First Day of Halloween

When did Halloween become a three day holiday? The kids dressed up for school today tomorrow it will be for Ryan’s work and Saturday for trick for treating.

Alex is Sleeping Beauty and Connor is Optimus Prime. Hayden will dress up tomorrow as Charlie Brown.

35th Birthday

Ryan turned 35 on Friday. I remember when I thought thirty was really old and I always like to give Ryan a hard time because he is 6 years older than me, but truth be told I’m now starting to feel old so I think I’ll stop teasing him about it.

On Friday we got a baby sitter and went to dinner and then did a little shopping. After that we went to an indoor go-kart place where you can go as fast as 30 mph. It was pretty fun until we had to stop and I ended up crashing in to a dark storage room and breaking a shelf, it was pretty funny and I couldn’t stop laughing, but the guy working didn’t find it funny at all.

Then next day we kind of celebrated with the kids and had pizza, cake and ice cream. I made Ryan a carrot cake. I think that is what I make him every year. He must like it. He got a few small things from me and the kids, but I think the thing he liked the best was his car. No not a new one, it just looks new. We had it detailed and it turned out really nice and now I want the van done, maybe next year for my birthday.

Well I hope you had an okay birthday weekend Ry and really, you’re not that old, besides you still look like you’re in your twenties.

Alex and Hayden Head Banging in Their Owns Ways...

Just wanted to post a couple of funny videos of our kids. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

What A Weekend

What A Weekend e were down in Utah again for the weekend, big surprise I know. It was a crazy and good weekend though.

Ryan was able to go to the BYU football game with one of his friends and I was able to spend some time with my Mom.

That same day (Friday) Alex lost her first tooth. She had it at 5:30 p.m. and at 6:00 p.m. it was gone. She lost it and when I say lost, she really did lose it. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the car and the more I thought about it I think she might have swallowed it. She was eating candy and I really think it got in some candy and before she even know it, it was gone for good.

She did even care about the Tooth Fairy coming or not, but I think we’re going to come up with some creative way for the Tooth Fairy to recognize the event.

Hayden also had a big weekend, he started to walk. He still prefers crawling because it’s much faster for him, but he can now walk pretty far when he wants to. He was pretty proud of himself the first time he took more than three steps. After falling he had to stand up just to clap about it.

It was also conference weekend which is all ways nice, but this time it was really hard to listen to all the talks so I’m looking forward to getting the Ensign so that I can read them.

Well we are now home for almost three weeks and I am so happy to be able to get back into a routine and be home for the next two weekends. There is no place better then your own home and your own bed.
