Oh My Garsh!


Grandma gave Colin a pen to draw with during sacrament meeting.
This is what he did with it.
(Click on pic. for a better look.)
I think he's been watching too much Popeye!

Happy 5th Birthday!!








Today was the boys' birthday. I can't believe they are 5.
I tried to tell them I wasn't going to let them turn 5 but they didn't believe me.

Patrick was the first boy up this morning. He came into the kitchen and said,
"So, where is my present?"
We were so mean and wouldn't give them their present until after preschool.
They were so excited to get "big boy" bikes.
Grandma & Grandpa got them the helmets.
It didn't take them long to ride all by themselves!
(They have been riding Skuuts for the past 2 years. I highly recommend them. Without them I don't think the boys would be riding so well so fast.)
We are so lucky to have such sweet little guys in our family!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS!!!!

So Much To Blog, So Little Time!

The super heroes on their way to their costume party at preschool
Samantha at the costume parade at her school.


Samantha loves to throw in the ball.
She had a great season.
As a goalie she blocked the ball twice and almost made a goal!

Samantha's team won almost every game!
Great job


Samantha (a robot),Patrick (Superman), & Colin (Batman)
at Trunk-or-Treat.
We made root beer

there was also a cotton candy machine.


Oops, I forgot to turn this one.
I liked the sign on the back of this M&M.
His brothers had them also.


The Jack-o-lantern Dale and the kids carved.
Scary!!

The boys relaxing at Grandma Ruth's
after a big night of candy gathering.
(This only lasted about 3 seconds)

You can tell by Patrick's face that he had a great Halloween!


Samantha was the top cookie dough salesperson at her school.
Here is all the awesome prizes she earned including her TWO
$50 Walmart gift cards.
She was able to buy some cool stuff.
I made her buy some Christmas gifts and her own winter boots
she was happy to get a new Lego set and her own fish bowl & fish.


Which is the real Samantha???
(Hint: one of them is really Colin in a mullet wig)


Princess Patrick didn't want to be left out of the dress-up fun.

Amanda took my Mom & I too see the Phantom of the Opera for our birthdays.
It was a fun day. Dale & my Dad took the kids to Cabela's.
On the way down to Mesa I got to sit by Colin & look at these too cute legs.


The boys had their birthday party at the park this year.
The weather was perfect.

Colin blowing out his 5 candles.

Colin showing off his super yummy birthday cake.
They said they wanted a pumpkin cake so I made
Grandma Connie's Pumpkin Bars.
They were a big hit!


They got lots of cool gifts.
Thanks everyone.
