Halloween



On Halloween our community had a Trunk-or-Treat down by the church and fire station. We all dressed up, it was fun. Did you notice our boys were the same thing this year as they were last? We are trying to follow the saying, "Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without".Ha Ha. When we got home we dumped out all the candy and sorted out the chocolate from the other stuff and put it in ziplock bags. I learned that on TV the other day. It helps so the chocolate doesn't take on the taste of the other candy. Anywho, Lilly loved sorting through it with us.
I remember when I was a little girl me and my friends used to go trick or treating for hours, all over the hills of Bountiful. We usually used pillow cases. When we would get home we would sort through it and put the treats in piles of like candy. When you think about it, Halloween is a funny holiday.
Tonight we had our neighbor over for dinner. For dessert I just made a basic brownie recipe and then when I took it out of the oven I crumbled mini candy bars on top. (I got the candy bars from our Halloween candy). When they melt you just use a spatula and spread.
I think I am a chocoholic. I have been eating a lot lately and it makes me break out and gives me a headache. I just love the taste! I might have to ween myself of it though.

Combined Party









The other day Wes's mom came down to spend a few days with us before she flew out to Denver. Wes's parents like having birthday parties for our kids. We had a joint party for all three of our kids because their birthdays are all in the fall. Grandpa and Grandma like to spoil them. They all got to open presents and they helped Grandma make a yum yum cake. It was fun.

Cute Fall Pics






Here are just a few pictures I have taken of the kids recently.

One on One



I believe as a mother that it is very important to have one on one time with each child. The more kids we have it becomes harder. The other day I was able to get away with Ethan for about like a half hour. We went to my friend Lindsay's house to see her pony mommy and baby. They were so cute!
Ever since we got our kitties our boys have been warming up to animals a lot more than they had before. If any of you have kids, I definitely recommend getting a pet. It teaches them so much!
