New Hats

I have never been the one to put hats,headbands ect. on Karleigh because she always pulled them off. But I found these and she actually keeps it on. I think she looks adorable. And so grown up. She will keep headbands in as well now. So I am getting excited to play dolly with her.

Halloween at school

Preston had his Halloween Party at school. He was soooo excited to wear his costume. They paraded themselves up and down the street in front of his teachers' home. Popped popcorn and played games. What a fun day!

LIttle mommy

Karleigh is getting so cute. She puts purses over her head and crawls around holding her babies. It is so fun to watch her grow and imitate all that she sees! We love her so!

Little Punkins!!!

Our neighbor invited us to pick pumpkins for family night along with a couple other families in our ward. Afterward we went back to their home and played a couple of fun Halloween games and had cider and donuts. The kids had a really fun time.

Pictures and update

Here is Colton while we were feeding the ducks. The geese were so loud he didn't want anything to do with them. The ducks at this park are a bit aggressive since they are fed to ALOT!!!!

I feel like this right now....

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like...'You know sometimes I forget to eat!' ...Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys, but I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

I am trying to get pictures but it isn't working. I will soon. Today Preston was in the Primary Program in Sacrament and he did great! He loves to sing so I was so happy to see him get up there finally. He usually gets too nervous and won't go up on the stage but today he finally did. We are so proud of him.

Chuck E Cheese

Well Layton just opened a new Chuck E Cheese and Preston has been begging to go. Actually I am the one that has really wanted to go. I am a sucker for these kind of places. Anyway we went tonight and it was soooo much fun. We have been to the one in Salt lake and it is a bit run down and I get a little anxious over germs cause everything is so dirty. So going to the new one was sooo much more fun. All the games worked and it was much cleaner.

Yesterday I took the kids to the park and fed the ducks. Colton was not very happy about it. He didn't like the ducks which is surprising because he usually loves it. He got woken up and they were really loud. The geese were all fighting over the bread. Karleigh loved it and had a really good time. She loved the slides.

On monday I took the kids to Liberty Park and I met my friend with her 3 kids I said I would watch them while she went to the doctor and I was hoping to leave Karleigh home but ended up with no babysitter and so I had all six kids by myself. Ages 5 ,4, 3, 2, 1, and 8 months. It was nuts. It went a lot better than I thought but it was crazy remind me never to have 3 sets of twins that sure gave me a feel for it. The kids had a great time but it was nerve racking for me I was so a fraid of losing one. Needless to say we all survived and will not be doing that again.
Alicia I love you and I was very happy to help!

Halloween Party

We had a really fun time having a Halloween Party for the kids last night they all had a really great time!

Vampire

Preston my Actor! He is totally ingrossed in Character. He was so cute. He kept posing and posing. He just couldn't get enough. He wants everyone to see him. He asked if we could go to the store so people could see him. He is such a shy one yet put him in character and his true self shines through!

First Snow!!!!

So this morning Colton wakes up and is soooo excited that it snowed. He wanted to go outside right away. I thought he would see how cold it was and want to come in. I was wrong. I made him come and get a coat and then he kept begging for me to come out with him. So we went out and built our first snowman of the season. I have to admit I was just like him as a kid I loved the snow!

Colton looks like a little snowboarder to me. He is just built like one I am afraid. The other day he was on our back porch standing on his much older cousin's board and telling me that it was his and he totally had the motion down. He is soo flippin cute! The last picture is of him sliding in the snow and twisting around doing cool tricks! He thinks he is so much bigger. Amazing him and Preston are such opposites.

Advice........

It is really strange the last few weeks I have been having some friends going through some really tough things and have asked me for advice. I am usually not shy about giving my thoughts and opinions but latley have found it really difficult. I haven't had any one to really talk to in a while and I am usually not giving advice more than recieving it for myself.. That I feel a litttle out of touch. I am glad they came to me but I wonder sometimes why. I used to pride myself in being there for my friends and just casual accquaintences. Latley I just have been out of commission with my own troubles that I have had to really rely on the spirit to help my friends. It is funny how quickly we forget our own troubles and how we made it through them. Needless to say I feel that I have followed the spirit in both these situations and am Happy to report that I know I am not as smart as I once thought I was. Yes that is my way of saying I think I have been humbled. Well I hope those friends realize that their struggles are helping me with some of my own.

New JOB!!!!!!!!!!

Conference weekend was great! We actually had Chad home on a Saturday! Bonus thanks to bad weather! On the flip of Bad weather every year we go up to Mueller Park for family picutres with Chad's family and This year we couldn't because it was to wet and cold. I am totally bummed because I was really hoping for a new family pic. Since we don't have one with Karleigh yet. I absolutley love the Autumn it is by far my favorite time of the year. I love the colors and the weather and all the time we get to spend as a family. So again I am sad not to have a picture with the beautiful colors and my beautiful family!

Other Great News Chad got the new JOB! Wonderful news for us. Not so wonderful news for my Dad. Chad starts on the 20th. Which is in 2 weeks. He is sooo excited.
I just want my dad to know how much we appreciate all that he has sacrificed for our little family. I love you to death and will always. I know that the transition is not the greatest! We are truly grateful and will make it up to you! I love you Dad!!!!!

I am just sitting here putting off finishing the laundry so I thought I would post picutres of Karleigh. Isn't she sooooo cute! I really love having a girl!
