Thanksgiving Indians

Awesome DI find.

Mean Mom

"Granny told Ella she couldn't call Granny again until she took a nap. She's been tattling on a mean mom all morning..."

Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins on the Sunday before Halloween. I was surprised by how clean the kids stayed. Ella was very careful and only scooped with a spoon. Bracken hurried so he could wash his hands immediately.

Jason's pumpkin.  He likes to take the time and carve the 'cool' ones  This one got all done and he was holding it washing it off and it slipped and broke in to pieces all over the floor.  This is the photo of it put back together again.

Mine :)

A gypsy with her old man.

Our cute kids and their pumpkins: the mustache and a kitty.

Boo.

Dunno what Jason looks like today. When he left the house he looked like an 8th grade Spanish teacher. He said he was gonna cook something up though.... maybe a picture will come later!

Happy Halloween!

It snowed

I don't even like to decorate for christmas, but Bracken was in no way going to let the neighbors out do us.  So we cut out batman bats

"I was worried I didn't get a picture of the spider before the rain. #itsnowed"

He isn't 'Stupid"

Told Bracken he couldn't buy a SpiderMan video game at a yard sale so he left this sign outside his room. He is learning to spell, but he did get in trouble.


He really likes combing his long hair.  Doesn't want us to cut it.

Super Hero Hair

Bracken to Dad, "If you eat all those your stomach will be as big as Mom's! "

Thanks buddy!

Maybe he's a genius?

Bracken read the paper today.
Beautiful Mind anyone?

Can't let the friend's mom's out do me

I now have the scariest house, Bracken said.

I hope he is satisfied cause I don't even like to decorate for Christmas.

Ella was confused...

when I told her it wasn't her!

It can't be, cause it's me!

Nine Years Already?!

Jason had class but to celebrate he surprised me and brought home this load.  I love him.  {The take out was wings from Wingers, my favorite!}  

I bought him a new wedding band cause his hasn't fit in a year and a half.

He knows how to get me to do anything!!

I told Bracken that his friend broke his leg. So he suggested we make him cookies... I thought it was a sweet gesture.

Bracken was ticked when he saw this...

Fun at the park in the morning

She says funny stuff

Ella today in the car: "Thats Funny!"
Me: "What's funny?"
Ella: "That guy has to go potty LOTS!!!"
{We were passing a truck pulling a trailer full of portable toilets}

Another funny, she was laying reading a book to herself...
"the A says ahhh the B says buh the C says meow..."

Helping Mom at the Post

I need a recliner for the bathroom...

"Ornery little fart. Finally found something she enjoys doing alone. These are such long days with no Bracken AND a runny nose.

All by herself...

She insisted I follow her, saying, "Mom a sa-pize, a sa-pize!!"  

'Tada! I made my bed!'"

Caution: Swimsuit Photos ;)

On the second day of our road trip to Cedar City we went to the pool....

First we ate breakfast.

Uncle Matt's Group Photo attempt... it's so hard to get everyone to cooperate!

They wouldn't let her keep her floaty but we got a picture before we took it away!

Hi Cheyne, so glad YOU were looking at the camera!


And my attempts at taking a group photo...

Cheyne in the Hot Pool

It was so so so fun.  I just might insist we do it again next year!
