Halloween 2008

We survived another Halloween. It's a lot more work with 3 kids! We were all exhausted by the end of the night. We got to share it with Aunt Sis and Papa. They came to visit and it was nice to have them here. Aiden was a Power Ranger, Ashlyne was Jo Jo the Clown and Arianne was Tinkerbell. It started out by going to Jeremy's work to show off the kids, and by the time we were done we had enough candy to stop there. We then went to the trunk or treat at church and they had a carnival. I think I went through 3 huge bags of candy in one hour! and then we came home and went quickly down our street and then went home to hang out with Aunt Sis and Papa til we went to bed.

Sleeping Beauty

I had a girls game night at my house on Friday and my husband took the kids out and then when they got home he kept them in Aiden's room and watched movies with them so I could have fun with my friends! Well when they were getting ready to leave one of my friends pointed out the little Sleeping Beauty in the hallway hanging out of Aiden's doorway.
Oh and Jeremy, I love you so much, thanks for letting me have game night at our house and watching the kids while I played. You are the Best!

Here she goes

So Arianne Has finally figured out how to get around. She gets up on her hands and tippy toes, with her stomach completely off the ground. And then pushes herself backwards with her arms. And just 2 days ago she figured out how to get on her knees too. I cannot believe at 6 months she is doing all this. Man are we in for it!

First Day of School 2008

I cannot believe I am old enough to have a first grader. He is so Mr. Independent! I drove him to school and walked him to his classroom, he sat down and said "Bye Mom." I couldn't believe it. So I hung around only cause I'm nosey and wanted to know what he was going to do in first grade and then I decided it was time to let go and let him be a big boy! Then I went and took care of a couple things and we started walking to the car and then Ashlyne had a fit. She kept screaming, "I want my Aiden!" All day long she kept asking if it was time to pick him up yet cause she's only used to him being away for 3 hours. 6 hours is great though, I got to be with just my girls for 6 hours and I get to that every day! When I went to pick him up I asked him what he'd done all day and he said he couldn't remember! What a good first day I guess! But he did tell me that he get so eat in the cafeteria and have 2 recess'. He is enjoying himself and loving the class and the Teacher!

Walnut Grove Ward Campout

So Friday night we went on the ward camp out. It was so much fun, I don't understand why more wards don't do this. The only down side is that we weren't there for more then one night. It was a lot of fun. We were right on Yale lake which I guess is part of Lewis River. We were walking distance from the water. On Saturday Jeremy took the kids down to the playground/swimming area and I guess Ashlyne was losing her balance in the water and kept slipping backwards and just as she went under Jeremy grabbed her out. Way to go Super Dad. This is why I completely trust him with my kids, he has Super reflexes and he is their Dad after all! :) So after lots of fun we came home and my back went out Saturday night and so I didn't make to church so if any of the people in charge in our ward our reading this: Please consider doing it longer next year!!!! Anyway, it was a blast and I can't wait to do it again next year!

Snakes!

So we finally got around to doing something with are yard, not finished yet cause when you live on a quarter of an acre it can take awhile. Anyway, as Jeremy was doing his manly chainsaw thing I was moving logs from a bush we cut down earlier and some cinder blocks that had been sitting around awhile when I came across 2 garter snakes. Jeremy doesn't mind picking them up so he did and then he let each of the kids hold it. Ewww, but they didn't mind. I can't believe Ashlyne did it, I would have never at her age, well I still will never!!
