Fall Leaves

We LOVE to play in the fall leaves. They are crunchy and great to jump into. Today we went over to our park (with the Barrus - love it when your friends are off track with you) and made ourselves a good pile! It was fun to jump in, throw on eachother, and make leave angels.

What do we do when we are off track?

We have had some fun times already this off track. We were able to go to Vernal with our good friends the Barrus. The Barrus have kids our kids ages plus two more! We have tons of fun together and it is nice that the kids get along so well. What do you do in Vernal you ask? Well we enjoyed some time at the Dinosaur Museum...we had a fight with the cat tail seeds. Braden got me good right in the face and it was over from there. Here is Amber, Tyson, and Jacob covered in seeds.

After that it was to the park for some tree climbing.

Jacob and Braden. Nathan and Grace.

Here is a taste of what the car ride was like. Jacob and Braden live in their own little world when they are together and we all have to put up with it! Abigail, Tyson's buddy is in this.

Sunday Forts

Growing up, one of my favorite things to do on Sunday was to make a fort with my brothers. We would get all the couch cushions out and make a big fort that we were able to keep up all day. We would most often play our marathon Monopoly game in the fort. My boys also enjoy doing this on Sunday and since we have a ping pong table in the basement, it is a perfect place to have a fort.

They take their music and a lamp down in there. Sometimes they play games and draw pictures. This week the Toys R Us Toy magazine came in the paper so they took that in their fort and looked it over, circling what they wanted for Christmas. Good luck boys, hope you have been good!

Last Soccer game of the season

We are glad to say that today marks the end of soccer until spring. With flag football and soccer over we have a couple months break until basketball starts! Nathan LOVES soccer and is a great little defender. He likes to go right after the ball. Today he had a break away steal and took it the length of the field. Way to go Nate!

Witches at Gardner Village

One of the things we do in October is go witch hunting. This year since the kids are off track for Halloween it was nice to go during the week...although it was still crowded. The boys love to see the witches and each have their favorites. I think they really enjoy the sugar cookies after at the bakery! Tyson's favorite witch is the one that will do anything for chocolate, since he can relate...so can I! Braden enjoys most of the witches and has a hard time picking just one, but his favorite this year was the hula-hooping witch. Nathan likes the witch that is in the "witchy-poo" What is it with boys and their potty humor?

Blogging here I come

So after seeing so many of my friends in the blog world and enjoying being able to catch up on their lives so easily I have decided to take the plunge. I like to scrapbook, but not because I am creative. I scrapbook to put pictures with journal entries, so I thought this might be a more up to date way of doing that. We will see how I do!
