HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Halloween this year was super fun!! It was a pretty laid back day and we enjoyed doing fun Halloween activities!! Poor Sky didn't have much excitement but my little kids had a blast!! Hunter is a Football Ref, Cooper is a Motor cross Rider, Dallis is Cinderella, and Lexis is the Ladybug. All 3 of my girls wore the ladybug costume, it was a bittersweet moment!! How I loved getting Lexis ready for the night, so many tender memories go along with that costume. It was sweet walk down memory lane! In fact, just the other day Dani asked me if I was ever going to take that costume off the back of the door of Paris' and Lexis' room......NOPE!! Not yet!













We went to a new pumpkin patch this year, we waited til the last day so I thought we were going to completely bomb out, actually, we scored!! They seemed to have lowered their prices on everything, so it was a pretty cheep night!! They rode the monster truck, the four wheelers(multiple times), fed the goats, did the vortex and we still bought pumpkins (we weren't going to buy pumpkins this year since we grew them in our garden) We also didn't carve them til today, it was a good way to keep the boys busy this morning!!
I tried something new this year! We've never done a haunted chocolate house and I bought one early this month thinking we would do it for family night, of course we ran out of time and so we did that this afternoon! I'm glad it never fit into our schedule until today!! Dallis had so much fun eating... I mean decorating the house, the boys were very patient and creative trying to work around Dallis! It makes me sad to think October is over! That means so many things, football is coming to an end, summer is completely gone, my kids have now been in school for 2 months which means they are getting older and smarter, I have to get serious about Christmas shopping but the saddest of all is, Skyler is 16 in 11 days......... Where is the time going? I hope I don't miss anything!!!

Obeying The Commandments?

Maybe there is a reason we should keep the Sabbath Day Holy? Cooper and his cousins were playing football on Sunday.....needless to say as Coop was pushed, he fell and hit his head on the bridge in our yard. He cut his head open pretty bad!! We should have taken him to the ER but we decided we could fix it ourselves!!SUPER GLUE!! Besides aunt Dani getting her finger stuck to Coops head and his hair being super glued together for weeks all turned out GREAT!!! I have to admit as much as I wanted to go to the ER (I was super scared) it really was a blessing that we did what we did!! Coop had way less pain and a way smaller scar!!
Coop's a pretty tough kid! Good thing he still scored :)

His hair that was stuck in the bridge

Battle Wound

Super Glue....
