The beard.....

Josh grew out his beard for a few weeks for Halloween.... He wanted the full hockey handlebar mustache.... He pulls it off all too well!! but it drives him crazy so it is no longer there

THIS IS.........

HALLOWEEN!!!!! Trick-or-treating in the rain was not that fun.... but once it cleared up the storm trooper and the princess and the frog had a great time!

Spooktacular.....

Paying $20 to let my kids go on a bounce house and shoot a hockey puck....not that great.... getting to see how happy Ivy was to dance and perform... PRICELESS!!!!

Pack meeting.....

Halloween party..... and a picture opportunity!

Fun at the......

Fire station for their Halloween party.... Kadin tied in the donut eating contest!

The first.......

snowfall of the season.... and my kids had to be right in the middle of it ... BBUURRRRR!!!!

Preschool fieldtrip.....

to the pumpkin patch ended early due to the freezing cold! Oh Mother nature and her menapause like fall weather here in Utah!

YIKES......

is Christmas really only 2 months away!?!?! That ain't right! Should I decorate now!?!?

Pink in the rink......

No pink ice this year... but the net posts were pink and they won so that made up for it!!

Bring on.....

the hockey season!!!!! I can do without the "ice girls" but let the games begin!!!

This boy......

is excited for scouts! and isn't he just so handsome in his uniform!

Another note to self......

grocery shopping with just 1 child is MUCH MUCH easier then with the whole clan!!!! and also this is my 100th post!!! GO ME!!! HOORAY!!!!

I did my part....

to help the environment! That sprite bottle has sat there for weeks left by some construction workers and today I picked it up and threw it away! Ok I know its nothing but it's a start!!!

Halloween.....

my favorite time of year!

A homecoming......

of one of my cousins and a cute picture with Great grandpa!

It's not easy.....

trying to get 10 kids to look at you at the same time..... but they sure are a bunch of cute cousins!

Off to the.....

pumpkin patch to find some pumpkins!!!! Kadin was on a hunt for the biggest one, Ivy a square one and Kohen wanted to take them all home!

Fall recess.....

too bad for my kids they got to enjoy the first part of it at the dentist.... lucky for me they LOVE the dentist and to top it off didn't have any cavities!!!!

My favorite......

time of the year has begun!!! I actually had to turn my heater on today and got to wear my hoodie! Bring on the fall weather! I LOVE IT!

Is it just me.......

or does that cloud look just like a witches hat..... pretty fitting for the month of October! and maybe even a little SPOOKY!!!

Friends.....

are so much fun.... especially when they pretend the porch is a stage and put on a show!

The three.....

pimos..... thats spanish for cousin (or so I am told)..... and they sure are cute!!!! and don't forget a happy 10-10-10 to ALL!

Let.......

the hockey season begin!!!! It's going to get a whole lot more interesting now that he's moved to the squirt level!

1 year.....

later..... a lot of hard work (thanks to my husband).... a lot more lived in (thanks to my kids).... and it's almost a home!!!!

A walking we will go....

a walking we will go..... hi ho the dairy-o.... a walking we will go!!!

A final goodbye....

to Josh's Grandma Douglass.... who lived 96 great years.... and a chance to see the whole family

"Know what you want to do.....

hold the thought firmly, and do everyday what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer to your goal!"

I'm a beautician.....

not a magician... and oh how I love what I do!!!!

Annual canyon breakfast.....

full of swinging... delicious food..... more swinging..... and playing around in the dirt.... It was a down right family full fabulous fall day!!!!!

Yet another.....

reason I love my handy husband!!..... a cool new sandbox and the start of a concrete walkway!

Cheap date....

going for a hike... eating tacos.... saw an "eclipse" with a werewolf or 2 .... not to mention the vampires.... all for under $20!!!!
