A Week of Halloween

This year we had so many Halloween Party.It was so much fun we Had a court party on Monday night, Wed night we had the spook feast, ward trunk or treat. Thursday morning we went Kai had his Class party that I am sad to say I didn't make it:( Friday Kai had a school parade and then Sat we went to Fort Douglas for there Halloween Party. Halloween that night we had the moms over for dinner and trick or treat! Thanks Mom for coming up on Friday to see Kai in the parade, and driving 45 min at 7:30 a.m. Thanks to My Dad, Matt, Ann, Lily, Booty, and Steve for driving up to see the my kids.

Trunk or Treat

My mother-in-law had a trunk or treat birthday party for Cam's Grandma this year it was so fun. The kids loved it and it was so nice to see the family it has been so long:) Happy Halloween!

What to Do

The last few weeks Makinley has decided she doesn't want to be in her diaper any more! She started to take it off in the day. At night she was only taking off her diaper when she didn't have on a onsie. Now she takes off the onsie and her diaper at 2:00 in the morning.




We decide to potty train her and she has been doing really well:) On Sunday we had her in her cute new Tinkerbell underwear and she was playing with Kyler and all of the sudden she ran into the bathroom yelling potty, potty. I ran in after her put on the potty and she went pee all by her self we had a little piddle on the floor because I didn't make in time. Really thought that is way more then I expected:)

Zoo Days

Last week was Kylers field trip to the Zoo. I went with his class, we walked there from his class. I was with 6 boys and two other moms. Holy crazy! It was sooo fun I loved to see Kai with all his friend at school he was such a good listener and they had so much fun.

Las Vegas

Our friends Brooks and Laura got a job offer in Las Vegas, they invited us down there with them to look at close by areas to see if it is somewhere they would like to live.


This was our first vacation without our children and the first sleep over Makinley has had. I was way better then I thought I didn't sleep at all the night before but only cried a little bit when we left:)


Laura and I thought this guy was so cool we had to get our picture with him he was sprayed painted in bronze and at first we didn't know if he was real or fake.


We are at the Belagio garden which I think are so beautiful.

We had such a fun weekend and I loved the suburbs out side of Vegas I thought it was very clean and I could totally live there. Congrats Brooks for all your hard work, and thank you so much for letting us tag along on the start of your families new adventure:)

Liberty Park

The Cabin

We have been trying to make it up to Cam's family cabin for a few weeks but life seems to be way to busy for us to make it up there. This weekend with it being Conference it worked out great:) To add the leaves are so beautiful right now and the animals are still out like crazy.




This Moose was standing right out side the cabin the kids loved to see him run by.



After we got up there we went on a little walk, you can't tell me this is not pretty.




And of course all good thing must come to an end, we woke up to a huge snow storm at about 7 am so we packed up and left before we got snowed in. Ha Ha Ha
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Jamie for this beautiful place so that we can enjoy this wonderful experience with our family:)

Spoild

Kyler shooting off his rocket!
One of the three bounce houses

We moved up to the U family housing last summer. When Cam and I came up to look at the apt. before we moved in I went to the car by my self and cried.I didn't want Cam to know because I was trying to be supportive and do what need to get done so Cam could finish school asap! Since we have moved up here I have learned to NEVER judge a book by its cover. All though my apt. has not been up graded since 1970 and I have no dishwasher, one bathroom that is smaller then most guess bath, and my washer and dryer are separated by a room. (the dry is also in Makinley's room) Cam and I agree that this is the funnest place we have ever lived. In the last year we have had: multiple movies,cheep lagoon tickets,really cheep raging water ticket, BBQ, and parties with bounce houses and lots of activities for kids. ALL for free with free food. Sat the U had a back to school bash when I realized that never in my life well we ever live somewhere that does so many things for us, nor will we ever meet such amazing fun giving friend like the ones we have gotten to know up here! I am so glad we have had the oppertunity to live here!

Like Father Like Son

Just Camerons shoes!
Now that Kyler has started school we have some funny conversations, the other day we were in the car and Kai ask mom what does hola mean. I say it means hello in Spanish like "hola senorita". Kai asks what does that mean? "It means hello cute girl." Kai says "but I'm not a girl!" "No Kai your a cool boy." Kyler then informs me he is only kind of a cool boy because he only has two cool shoes. I ask him how many shoes he needs? He tells me,"At least 3 white pair, 5 black pair, 1-2 more black and white pair, and maybe one brown pair of shoes." As he says all of this I start laughing and realize that he has described his dad's shoe closet and I began to see that there are things that are born with in our children without us ever pushing them on them:) Ha Ha I had no idea he was paying that close atintion!

Oh No What to Say

Today I woke up Kyler and got him in the shower to get ready for school. As he is getting undressed and still half asleep he turns to me and says "So mom how are you and Dad?" I tell him good and ask him what he means? He says "well I know you want dad's money?" I just reply oh yeah. Kai then says "Well you know mom you can always get a job!" I tell Kyler that I have a job I take care of him and if I didn't stay home with him he would have to go to day care and be with a stranger all day. He then replies with well I don't think it is fare that you stay home with us and dad has to go to work and you get all the money. I just tell him that life isn't always fare. Luckly Cam agrees that life isn't always fare. (For Me)

Second Day of School

Kyler started school on Sept.1, he loved it so much! He was so big and to my surprise so was I. I had a little freak out the night before. I cried like a baby, but when the big day came I was just happy for him:) The next day was another story! Because we live so far away from the elementary they have a bus that takes the kids to school. I knew it wouldn't be long before Kai wanted to ride it since the first day he asked if he could. After the first day Kai said he was going to ride the bus the next day with all his friends, but that night when we were getting ready for bed he asked if I would take him. I was so glad and said I would take him as long as he wanted me to. When Cam got home he was talking to Kai about the bus and Kai told Cam that I was taking him. Cam who thought he was helping his son grow up told Kai that HE was riding the bus to school. Kyler who wants to be just like dad said he wanted to ride the bus too:( The next morning Kai checked with Dad that he was still riding the bus to school, so then Kai was too. I walked Kai to the bus stop gave him a hug.(we can't give mom a kiss in front of people) Walked inside called my sister Chelsea and cried for like 15min:) Kyler loves the bus and I am so happy that he never saw my break down:)

Last week the U had a star gazing night so we had Ambree come sleep over:) We had so much fun. The U had smores that the kids only ate two bits of. We played uno, and right as we were getting to leave someone brought his telescope up and the kids got to see Jupiter and four of Jupiters moon. They loved it some much they didn't want to go home, but at 11:00 I decided we were done.
