Halloween 2012

I went to help in Aidan's class for his Halloween party.  He was so excited to have me there. 

 

Here he is decorating his cookies.

We made mummy dogs and vampire teeth for dinner

 

 

Since we had already gone to two trunk or treats and daddy was at school we decided the kids would stay home and hand out candy instead of trick or treating.  They had so much fun that they didn't mind not getting more candy.

Corbin with no naps

KK stopped taking naps at 2 1/2.  Aidan stopped at 4 1/2.  With Corbin it is a constant question of when I am going to stop. If I give him a nap everyday he will be up until 10 or 11.  If I don't he will be falling asleep around 5 or 6.  I have decided that I will give him a nap every other day.  That seems to be the best solution, but if he goes more than one day with out a nap you are likely to find this.

 

 

You can't really tell but his mouth still has a bite in it.

 

 

We had just gotten home from church and he wasn't eating his food so we put him in the high chair and a couple of minutes later we come in the kitchen to find him passed out backwards.

 

Heres just a random picture. Corbin wanted to take a picture with me.

Ward Trunk or Treat

We had a fun trunk or treat carnival at our church.  The kids loved playing all the games.  I hardly ever get pictures of KK anymore cause she is old enough to venture of with her friends by herself.

Visiting Trev's School

We went to a concert for Jenni Oaks Baker.  It was held at Ham Hall at UNLV.  Afterwards we walked over to the law school, where Trevor attends, to show the kids where daddy goes everyday. 

It was cool to walk the halls and see where his second home is.  Now I can picture where he is when I am talking to him on the phone.  Only 30 more months!!!

Somerset Trunk r Treat

I know I have said it before but I am going to say it again... I love KK and Aidan's school.  They put on a trunk or treat carnival.  It was so well organized and my kids had a lot of fun.

Meeting up with all their buddies.

New Hair Do

Every time after I have a baby I get a need to change up the hair.  I don't know what it is but I all of a sudden need something new.  Trev has always wanted me to do red in my hair so I thought why not.  I loved how it turned out.

 

It's a lot of up keep so I don't know how long I will keep it but for now I love it.

Trevor wanted something different to so we added some blondes.  I didn't get any after it was done though.

I love my quirky man!



Aidan's Soccer

Our Stake puts on sports for our kids to play. During the fall it is soccer.  Aidan was so excited to play for the first time this season.  He has always gone and watched KK play, but he is finally old enough.  KK didn't want to play cause she didn't want to wear shin guards.  He has had a blast. 

 

Aidan is #11

 

This is what Corbin does during Aidan's games...playing his ipod.

Great Grandparents

We are so blessed to have grand parents who lives so close.  They live less than a mile away.  We love taking walks to their house. My kids look forward and are always asking when we can go over there.

They are so blessed to have such caring Great Grandparents!

Pumpkin Carving and Painting

Our kids love painting their pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, but this year we took daddies pumpkin and instead of painting it we carved it.  The kids loved coming up with ideas of what to carve.  They did not care much of taking the pumpkin guts out but they loved eating the cooked pumpkins seeds.

 

Here they are taking turns taking the guts out.

 

Aidan and KK helping in the carving process

 

 

 

Our finished products.  Can you tell who's each one belongs to?

 

I love this tradition,

Twins Update

It's crazy to watch kids grow right before your eyes.  I swear sometimes I put them down for their nap and when they wake up they are bigger. I just am so in love with them.  I could snuggle them all day.

 

Here they are eating oatmeal for the first time.

My babies love TV but if Davyn hears the TV he will crank his head all the way back to watch it.

 

They love being outside and going for walks.

They love their jumper and walker.  It allows them to stand up and see the world from a different angle.

I wish I could bottle them up and keep them at this age for a long time.

Gilcrease Pumpkin Patch

Its tradition that every year we go to the orchards and pick our pumpkins.  The kids look forward to it.  They love searching for their perfect pumpkin.
