Noelles post

This post is for my neice Noelle. I haven't posted in along time. She keeps bugging me to update it. So here it is. I LOVE YOU NOELLE!!!!

Our Trip to St. George

We had a blast in St. George. It was a much needed break. The kids had a blast at the little splash park.
I love how Ellie is helping him rinse the red dirt off. She is like another little mom to him.

He hates laying in water, but he did it for me because I asked him too. What a sweet boy!

I love her face in this pic. She was so surprised.

On our walk around my dads house!

I was camera happy one night. I took pics of everyone making funny faces. I didn't post the one of me because it was really really ugly.

Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I'm really late getting these posted, but better late than never. This Halloween was a lot different than years past. We have always been in a ward where they do a Trunk-or-Treat. Now that we are living with my dad things have changed. His ward does the traditional door to door style. It was a lot of fun. I don't know which way I like better. They both have pros and cons.

Door to door-

pro: They have to work for their candy.

con: I have to work for their candy.

Trunk or Treat-

pro: They get lots of candy quick and they show off their costumes to most everyone.

con: Not everyone goes to the trunk or treat so some neighbors get left out and they get lots of candy quick.

Here a few pics from the day. We had a great time!

We had fun carving pumpkins. Trevor wouldn't get his hands dirty so he just watched. I made the vomit pumpkin, Brian made the Y one and the other two Ellie designed!
We went later that day to my sister Maggies house. The kids just played and had a good time. Aren't they all so cute?!!

Ellie as Tinkerbell

Trevor as Thomas the Tank Engine. I think it is an ugly costume, but that's all he wanted to be. Oh well, at least Ellie let me help with her costume.

Tonz-o-candy

We had such a crazy night full of excitment that when I went to check on Trev to put him to bed, he was already asleep on the floor holding some chocolate. So cute!

We were all exhausted. What a fun day.

Reflections contest

Ellie has been really excited about entering into "Reflections" at school. We entered in 4 different areas. She is multi-talented. This years theme is "Beauty is". She was excited to do all the projects. I hope she gets a prize for one of them.

Her poem (Literature)Visual Arts- She painted a caterpillar (obviously). She loved all the beautiful colors.

Photography. She took this all by herself. She did the set up and everything. I wasn't even there. She is amazing! She called it "Flower Eyes". cute huh?

Her 4th entry was Musical. She practiced the guitar really hard. I don't think it fits under the Reflection guide lines very well, but we thought we'd try. Isn't she cute though?

I would like to thank Janet for all her help and kind words to Ellie in this process. We had a blast!!!

Family Pics

Here are our recent family pictures. Don't be surprised when you see the same picture on our Christmas card. Haha.
We really look like we love each other...
we do!

I have the sweetest kids ever! I love my family so much. I am so blessed to have them in my life.

Nice Car, but it must go...Daddy wants the money....and a truck!

My Summer Scrapbook Pages

I just started digital srapbooking this summer. I suck at it, but it's really fun.

Wheeler Farm

Wheeler Farm is so much fun for kids and it's great for parents too because it's FREE. Trevor and I went one day while Ellie was at school. Grandma and Grandpa came with little Logan. It was fun to let the boys play in big tree and to see all the smelly animals.
Me and Trevor hanging in a tree.

The ducks would eat right out of your hand. It was kind of creepy. Trevor liked them.

Stinky Pigs.

He is so handsome. I love this pic.

Ellie's first day of School

Ellie was really excited to start school. She has been ready to make new friends.
