The Other Night

On Wednesday, the 4th, we had an action packed night.  It all started when I went downstairs after my shower to get changed and I smelled gas. So after we talked to a neighborhood friend about it, he said to call the Fire Department. We bathed and got the boys ready for bed and call the Fire Department to make sure everything was okay.  Lights blazing later (so embarrassing!) the Fire Department found that our pilot light was turned off on our water heater and there was gas in the basement escaping.  So they called Questar to come to our house to light the pilot light before we could get back into the house.  So an hour and half after we first called and left the house, we were finally able to get back into the house and get the boys to bed (after bedtime). Oh what fun we have with boys!

Halloween

This year for Halloween, Gavin was Lightning McQueen, Greyson was a Dragon/Dinosaur and Garett was a Monkey. 

On Thursday the 29th, Greyson wore his costume to preschool.

On Friday the 30th, Gavin had his Halloween Parade, and then that night our ward had a Trunk-Or-Treat that the boys got to dress up for.

And on Saturday, of course it was Halloween. We had Mike's mom down for dinner and after dinner I sent the boys out with dad and grandma to go Trick-or-Treating. They had so much fun and stayed out until 9! (Garett came home at 7:45, he was tired)

Halloween 2015 was a success!

2015 Family Pictures

In August we got family pictures done at a Studio in Saratoga Springs. We weren't very impressed, so it will probably be the first and the last time we go there, but at least we got some family pictures done.

Carving Pumpkins

This year, since the pumpkins didn't last from the pumpkin patch, we went to Smiths and got some huge pumpkins and carved them on Sunday. The boys had so much fun picking their pumpkins, and helping gut them out, picking out their jack-o-lantern design and playing with the lights that go in the pumpkins.

And I am most excited about the pumpkin seeds!

Crazy Hair Day

Last week at Gavin's school, it was Red Ribbon Week, and on Wednesday, they did Crazy Hair Day. So naturally he had to have Mike color his hair to honor the day!

Pumpkin Patch Preschool Field Trip

This month's Preschool Field Trip for Greyson was to the Pumpkin Patch. I took Garett this year, and they loved it. They climbed up haystacks, went through corn mazes, looked at farm animals and got to pick pumpkins.

Fun Day Outside

Last weekend it was such a nice day, that after we ran our errands, the boys wanted to ride the Jeep. We haven't let them play with the Jeep for a while, so we deicded to get it out for them. They had a lot of fun and Garett had his first ride on it.

Halloween 2015 (So Far)

We have the boys costumes for Halloween this year, and they are all really excited. They ask all the time if they can wear them. We got Pumpkins from the Pumpkin Patch that Greyson went to for his Preschool Field Trip, but they weren't very good ones and have already gone bad, so we will have to go this weekend and pick some more.  Gavin is going to be Lightning McQueen, Greyson will be a Dinosaur/Dragon and Garett is going as a Monkey!

We had a make a countdown chain to Halloween because the boys have been so anxious for it to get here. Don't worry, it has already been torn down and destroyed, so now we are counting down days by the calendar.

FHE Prayer Pretzels

The boys have been struggling with staying reverent during prayers, so we had a FHE on Prayers and how we need to act when praying. We made these Pretzels and called them Prayer Pretzels. I was super excited they turned out because when I have tried in the past to make bread, it hasn't worked out, and this time it did! They tasted amazing and the boys loved the lesson and have been doing better.

Bed Head

We just wake up like this! (Until we get haircuts!)
