Halloween

The boys decided to be clone troopers and Sienna wanted to be a cowgirl. I have been trying to convince the boys to be cowboys for years with no success. Sienna came up with it on her own and she looked adorable. Giffords came to the trunk or treat with us. The boys melted some Halloween candy in the microwave and baked some in the oven to "experiment" with it. It basically turned into a gross glob, but they had fun!

Because I love watching soccer...

The blog wouldn't be complete without more soccer pictures. I love watching the boys play. A big thanks to their fan club who came out last week. It was a party!

The beginning of the secret room

Jason is building a secret room in our house. I can't give anymore details because it might ruin the secret...

Planting trees

Jason planted our flowering pears and enjoyed every minute of using our friends tractor! I am sure that digging the holes was his favorite part! The holes were so big all three of the kids fit in them. The boys enjoyed playing in the dirt!

millions of peaches...

Well not exactly a million, but 8 bushels. We canned 7 bushels and ended up with 80 quarts. They are delicious. The boys were a big help and we were able to do all of them in one day. We also canned all of them on the camp stove outside! It was wonderful to spray everything clean wit the hose!! We are always canning that way from now on!

Sienna loves baby Sam!

Sienna can not get enough of Sam. She loves holding him and asks when he's going to come over all the time.

Cinnamon Bread

Sienna and I had a ton of fun making cinnamon bread together. It was delicious!!

Hiking Haight's Creek

We took Nana and Pap Dave on a hike/bike ride and really enjoyed the time together.

Train museum

There is a really neat train museum by our house. The owner loves trains and has built an entire rail system in his yard. There are tunnels, RR crossings, a little playground, a train repair building and other neat features. It is a fun place.

Sienna loves her baby!!

Making Jam

The boys helped me make strawberry jam this year. It is so much easier with help!

DM-2 static test largest solid rocket on the planet

We went to ATK in Brigham city for a rocket launch in August. It was interesting because they had refrigerated the rocket to see the impact of the temperature on the launch. They had a "rocket garden" with the different kinds of rockets in it. The boys (especially Jason) loved it.

Kennin's first day of Kindergarten

It's hard to believe that Kennin is in Kindergarten. He is getting so big. He LOVES school and I miss having my little tenderheart at home.

Soccer season has begun!!!

Today the boys had there first soccer games. You know being a Mom just gets more and more fun. They were sooo cute kicking and running. After they got their uniforms Kennin said Mom “We are your favorite colors.”

Bridger's First Day of School

Bridger is in 2nd grade and soooo excited. He and Kennin are attending a brand new school that was built around a space theme. It is awesome. They have replica's of the planets in the media center and an awesome window with the galaxy pictures on it. Bridger's classroom is in the Sombrero galaxy. I can't believe he is 7. Sniff...he is getting so big.

Winking

Jason frequently winks at the kids. Here is there effort to wink back.

Alien Sightings!

The boys made Aliens our of cardboard. Then they went over to the neighbors and rang the doorbell disguised as Aliens. I imagine it was a little creepy for everyone involved.

Lagoon

Against my better judgment I consented to take the kids to Lagoon if Jason came with me. We decided to go for our family b-day party. Every summer Jason & I celebrate our Anniversary by ourselves, but we also have a b-day party with our kids because that's the day our family was born. This year Bridger said "Hey Dad our family is older than me!!" We ended up having a blast at Lagoon. My stomach wasn't very strong, but the kids LOVED it. No kiddie rides for our boys they rode the roller coasters and many other adult rides. Sienna's favorite part was waving to Jason as we went past. It was sooo fun!

Anderson Family Reunion in Midway

We had so much fun in Midway with the Andersons. We loved floating the canal, biking, catching crawdads, playing minute to win it games, going to the skate park, and most of all hanging out with family.

Jones Family Reunion

We had so much fun in MT at Mom & Dad's. We loved feeding the ducks, making bows, playing badmitton, making bird houses, singing, and most of all seeing family.
