My spook is 9 today!

If someone would have told me years ago that I would have a Halloween baby I would have laughed. I wouldn't trade my spook for anything. Justin is caring,compassionate and very dramatic. And of course he likes to be in charge of everything including his little brother. Justin has always been a mama's boy. When I leave and John is in charge justin says "please don't leave me with dad!" I'm grateful to have such a wonderful boy in our family. I love you justin. :)

Carving pumpkins

Headless horseman

Kitty

Scary face

Spider

We carved pumpkins for family night. They turned out great. Can you guess who carved which pumpkin?

Justins birthday dinner

Justin had his birthday dinner on sunday with his grandmas,aunts and cousin. He picked chicken courdon blue,mashed potatoes and rolls for his dinner. We also had cake and ice cream. It was a fun night for everyone.

I can ride a bike!!!!

Jace can ride a bike now. He has tried a few times but has been stubborn about learning. The other day a neighbor boy came over who just turned four and was riding a bike without training wheels. Jace couldn't believe someone younger was riding a bike. So he got his bike out and it took about a half hour and he was riding. It was so cute because the neighbor boy kept saying "You can do it Jace."

Fall Recess

The boys were out of school for two days since it was fall recess. They wanted to go to the pumpkin patch and temple square. We also went swimming and John took the boys to a fish hatchery for fishing. It was a fun vacation for us all.

Spiderman!!

Spiderman was at our house friday night. Jace was invited to a friends b-day party which had a clown and she painted everyones faces. Jace does not like to have his face painted but when she said spiderman he was all for it. He wanted to sleep with his face painted but I convinced him that would not be a good idea. Jace begged me to take this picture even though the paint was starting to come off. Isn't he the cutest spiderman you have ever seen?

Moms Birthday Party!

My mom turned 75 yesterday. I had a small little party with her at the transitional rehab facility she is staying at. This will be my moms last birthday so I wanted it to be special for her. Mom was diagnosed with liver cancer 6 months ago. This surprised us all even mom but she is determined to live as long as she can. I'm glad I have this time to spend with mom (even though she still drives me crazy). It was wonderful to see her spirits high from the gifts and visits from family and friends. This will be a wonderful day she and I will always remember.
