Hold On - I'm almost done for the night


I have not had a spare minute to post the last few days so I'm getting caught up! Tonight our ward had a trunk or treat - so We got all vamped up and headed to the church for a fun night of getting treats from trunks, after our bags were filled with too many treats we headed into the church for some more sugar - donuts and hot chocolate - a fun night was had by all!

Carving Pumpkins with Cousins... What could be better?

We met at Grandma Olsen's house had dinner and then ripped the guts out of pumpkins- Dan even got into the carving spirit!

Londyn and Riley focusing way too much

oooh goooey guts were not being enjoyed by my brother Kyle and Reece


The finished products And Last but not Least Jean whipping the cream for the yummy
chocolate crock pot cake she made us!!
The only thing missing from the carving night were Ty, Kimmy, Alexa and Kade!

Kudos to Jamie!

You'll all be sad to know that I no longer have PINK hair - cute Jamie fixed my hair and I must say she out did herself!!
Too bad that since that day when she did my hair, it has never looked that cute - I can never do my hair as cute as the stylist - DANG!

Little Bit of Bread with dirty clothes...

The other day I was picking up the house after the kids had left for school and imagine my surprise when I found bread among dirty clothes that had been thrown into the laundry room. I bet no one has ever seen that before.

It's all about the kids....

I was talking on the phone to our neighbor Joanne yesterday and she said she had a cat balloon she wanted to give Preston, so after I got off the phone I sent Preston over to get his little balloon and this is what he came back with. I guess I don't know what a balloon is.


She is so nice! She probablly felt bad for my kids because we have no Halloween decor up this year, I just haven't wanted to pull it all out. I know I can be a real fun hater (according to my kids). While we have been tending Olie he has been out front tied on the porch, well we had to immediately move Olie to a new location so we could put these on the front porch, they are really cute.

Just Hangin Around....

Grandma and Preston just hangin at Lagoon! We took a picture of Preston and then I told my mom she needed to get her picture taken, it didn't even take very much coaxing to get her to do it.

Hip Hip Hooray for UEA!!!!

We had a mini vacation without leaving home, at least not going too far. We started Wednesday night by starting to paint Londyn's room, then Wednesday we went to Lagoon all day, Grandma Olsen came with us and Londyn's friend Katlyn from our old neighborhood(they were the best of friends when we lived in Kaysville and they haven't seen each other for quite awhile they had a great day together). We also tended Olie while Kyle, Jean and the kids went to Washington to visit her family. Friday we painted Londyn's room all day, then Grandma O came up and spent the night we went to Rubios for dinner and then played our favorite new game WIG OUT. Saturday morning we went to Preston's last soccer game of the season and the other team didn't show up(Bummer), then Dan had some great plans for us, you guessed it something to do with horses, we got to clean out horse stalls and put new road base in them to get ready for winter. Sunday night we watched Nim's Island and then tucked everyone in bed so they could get up early for school. We had a really fun weekend together!

Preston's favorite lagoon ride - "Odyssey"

The tilt O whirl

On my favorite ride - "Tidal Wave"

The only time we saw Londyn all day long - We were on the ride "Wicked" - Loved it!!



Olie all tucked in for the night

Londyn was suppose to be all tucked in for the night - Busted - but I didn't get mad because she was reading her scriptures.
Preston already in dream land.

The perfect ending to a great weekend!
