Chocolate

Two posts in one day that's pretty good for me. Ian decided to get into the chocolate covered pretzels I made. I guess I did not put them up high enough. Guilty I think so!! But he is so darn cute when he has done something wrong.

A little on life..

It has been awhile but allot has happened. I feel like I have been so busy and not had a moment to stop. Thanksgiving was great and we spent it with my family. This year my sisters and I decided we would try and make Thanksgiving really exciting for the kids. I decided to have the kids color a fun Thanksgiving page and make turkey hands. Andrea had the kids make corn cobs with colored corn kernels. The day was full of fun Thanksgiving day things. Football and guitar hero were the Boys things and I finished up making Christmas stockings for Cade and Daisy. Dinner was great as always full of all the things we love! Jason and I went through the Black Friday ads in hopes of some good deals. We were lucky enough to be able to get a new camera. Now I will be able to post more pictures and get the cute moments that I have not been able to get on camera. Jason took the big shopping day off and we had so much fun doing what we never get to do SHOP! We found a bunch of good deals and almost finished up our things for the kids. As we start in to December I feel so Grateful to be as blessed as we are in hard times. I have been able to stay home with my three kids which is a really big deal to me. Jason has a stable job and loves everything about it. We have been able to build a food storage and pay off some bills. I am grateful to know that we are okay even when everything around us is not. I hope that everyone else is doing well also.

Going Private..

I was reading a friends blog today and have decided to close my blog only to viewers I choose. I guess I did not realize how open I was being by allowing anyone to view our blog. I want to be sure I keep my kids safe and my family. If you would like to view our blog please leave your email address so I can add you! Thanks..

Sundays!

I just have to vent on this ever eventful day! I appreciate the fact that I have three great kids but when it comes to Sunday I have a really hard time dealing with it all. I wake up feeling great and am thrilled to be able to get my kids to church almost always for sacrament. Jason works every Sunday so I tackle it all on my own. I arrive at church and start with sacrament. Ian screams because Brinlee did this or that I try to calm him down and he screams louder. The baby is starting to fuss and Brinlee is giving me attitude. I am trying to hold it all together and still stay calm but it just does not happen. I try to take Ian out and Brin follows. Ian and Brinlee are then running around and being naughty. I am ever so glad when nursery rolls around and I take them to class. I then quickly feed Cade and am off to Primary to full fill my calling. Four o'clock rolls along I get Ian and Brin we go home and I start dinner. I fill like my Sundays are stress packed days not spiritual uplifting days and I am left exhausted and worn out by the end. Anyone have any ideas for making these days seem a little more worth it and maybe a little eaiser? At least in January Jason will start his new schedule and I will have a little more help with my three, three and under..

Halloween!!

We really had the best Halloween anyone could ask for. It was perfect weather an amazing 60 degrees. I took Brin Ian and Cade to my parents and we spent the day awaiting our fun night. Brinlee was already a pro at Trick or Treating but for Ian this was his first "real" experience with it. Ian learned really quick that if he could be the first one to the door with Brin and Hannah behind him when the person handing the candy out leaned down to give the girls candy he could snatch some more from the bowl. Ian definitely got more than Hannah and Brinlee. Cade was our cute little bat and he rode in the stroller but was to tired to enjoy the fun. It was a great night and it really makes me happy to have my three fun kids to enjoy it with ! Brinlee is already planning what she is going to be next year, a girl after my own heart!!

Pumpkin Patch

Jason and I took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of days ago. We went to the same place as last year and at the same time as last year and there were so many pumpkins. This year not the same story it has been so warm and all the pumpkins were rotten. I was lucky enough to find a spot to sit Cade down for a picture. Ian loved to tractor and we found the perfect spot for Brin. We took some cute pictures and then went to Walmart to find the perfect pumpkin.

Brinlee The Mermaid

Halloween is almost here and Brinlee is so excited! This year Brinlee wanted to be Ariel. I looked around and was not about to pay 30.00 for a costume. I called my mom and we came up with this. Brinlee loves it and it cost way less. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and it is always so much more fun when you can enjoy it with your kids. I am sure there will be more pictures to come..
