Okay enough is enough

Okay enough is enough
The snow on the table is just from this week. We had a couple of day that is was clear so some has probably even melted.


Okay Matthew doesn't think it's cold. Can you see he came out without shoes.Crazy Utah kids.

How would it be to just hang by your fingernail and bask in the sun. This is Brayden's lizard who likes to hang from the top of the cage to sun his belly.


This was the view from my kitchen window one evening. Thanks Ryan for the new camera!

Just a little too brave.

Emma is not going to let Megan show her up.


Megan on her new roller blades. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa.

I think it looks pretty good for Ryan and I making it.

Brayden scored two baskets this game.

I just love his smile.

Brayden in the backyard on his rip stix. Looks really hard to me I don't think I will attempt it.

Isn't she beautiful!

It's a little hard playing in the sand when the sand is still frozen.

Happy Birthday to me.

Brayden and his history fair project, so excited that starting next year we will have three of these things to do.

Megan and her I search project from school. SO glad they are over with.

The day after!

I can't believe another Thanksgiving is come and gone. It seems like we just ended summer. We had a nice Thanksgiving. The kids were all healthy and somewhat happy. Even Matthew was good considering he only had maybe a 10 minute nap all day. I did not stuff myself as usual but still don't understand why the scale still went up. I think scales should be outlawed. Today was a boring day for the kids all their friends weren't home so me and the three oldest went to see Bolt. It was a very cute show and they enjoyed it. Emma is not my movie watcher and half way through the show she was ready to go home. Matthew stayed home with Ryan and slept the entire time we were gone. I have been trying to get all the Christmas decorations put up. But Matthew moves them before I get them in place. I decided to not put everything up, I'll leave a few of the more breakable things in boxes maybe in a few years they will be a little less at risk. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Today we headed out for the zoo. Packed a lunch and the kids dressed in their Halloween costumes for what is called Boo at the Zoo. When we started to get closer to the Zoo and cars were parked all along the road should have told us go home, go home. It was crazy people everywhere. There were so many people at the zoo, in fact I think all of Salt Lake was there. The crazy thing was people were standing in line to get candy for 10 minutes. When you got to the front you got a butterscotch. Hello! I want Chocolate. Our kids luckly did not care about the candy. So, we just went and around and looked at the animals. Which most of them were hiding due to their were so many people.
Then we took our first ride on Legecy Highway, very pretty and not a crazy as I-15. Rushed home made a batch of cookies and got dressed to go to Ryan's family Halloween party. Wow! I love fake eyelashes. The kids never go to bed for a babysitter. Church is going to be a beast.

We spent the weekend up at Bear Lake. It was beautiful this weekend compared to the 6 inches of snow we had last weekend. Grandma has redone the cabin and bought new couches for the cabin. So we went up to bring the old couches home. I now have a couch in the basment for any visitors to come and stay. The kids got along really well. Until the ride home. Megan decided to sit in the second row, due to the fact she keeps getting car sick. Well she did alright until the end of Logan. Then she got bored and she did everything she could to make the rest of us crazy. Mind you Matthew was trying to sleep. I think Ryan was driving faster just to get home to get her out of the car. Now they are finally in bed for what seems like such a short time. Because as soon as I am sound asleep I am sure to have one cry or climb in bed.

Can you see the static in the girls hair?

Emma and her best friend Natalie.

Today Matthew learned how to fold his arms for the prayer.

Emma was helping Matthew fold his arms.

Emma and Megan enjoying my bath tub.

Emma and her pumpkin.

I decided to dress the girls in their swimming suits. I thought it would be easier to clean than their clothes.

Matthew carving his first pumkin. I had to stick his hand in because he did not want to do it at first.

Look at all Grandma's great grandkids. There is only one grandchild in this picture and it is Annlie who turns 16 in just 9 days.

Megan as the bride of Frankenstein.

Emma as a bride.

I never thought Brayden would be the first to wear my cheerleading uniform.

Here we are just a week after the snow storm. The kids and Ryan are playing Duck Duck goose.

This is Utah weather for you. Looks like winter but it is only the second week of October.

Two brothers out to play. If your wondering what is hanging down from Matthew's shirt it is his undershirt. It came unsnaped and I did not get it snapped back before the picture.

You can see how far the lake is out.

I had my Mom take a picture of the two of us. I can't think of very many pictures of just us.

Can you see how many teeth Meggie is missing. She had a total of 5 teeth out at one time. Her two front teeth may be in for Christmas!

Matthew loves to have his picture taken


Matthew is trying to keep up with the girls. The girls were sliding down the door because it was wet. So they turned it into a slide.

I wish you could have heard her laughing.

Matthew could not decide which toy to play with in the sand.
