Drive in Movie night!

We love the drive in over here!!! With Halloween in the air we headed over to watch scary movies. Benjamin, Emma, Noah and I loaded up with blankets and treats and met Kylee, Taliah, Charlotte, and Jordan. We watched Goosebumps 2 and A House with a Clock in its Walls. Both are kid scary movies. Kylee and I laughed at how scary some of the parts actually were. I love sister time! The kids loved both movies. Emma and Benjamin stayed awake for both and noah slept through the second. Noah cuddled up with Taliah and they fell right asleep. The weather was perfect to watch the movies. We had a great night out while Jake and Navy had daddy daughter time and watched moana at home and ate candy.

Trunk or Treat

We had our ward trunk or treat last night and the kids had so much fun. We had dinner and then they went around trick or treating. Noah kept going back to people that still had candy asking for more, this kid knew how to work the system! Navy was in heaven once she got her candy. She would just chill wherever and eat her little candy pieces. Emma and Benjamin ran around with their friends all night. They had a dance party, games and more treats. Noah's favorite was the cake walk and he was lucky with those numbers. We sure love our ward and all the people in it. I was the Queen of death and Jake and Benjamin were zombies. I had three other zombies that decided last minute to just be a volleyball player that has made it without turning into a zombie... hahaha oh Emma, and then a nemo and a supergirl. They all still looked so cute!

Zerkle Halloween Party

We had Madi and Vernon's Halloween party this last weekend. They had lots of snacks and food. We all got to hang out and chat while kids all played and ran around. We had last minute costumes, I don't know why my kids always want to change their minds before we go! So we went as characters from Nightmare before Christmas. Navy, Noah and I were Lock, Shock, and Barrel. Benjamin was Jack. Emma was Sally with her real stitches also helping hold her face together. Hahahaha the kids love getting make up done each Halloween and its fun to help them think of ideas. There was a mermaid wig there and Navy just loved having long, pretty hair and so did Grandpa! It was a perfect night to sit around the fire and enjoy treats and homemade rootbeer! So yummy! We missed Jake this year he was up in Utah with his brothers, cousins, and uncles at the family cabin, having a great time.

Emma's beach day!

Emma had her first activity day camp at our church building. They had the whole building decorated in beach themes, surf boards, tiki hut, island vibes, trees, balloons, anchors, etc. She had the best time. They went from room to room doing different classes and at each class got a different charm to go on a bracelet they were given. Thank you to all the leaders that made her day so special!

Real stitches for halloweeen :/

Emma was at volleyball tonight and all the kids noticed her chin was bleeding and the blood was everywhere. I got the call from coach and was with my mom so she went to go check. After we got pictures we saw she needed stitches and so I went and grabbed her and took her to our old Bishops house, because, of course it happens after our quick care is closed. Emma was so tough and she said the worst part was the alcohol pad to clean it... she said the lidocaine shots were totally fine and then she didn’t feel the stitches either. Such a crazy night and her having no idea what happened and no one seeing her fall. Just glad she is ok and we stitched her all up and it will help her heal better. I sure love your pretty face Emma!!

Noah is now 5! and can be completely independant if you ask him :/

I can't believe how the time has gone. Noah is my buddy he was by my side every day I was so sick with Navy and then has been my little helper ever since. We have cuddle time and play every day and he loves we get a little mommy and Noah time every day while Navy naps. He is the sweetest kid with the kindest heart. He is so smart and knows his letters and numbers and is starting to read. He absolutely loves school and was disappointed when he didn't start "real" school the day that he turned 5. He is killing it in pre school though and is having so much fun there. He is making lots of friends at church and at school. His favorite color is different every time you ask. He loves his blankies. He just learned how to ride a bike a month or so ago and has been riding so good and crazy! You would think he has been riding for years!! Noah loves playing games with Emma and Benjamin, they all get so creative and think of games to play constantly. He can be rough and tough with Benjamin and then sweet and quiet playing with Emma. He loves being Navy's big brother and that she is getting old enough to play with him too. Every night we hear Noah just laughing away with Benjamin or Emma or both and I love hearing those sweet voices. Now that he is 5 he thinks he can do whatever he wants. Anytime I catch him doing something he shouldn't be he says, " its ok mom, I'm 5 now"...….. so cute, but he needs to slow it down! hahaha.

For his birthday he decided on a dinosaur party because we love Jurassic Park movies over here. We decorated the house and he was stoked! Sunday we had family over for root beer floats and he loved seeing all of them and that they were here just for him! We appreciate all the family that took the time to make his day special. Noah was so excited to see my grandparents, his great grandparents, wish him happy birthday and open those cards. He loved all his gifts and the people that took the time to make his day even more special!

We started his birthday with a movie. We went and saw Smallfoot with his aunts and cousins. It was so cute and Noah loved the popcorn and snacks he got with the funny movie. Noah asked that for his birthday he could have his friends over to play. So Monday we had a friend party. There were around 16 kids running around the back yard. The weather was just good enough that we got to play outside. I drew dinosaurs on the walls and the kids threw water balloons at them. We played some games on the grass and had all the kids laughing. I did face paint of mostly dinosaurs on all the kids and they looked so cute.



 Noah had Jurrasic World cupcakes that were so yummy. We made frozen dinosaur eggs for the kids to take home along with raptor claws(ring pops) that were so dang adorable. Noah was one happy kid for two days straight. I love seeing him in his element with friends and loved ones! Noah you are the best! Happy birthday! I love you!

Somerset Halloween Carnival

It's that time of year again, this was our fourth year at our school's carnival and it was packed! I think it gets busier and busier every year because it is so fun! We go from start to finish every year. Playing games, trick or treating, haunted hallways, and lots of candy! The favorite games this year was the soda game (of course) Jake and the kids won 15+ sodas! The other game the kids loved was a guessing game and they got a king or regular sized candy bar every time! Benjamin was a basketball player, Emma was a volleyball player, Noah was the hulk, and Navy was a witch. They had so much fun dressing up and having face paint. We ended the night with new books, lots of soda and tons of candy! Perfect way to start a great October!

Dig pink night

Shadow ridge had a breast cancer awareness game. We all went to support and watch Kylee coach her team. It was so fun with all of us wearing pink. Kylee even colored Noah and Navy's hair pink and they looked so handsome! We all had such a fun night at the game. Benjamin and Emma loved watching the big girls play and were taking notes for themselves.

Go Mustangs!
