It's starting.....

to look and feel a lot like winter! And if you ask Ivy that means that Santa is coming!

I'm grateful #9 to live in a great state where the 4 seasons change beautifully!

Get well soon......

Miss Ivy.... she has been feeling a little under the weather.... so no preschool and a trip to the doctor... and no strep!

I'm grateful # 8 for doctors that are able to know what is wrong with my kids when they are sick

Lazy.......

sunday full of KFC and Ivy saying something I never planned on hearing when I would dream of having a family "Mom, Dad is licking the table!"

I'm grateful #7 for the little things my family does that make me laugh

Go Kadin go!.......

Go Kadin GO! ....... first hockey game of the season and it was a great one they tied 2-2! Not too bad for their first game playing full ice and full penalties!!

I'm grateful #6 that my son plays a sport I enjoy watching :)

Yes.....

That is a goat eating our trees....... gotta love living in farming....town

I'm grateful #5 to live in such a beautiful area!

Evacuation....

drill at Kadins school which meant he got out 30 minutes early! He was excited!

I'm grateful #4 for a sweet, helpful, funny, smart almost 9 year old son

Dinner at......

Applebees with my parents.


I'm grateful #3 for parents that live so close and the great relationship they have with my kids!

Oh that......

2 year old of mine! He is just a tad bit OCD....and this is just one of the many ways I know... yes he put his shoes that way on his own, my other kids just leave them where ever they land.


I'm grateful #2 for my cute 2 year old boy that ALWAYS keeps me on my toes!

It's days........

like this when they all get along that remind me how great it is to be a mom to these 3 kids


I'm grateful for #1 My amazing kids!!

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!
