AGAIN ALREADY?...part 1

That's right that little thing you see below was once the big thing a little further down. Can it be? Has it really been 4 years? I can still remember waking up at 4 in the morning November 2, 2005 wondering if I was in labor. Soon after my water broke which definitely confirmed that I was indeed in labor and then 9 hours later Payton was here. 8lb 9oz and 21 1/2 inches long, he was beautiful and perfect in every way! Fast forward 4 years and now look at where we are. He is definitely bigger and has changed so much but I still think he is beautiful and perfect in every way even when he is picking on his sister! Happy Birthday bubbas we love you so much:)

Halloween 2009 edition!

Here are the kids all decked out in their Halloween costumes ready to go trick or treating in our neighborhood!




Let me just say that Parker was a little trooper. She walked our whole neighborhood and would not let me help her carry her bucket that I have to say was pretty heavy. She is so independent she even had to do all the stairs by herself, and if I tried to help she would yell at me!

Trick-or-Treat at the Snake River Landing

I may have gone a little overboard this Halloween with all the activities for the kids but there was so much going on and where they are both at a good age I thought why not!! So on Friday, October 30th I took the kids to the Trick-or-Treat at the Snake River Landing where they had all kinds of businesses there with their trailers all decorated handing out candy to the kids. The weather was a lot warmer which was nice and they kids had a lot of fun. There were a few radio stations there playing music so the kids had a lot of fun dancing.

Here's Parker shaking her thing.

This was at the end after they got all their candy. I took the picture right before a lady unplugged it and it fell on the kids. No one was hurt physically but I do think that Paytons feelings were hurt. I think he thought they did it on purpose so I had to calm him down for a bit. After we were done here Sam met up with us and then we took the kids over to the river to get some more candy.

Boo at the zoo 2009

I cannot believe Halloween has come and past us already this year has gone by so fast!! And once again we tempted to attend the annual Boo at the Zoo at our local and lovely Taughus Park Zoo on Thursday, October 29th!! So we stood in line where I think it was like 30 degrees outside to get our tickets. Payton was being kind of a little grouch because he had fallen asleep in the car and was woken up way too early. We went with our friends Melissa, Carson, James and little Tessa and of course Grandma! Even though it was really cold out the kids seemed to have a lot of fun and candy especially Parker. She would not let go of her bucket it was so cute. All fun aside though I think this will be our last Boo at the Zoo since it is $4 a person and it only takes like 15-20 minutes to walk through!

The ballerina waiting in line.

Payton's first field trip

As some of you may know Payton is going to pre-school this year and we are both loving it. He goes 3 times a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. One of the reasons I'm really enjoying this pre-school is because it is right in our neighborhood so we can just walk there even if the weather isn't that great. Well once a year Mrs. Jaime takes the kids on a field trip so for this year she took them to the pumpkin patch in Idaho Falls where they also had a hay maze and a train that the kids could ride, and then when they were done on the way out they could pick pretty much any pumpkin to take home. Of course of all the pumpkins that Payton could pick he picked the small one lol and then also one for Parker that was even smaller! It was kind of cold but it really didn't seem to matter to the kids, they all had a great time. Thanks Mrs. Jaime for all the fun!!

Here's Payton and his friend and classmate Daison inside the big red barn.

The boys at the beginning of the hay maze.

And now at the end and heading to the train.
