We have a few more and hope they will ...

It's been a while . . .

since I last posted. We have been so busy this month. Adley had his Christmas program at his preschool - they studied Italy and dressed so cute. They sang the song, "when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore . . ." (not sure of the exact title). Adley has sung it several times since to many people. I think he might be musical when he gets older. We all recovered from our sickness and made the journey to Arizona to see my family. We spent 12 days there and had a wonderful time. Surprisingly it was warmer here at home while we were gone then it was in Arizona. We got to go to the Lego store, which the boys loved. We played at a really fun park, visited with friends, made a gingerbread house and sugar cookies, ate at our favorite places, went to the movies, enjoyed a visit from Santa at the house and tried to get in some rest. We had family pictures taken for the first time in 5 years since my brothers were gone on their missions. We finally g...
