Visiting teaching goodies!!

Well the fact that I am married to a man who thinks that Halloween is like the best holiday ever... I have always tried my talents making things for my sisters in my wards for holiday times... Here is my newest creation I am so excited to get better at it I was hoping to make the cookies more decorative, but of course with three kids I just had to get them frosted fast.. LOL here they are what do you think? There are three suckers in this mix along with the cookies Yummo!!!

Celebrating James' Birthday!!

So since James is not here to celebrate the day with us. We decided to do what he loves and dedicate it to my man and his day...So honey I hope we made you proud. I cut the top, and then let the kiddo's go at it getting the gooey brains out of the pumpkin muahaha... Then when that was done I had the task of carving a two sided pumpkin one side is traditional and the other well not so much,,, Darth Vader I hope I can pull it off I did do a drawing first then I used that to kind of cut around it... So Happy Birthday baby hope you love our pumpkin this year its soooo spooky... So what do you think? Did I do a good job on the starwars /funny theme... It's cute...and the #1 thing is the kids love it. we miss our pumpkin carver... Love you baby

Just a thought!!

Have you ever been doing the dishes, and started by making sure that your youngest is not around to be heard or seen? Then rush to get them done quickly to find out that they can hear you unloading it no matter where they are in the house, and still manage to rush to help you by grabbing the glass dishes first. Errr it drives me crazy!!! I have tried over the years with all of them to re-direct their help with giving them the plastic dishes; only to find that they still go for the glass ones.. Ha I have learned to try and get all the glass out first. Still sometimes just not quick enough!!!

Playgroup Halloween Party!!

Ok so I have a predicament with Savannah and her first Halloween Party!! I had to drop Savannah off for the first 45minutes of the party only because I had an appointment during the time, but I did bring my camera for when I did get there praying that I did not miss a whole lot. I finally arrive and they were all in back running around having a ball. I started to take pictures of my little fairy princess, and low and behold the silly blond that I am forgot to put back the memory card that was still loaded into my computer at home. So here is Savannah in her costume but not at the party. I know she had lots of fun. Thanks Jana for having it at your house, and for letting Savannah come play. (she was talking to daddy when I took this picture isn't she cute!)

Eagle Dollar!!

Katelynn came home today with an "Eagle Dollar", which is an award system at her school for doing good works. She and her friend returned some jackets to the office that were left in the girls bathroom. If she earns enough she gets to watch a movie with others. Good Job Kiddo!!!

How does your garden grow!

so for the last few months we have been getting tomatoes and jalapenos by the tons. I keep telling my self that eventually I will make some salsa and send it to James. Well I thought that time was over till tonight when playing in the back with the kids I looked over and it was amazing. Tomatoes and more tomatoes, and then more Jalapenos wow ok let's get to picking I say grab a bowl. As I am picking these delicious looking tomatoes Iam realizing that in a day or so I will have probably 20more to pick because there were tons of green tomatoes. Holy smokes maybe I should really learn how to can LOL.. Aren't they pretty though.

My Big SIS!

Ok I feel the need to address my sister coming and helping me out as I needed surgery and was not sure how long I would be out of it. She came the day before and kinda walked in my shoes not to full capacity, but enough that she knew what she needed to do. (you see my sister does not have any children so we figured this was a good science experiment for her) LOL we love you. So I left early in the morning and Steph had to get up early and get the kids up early, get dressed, get breakfast, brush their teeth, and hair. then don't forget your backpack's and your shoes. Get into the van and take them to school. Well I think she did a pretty good job and of course my kids had the fear of the devil telling them if they were bad terrible things would happen to them..LOL She brought coloring books and crayons smart move no fights over crayons they each had their own. She help with dishes and fixing the dinners for us. I am happy she came down to spend time with my children so that they have a chance to bond with her. I am very happy she is my big sis and that she is still willing to take care of me from time to time. My kids love her and I know she loves them. I look forward to the next couple of holidays spending them with you all. Oh ya and did I tell you the perks of being sick are the pretty flowers you get.. Check them out. Thank you to my mom and my sister for getting me those pretty bouquets.
