Happy Birthday Sharon!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON

Our friend and neighbor celebrated her birthday on Saturday. We went on a double date to dinner to celebrate. Thanks for sharing that brownie. Yum Yum!! Today we continued the celebration by eating the most amazing ice cream pie I have ever seen or heard of. I WILL post a picture soon! Sharon, thanks for being a great friend!! Hope you made memories this year.

The Three Witches

So all three kids wanted to be witches this year. We kept telling Tanner he was a wizard; but he insisted he was a witch too. Oh well, whatever makes them happy!!

Tag! You're It

So this is my first Tag! experience. I really didn't even know what that meant until I was tagged and took the effort to look at other people's tags. So my hometown friend, Jeri, tagged me. She, like my sister, were probably tired of visiting my blog and seeing no change. So here is my fourth picture in my fourth folder:



What's funny about this picture is that I rarely wear an apron because I rarely cook. (Though I am really trying to have a better attitude about that!) Don't let the apron fool you, NO, I was not cooking here either, we were dying Easter Eggs. I love holidays, especially the ones where you go all out and get to do fun stuff, like dying Easter Eggs. I do have Halloween pictures to post; but that will have to be another day. Thanks, Jeri, for letting me experience another first!! You were always good for that; helping me burst out of my bubble!
I tag Jessica, Sarah, Sawyer, and Katie (Sorry, Katie's is by invitation only :( So what is your fourth picture in your fourth folder!!

Scarecrow Festival

We visited Thanksgiving Point this weekend. We had a blast at their Scarecrow Festival. The kids had fun going through the Haunted House, bouncing on those blow-up things (they had 7 or 8), and 'fishing'. I really wanted to go rock climbing; maybe when the tots are older they will want to wait in line for that one. Jonathan really wanted to ride the mini-train; maybe when Jonnie gets grandkids the little ones will want to wait in line with their grandpa - our kids weren't really interested!! Happy Halloween!

Another Sawyer That Inspires

Grateful for the Ward Trunk O Treat!!

First Snow

Our first snow of the season was yesterday. The kids begged to go play in the snow as soon as they woke up. That, of course, did not happen because we have 9 am church and dad is gone to meetings so mom is the sole person getting three kids ready and mom HAS to be to church on time because she leads the hymns in sacrament meeting - a calling that would notice a late-comer!! SO - I promised them that after church we would play in the snow. But after church I lead choir practice for 45 minutes so we did not leave the building til 1 pm. When we walked outside the snow had melted and boy did I have some sad kids. By the time we made it up the street, however, to our surprise (I don't know why we are surprised anymore, we live in our own little country with completely different weather up here in our neighborhood) we STILL had snow!! YIPPEE!! And so, yes, after a quick lunch, we took off to the outdoors and made snow angels, threw snowballs, and ended up sledding with the neighbors in their awesome-perfect-for-sledding backyard. And believe it or not I did not take one picture. I have to remember that I am a blogger now and pictures are cute additions; I'll try and do better. Anyway, we did have a great day - even if I don't have visual proof. The kids were freezing afterward and took looooooong bubble baths and enjoyed hot chocolate. They begged for snow cream, but I really could not deliver on that one. Two or three inches of snow ain't gonna cut it for snow cream. O well, can't have all the fun in one day, gotta spread it out a little, gotta have something to look forward to.
