I Was Punked

I can't believe it, but this totally happened to me yesterday...

Blake was busy writing the above scheme at the table when the next thing I knew I was hit by a wad of paper.

"Throw paper ball at mom"

"Mom looks away"

"Take Silly Bands"

Happy Thanksgiving

Blake finally discovered whip cream!  After many years of politely declining he finally gave it a try.

Raingutter Regetta

Blake just participated in his first Raingutter Regatta (aka- Pinewood Derby for boats).  He won his first race and was eliminated the second race...but now we know what to do for next year.

Hanging out with the Wolf Den boys

Uniform inspection...this is no joke.

The adoring fans.

All the boats are ready to go.

Award ribbons!

There is a Green Hill Not Far Away

We've had some misty, rainy days here and the hills are green, it's so pretty.  This is for my cool sis-in-law Krystle because not everyone can appreciate a green hill like she can.

Halloween 2010

We didn't trick-or-treat this year because it was on Sunday, but we went to Grandma's and helped pass out candy.  The boys were sad all day that they couldn't go trick-or-treat, but at the end of the day they all had so much fun just passing out candy.

Avery is such a shoe girl these days that we planned her outfit around the shoes.

Yea!  Blake is showing teeth in a smile.  (He usually gives me the same straight smile.)

Goofy goggles from the Colin's class party.

Trunk-or-Treat at the ward party...the boys couldn't believe how much candy they got.   Blake came home and weighed his...3 pounds!

Look how cute Avery and her friends are! Avery, Elsa and Jada.

Lincoln impersonator...he was close to Lincoln's real height 6'2" (plus stovepipe hat)

Scorpion

Avery was just happy to leave with a balloon.

This was all Blake cared about- the origami station.

Happy Birthday Colin!

Colin turned 6 today!  His party was a party with an identity crisis (not my finest).  It was a Bakugan-Knight-Halloween-Sponge Bob party.  My plan was to have an outdoor party with a bounce house and just let the kids play.  However, it rained ALL day and changed my plans.  So we still had the bounce house and moved the party into the garage. 

Colin wanted spider cupcakes but that proved too hard...so they turned into scary skulls.

We played a Mummy Game where the kids raced to wrap each other up in toilet paper. 

This mummy is ready for the tomb.

We moved inside for present time and he got the perfect mix of boy presents- Bakugan, Legos, Playmobil &Nerf.

Oooh...scary.

My sweet boys.
