Lukas

Ok, so does it make me a bad mother that tonight I didn't take any pictures of MY kids at the festival? I took several of this little booger!!! He is so cute!!!

Are you kidding me???

Can you believe that this cake did not win best dessert??? I mean really folks!!!!!!!! It wouldn't be so bad if the one that won was cooler than mine, but NO it was a chocolate cake with friggin nuts on the top!!!!! What the h#llo kitty???? Oh well................

Halloween Fun!!!

Look at this wonderful cake we made as a family for the Fall Festival at church tonight! We had a lot of fun with this. The boys each decorated a side of the pumpkin with candy. This was a really fun project. I found the idea on http://www.bhg.com/. If you go there just search Monster Face Cake. It was really easy it's just 2 cake mixes made in a bunt pans, frosting, and random candy to make the faces! Enjoy!!!

That is Kourtland's side! He gave his a mustache!!! LOL!!!

And, Kadence with his side of the pumpkin!!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!

My BYU-I girls

I don't think I ever posted about my BYU-I girls when they came in. We had a great time and I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time. For as miserable as most of my Rexburg job was these 2 girls made it all worth while. I love you Becky and Sunny!!!!!!!!!!

We went to Silver Dollar City, shopped at the outlet malls, went to a Razorback game and just hung out. It was an awesome week!! (that's what she said!) And we said that A LOT!!!! They really are great and I am so thankful that I got to meet them!!! Here are a few pictures of our fun!!

Sunny, Me and Becky! GO HOGS!!!!!!

This deserves an OH, MY HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

(I hate that phrase for those of you who don't know that!) Does anyone in the world say Oh, my hell? I didn't think so!

Cousins

Look at how cute these 2 boys are!!! We are so glad to have Lukas here in Arkansas with us. It is fun to play with a baby and then RETURN him!!! :o) He is so much fun! He loves me the best and loves to laugh and smile. They boys L.O.V.E. him!!!!

My surrogate Niece

This is my cute surrogate Niece. For all you faithful readers you know that I am not really allowed to be around my REAL niece.

This is Kylie and she is so sweet. I love her to pieces. This is another CEC trip with my best friend Shelly and her 6 kids!!!!!!! Kylie wanted to go draw our picture. We did 2 one with our tongues out and this one. We each got to keep one and she chose the tongue one. Isn't she cute???

She calls Matt my daddy? If he is not with me she will always say "Where is your Daddy?" It is so cute. I'll say my Daddy is in Van Buren, but my husband is at __________. Then she will say "Oh, yeah Matt is your husband!" I just love her to death! She's a cutie pie!!!

Chuck E. Cheese Adventure

So a few weeks ago we went to Chuck E. Cheese for a school fundraiser. We had eaten our pizza and gone to play games when Kadence found me and said "Mom, I want some more pizza." I had already boxed it all up and had it on the table ready to go so I went over with him to help him out.

And would you believe that a woman and her son were sitting at the table behind ours eating our leftover pizza out of the to go box and drinking Matt's drink?????!!!!!!!! I'm not kidding either!!!!

I asked her if she got the food and drink off of our table and she said "No,No!" (she was Mexican and tried to speak a no english) I was so ticked! I told her YES, you did!!! I went to find the manager so he could kick them out or atleast say something to her, but they took off. Can you believe that though? I was shocked! I guess they needed that free food so they could play some games.

We got a "free" pizza out of the deal, but I was still so mad. I mean they were even drinking out of Matt's straw! Gross!!!!!!!!! I took some pictures with my phone and for some reason they won't load onto my computer. They were of the food in the to go box and Kadence with a pouty, hungry and sad face. So just use your imagination. And next time to go to Chuck E. Cheese leave an armed guard at your table with your leftovers!!!!

WHY ME????????????? UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looky here...........

I FINALLY figured out how to change the background on my blog!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a genius!!!! Thank you, thank you very much!!!!!!!!
