Cookies

I've been getting the Bountiful Baskets, which by the way is totally AWESOME!! $15 bucks for a bunch of yummy fruit and a ton of other yummy stuff is well worth it! The last time I got it they had Halloween sugar cookies for ten bucks that were already baked and cut into cute shapes, all you had to do was frost them!! This full-time working mom of two kids was all over that!!! The kids loved frosting them and Chandler and I loved eating them! LOL!

Men go hunting, ladies go shopping...

This last weekend the guys got all bundled up and off they went up the mountain. This was Wyatt's first time hunting and he loved it! He had his cute little gun and was all ready to shoot a "big buck!" They got up bright and early Saturday morning and I thought he would be mad he got woke up so early but as soon as Chandler said the words "hunting" and "the boys" he was wide awake and so excited! He is just getting too big :( My dad is the one with the tag, hopefully he gets a BIG one!

While they went hunting us ladies took a fun little shopping trip. We went to a craft show in Mt. Pleasant, then we ventured to Orem and went to a new store called Hobby Lobby. It's a huge store full of all kinds of cute crafts and decor. Then it was off to my favorite place to eat...Olive Garden mmm mmm mmm! We ended our trip at the mall and McKall's favorite, the Disney Store! Oh and not to forget, Cold Stone ice cream! Oh Oh and to really not forget we ran into my uncle Curtis and his family at the mall. BYU had a game that day and we were told that Riley did awesome!! What a fun day full of laughs, family and food!!




Funny story behind the random donkey:
Chandler asked Wyatt if he wanted to pet the donkey and Wyatt said, "no I wanna shoot it!" Chandler said you cant shoot donkey, then Wyatt said, "where's Shrek?" Too funny!



This is Riley, BYU's kicker #99 and our kids' idol!! :)

Pumpkin Patch

McKall and I were able to take a trip to the new little pumpkin patch here in Nephi, with McKall's preschool class. It was oh so fun! We took a little tractor ride to the pumkin patch and off the kids went searching for their pumpkins. McKall was running around like crazy trying to find the perfect one...it was so cute! She found one for herself and one for Wyatt, he was excited she got him one too! They also had a cute little maze that McKall would have played in all day if I would have let her...she loved it! She and I decided that we for sure need to take dad and Wyatt to the pumpkin patch soon!! :)



This is McKall's cute little friend Kyrie!

Bread making fools...

and Rachel is the main one! She has gotten us all into this bread making fun! We went to a "Pantry Secrets" bread making class a couple weeks ago and got "the secret recipie!" Ohhh man is it ever so yummy! Sure wish I could give it to ya all, but it's a secret and you have to go to a class to be in the "loop!" :) Rachel has been making bread like mad here lately and is sharing her sweet skills with my mom and I...watch out Betty Crocker! LOL! Check out those Italian loafs...holy moly they were huge, but every bit got eaten that night...can you say YUMMY!

The kids weren't to into the whole bread making stuff so they decided to have their own fun...

Family time...

The kids have been a little sick lately...pink eye style! :( So since Dr. Bailey is out of town this week, my sweet bestest pal Ferrin worked for me yesterday. :) Chandler has to work all weekend so he decided to take the day off too. The kids were tired of being cooped up in the house so we picked up my dad and took a drive up the canyon! The leaves were seriously gorgeous and it was fun family time well spent! I love my family more than anything...they're the GREATEST!!




Cute little beaver dam...

Football!

Chandler and I were able to go to the BYU game last Saturday and it was tons of FUN! We got to sit by Mitchell and Cody whom we had lots of fun with...what a couple of hoots! Chandler loves teasing Mitchell and Mitchell loves teasing Chandler! They are just like Riley...awesome personalities! BYU hasn't been doing the greatest but they were awesome especially in the 1st and 2nd quarters! We were cheering so loud Chandler lost his voice a little! HA HA! They only won by 3 points but that just made for a close intense game!!! After the game we ate at Steak and Everything, it was dang GOOD!!!
We bought Wyatt a football and I dont think he's put it down since and this kid has an arm on him...I'm talkin spiral throws and all! Future quarterback???? McKall got some little pom poms and likes to cheer and say, "Go Riley!" She's the cutest cheerleader I ever seen!
Hopefully BYU can keep it up, we'll see.... GO BYU and GO RILEY #99!

Happy Birthday....

Papa Jimmy is one AwEsOmE grandpa...he really is the most caring and loving person. He's been having a little trouble with his heart lately but hopefully they will get him all better real soon! We LOVE you tons Papa Jimmy!
ps these pictures were taken with my cell phone so they are not the greatest...

Round 3

Well this is round 3 of the dreaded dentist. McKall has been such a trooper through all of this, way to go little sweetie! She has 2 caps on three sides of her back teeth and one spacer hooked to the one cap cause this time they had to pull one of her teeth :( She cried so hard but the dentist reinformed me that she was ok...I think he could tell I was nervous especially when he pulled her tooth out and I seen how stinkin huge it was and she bled like no other. The tooth itself was so small but the root was so big! I feel like I've turned into the "crazy about teeth mom" cause I'm so overly concerned about flossing and brushing morning and night...hopefully I've brain washed my children about the importance of flossing! HA HA! The dentist is stinkin expensive and having to pay a fortune for baby teeth that are going to fall out is hard to do. We have learned that flossing at a young age is soooo very important...too bad we had to find this out the hard way with McKall. I so wish we would have started flossing McKall's teeth when she was lots younger :( You live and learn though right. Anyway McKall got to put her tooth in a fun little "tooth necklace" and put it under her pillow. She was super excited for the Tooth Fairy to come and she got a whoopin $1.50! Now only one more cap to go...we can do this.
I love the ladies at the dentist office! Lindy is our very favorite and we found out at Call's last appointment that her and Chandler went to school together at Clearfield High...such a small world!

Family night...

We started having family night on Sunday nights with the whole family and it's turned out to be lots of fun! Each family takes a turn and does a lesson and a treat! It was our turn this last Sunday. I seen these really cute bats on my friend Bethany's blog so I decided we would read a little story on tithing and do a fun little craft for the kids! They loved it and they turned out so CUTE!! Here is a link to the crafty little pumpkin bats! SO FUN...


I never decorate for Halloween but Dr. Bailey had Ferrin and I get a bunch of decor for the office and it really got me in the "Halloween mood" and made me want to decorate my house :) It's nothing fancy but the kids loved helping and they love our little skeleton friend, Mr. Bones :)
