Fall Leaves

Having some fun in our Fall Leaves!!
Justice and Tana loved jumping, rolling and being buried in the leaves. What you don't see is they attacked me after taking these pics. We are still picking leaves out of our hair.

Halloween Parties

Here are some fun pics of our Halloween Parties this week. It has been crazy. And it's not over yet. Sierra is in a thrown together costume (not the cute one we bought for her), she is Disco Barbie, Justice is Blue Power Ranger, and Montana is Super Girl. They looked so cute! I will post more pics as the parties continue!!

Texting

Last night we were sitting down for dinner, we were just getting ready to say the prayer. Montana was playing with a little calculator that she pretends is her cell phone. We started to decide who would say the prayer- Montana says- "Dad, can you text a prayer to God?" I had to laugh at that. Sierra is always texting and never talking to her friends- I guess that was a logical conclusion. What a world we live in.

Halloween and Snow

We were spending a quiet night at home watching movies, when Justice starts hollering "IT'S SNOWING". We knew it was coming, but it still was a shock to see it actually coming down in such a fierce storm. It didn't stick on the streets, but it covered the lawn. So I guess that Halloween is going to be cold- once again. The kids are super excited about dressing up and parties and candy. We have always loved Halloween. The kids have their costumes and can't wait to wear them. We have a primary activity this week where they get to wear their costumes, my preschool classes have parties this week, and then next week the real fun starts. I think I enjoy it more than they do. Montana is trying to enjoy the scary stuff more this year. She feels a little left out when Sierra goes to the haunted houses and watches the more grown up shows. But, she still is our easily frightened one, who shrieks at everything even remotely scary. We have tried to tell her that she doesn't have to like that scary stuff, but she doesn't want to hear that. What a cutie.

I asked to cut my hours back at KJZZ (my night job) to part-time. So it looks like that will happen, but I am still waiting for final approval. It will be nice to spend more time at home, and hopefully one or two more nights of sleep won't hurt either. We will see.

What's Up?

We have been busy doing a whole lot of nothing this weekend. Tana had a sleepover last night with her best friends Halley. Her first successful sleepover that wasn't at grama's. Yeah! She also went to a birthday party today and had tons of fun. Justice lost another tooth today, and is anxiously awaiting the tooth fairy! Hopefully she will make an apprearance tonight. She is very forgetful around her. Sierra has been hanging around the house- very strange-but we are happy to have her. She is usually such a social butterfly that we can go a whole week without really spending anytime whatsoever with her. The little ones absolutely love having her around to bug. They are so cute together. We have had a great weekend just hanging out together- the whole family!

Today I went to Wendover with my mom and my grama. Grama had a fall back in the summer and has been recovering from a broken hip and arm ever since. Today was her first trip out of town. It was our only way to bribe her to go somewhere. She could never pass up a gambling opportunity!! We left early and got there in time for lunch. Then we gambled for a couple hours and came home. We definately were not ready to leave, but, we wanted to be home in time for dinner and such. We will be happy to go back at any time. We didn't win any- but we didn't loose either- so it was a good time.

Eric has been busy beading some of his indian crafts. He is amazing. These beads are so tiny. The project he is working on will have thousands of beads when it is done. It looks awesome. It is a great stress relief for him- well a diversion at least.

We are watching a few movies tonight: Kicking and Screaming, Evan Almighty, and just relaxing with the fam. Tommorrow we are having a late lunch at moms. We usually go for dinner on Sundays but, I am training to do live events at work and I have to go in early on Sundays now. So we are trying to adjust. We will see if this will work out. Anyhoo- that is our update of what's up for the week. We will check back in soon.
