Izak had the cutest basketball team this year. They had so much fun! There team was so good and I know we are not supposed to keep score but they won every game! He loved it!

Ok so I had to post these...I thought they were funny! Doesn't Ike look so excited? We are so not big Halloween people at my house. We had fun this year though. We all went trick or treating and were home watching a movie by like 8:30. I know I know we are so exciting. I was exhausted from wearing that costume (by the way this was my costume to wear to the gym for cycling but there was no way I could sit on the bike in it) and the kids were so sick of walking. I love that people actually trick or treat. These neighborhoods were we live are so fun. Thay have parties and then everyone trick or treats and one neighbor makes homemade donuts and another plays a movie from a projector on the side of his house (Charlie Brown's The Great Pumpkin, which is like the best movie ever) Then there are several who put fire pits in their front yards and you can stop and hang out and get warm and roast a marshmellow. I am so lucky to live where I do. It is such an amazing area. We can take the four wheelers and go up to the hills above us anytime we want and you feel like you are in the mountains.

Next year they want to ride them trick or treating...nice try! (of course my kids would try to get out of the work part of getting the candy) Ha Ha! Happy Halloween!

Halloween Party!

Every Halloween my Mom has a fun Halloween Party and the kids dress up and instead of trick or treating the kids take a bag of candy to all of her neighbors. It is so fun! My kids look forward to her Hlloween Party every year.

CRAZY HAIR DAY

Just a Few Fun Pictures

Life seems like it just keeps getting busier and busier. I keep waiting for it to slow down and it just picks up more momentum. I would not want it any other way though. Jaxson is playing flag football and Ike is playing basketball and Jared has high school football every night of the week. Then Payton has dance and I try to find some time after working all day to get to the gym. I have decided that I am going to have to start working out in the morning before work. (which for those of you who know me you know I am not a morning person) It is like when I try to diet...it lasts about a day and I just have no will power. But with getting another year older (we are not going to talk about how old I am now) I realized that I am going to have to try a little harder and maybe eat a little better. We will see how long it lasts. Every Monday I have to start over again cause by Tuesday I have already cheated on my diet. Oh well here goes another week!

The First Day of School

So the first day of school is always so great and so sad at the same time. This year even Payton is in a preschool where she goes 4 days a week for three hours a day. Jaxson started 4th grade this year and Izak is in 2nd. I can not believe that my kids are getting so old. (or that I am getting that old...SAD!) I have the best kids in the world! I am so lucky! Hope that it is the best year ever...and wish me luck with keeping up with all the homework.

So you think you can dance

Since the boys were at school today and it was just us girls...we decided to go to Olive Garden for lunch to celebrate. While we were waiting for a table guess who walked in??? Brandon from so you think you can dance. I loved him and never missed watching the show. So you can image how stupid and star struck I acted. I am pretty sure that he was scared of me. I told him that I loved him and that his solo that he did in those little (LITTLE) black shorts I watched about 20 times. The rewind button was my best friend. He was so so nice. Yeah first day of school and yeah Olive Garden. It was the best first day of school ever!!!!
