October fun

WARNING: THIS IS A LONG POST! MORE LIKE 4 IN 1!

October was a busy month full of fun activities... a pumpkin patch, a birthday, and various Halloween activities.

First, over general conference weekend we went to Richfield and spent time with Kevin's mom and two of his sisters (Jenny and Tammy). We had fun listening to conference, puzzle building, scrapbooking, and going to a pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch was really fun! They had a free hay ride and train rides. My boys loved the train ride! Here are some pictures of the pumpkin patch:

This is Kevin and Jeron with Jeron's "little" pumpkin!

Not sure he wants his picture taken!

It was nap time! The only time I got a smile out of him was on the train ride!

All of the cousins that were there!

About a week ago Jeron broke the top drawer out of his dresser... his dresser is part of his bed, it's very interesting... so now there is a gaping hole where the drawer was. Later that night I went up to check on the boys and I couldn't find Kyson anywhere! I turned on the hall light so I could see better and this is how I found Kyson...

The most important activity of the month.... MY BABY TURNED 2!! I can't believe how fast time flies! October 30th was Kyson's birthday! We had a fun day with the boys... we went and bought Kyson's present since we procrastinated! After shopping we went and had lunch at McDonald's and let the boys play. Later that evening Jeron had a Halloween party to go to at a friends where he had a lot of fun! After that party we had a small birthday party for Kyson. We just had some family over for cake and ice cream.

Birthday boy!

I can't believe he is two! I love this little boy so much!

He makes us laugh everyday!

This is the cake I made for Kyson... it's not a beach theme... it's under the sea!

The yellow/brown is the ocean floor!

The day after Kyson's birthday was Halloween! My sister invited us (as she does every year) out to her house for pizza and trick-or-treating. Kyson was Elmo and Jeron was a knight. We had a lot of fun! Thanks for inviting us Mindy! Kyson caught on to the concept of trick-or-treating very quickly...

when the people answered the door at the first couple of houses

we went to he tried to walk right in! It was funny!

After he got used to just knocking and getting candy he was all for it!

Once again... Jer didn't want his picture taken!

Well, that was our month of October! I hope yours was just as fun as ours!

WARNING: Lots of Pictures!

It was a very busy weekend for us! It started on Friday with us celebrating my friend Sheena's birthday. We had her and her husband, Sheridan, over for dinner. After dinner my friends, Jessi and Aaron, showed up to stay the night. We had cake with all of them and then played "Settlers of Catan." It was a really fun evening.

The next morning we got up early and went to the Sky Fest. It was really cool. We stood in the middle of all 17 hot air balloons and watched them get blown up and launched. Jeron loved every minute of it!

Later that day we went with some friends (Brent and Megan) up the canyon to take pictures in the fall leaves. It was really nice to get some pictures of our entire family! I appreciate their help with them!

That is a classic Jeron face!

Not posed!! We were all trying to get Kyson to look up

and my friend snapped the picture!

I love it!

Boys will be boys! And my

house if full of them!

Our awesome friends Brent and Megan!

After pictures we went to IHOP for dinner.... then back to our house for games!!

It was a really fun weekend!!

Soccer Pictures

Jeron had soccer pictures on Saturday and because we're too cheap to pay $15 for two 5x7's I sent the camera with Kevin. Here are some of the resulting pictures....

Of course, he had to have his keys! His face in this

picture cracks me up!

This is him smiling big!

Kevin told him to not smile so big...

This was Kevin's attempt a posing him...

turn your head this way... now look at me... lol

Kyson felt left out!

5 Years!

All I can say is, WOW! Time flies! Five years ago I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life in the Manti Temple. The last five years have been the best of my life! Some of the craziest! In the last five years we have done so much! We both went to school... Kevin graduated! We have had two kids and bought a house! I know that doesn't sound like much but it really is! Here are a few pictures from my wedding day...

Doesn't he look great!?

Such a beautiful place!

The thing around my neck is a lei that Kevin made for me and gave to me as we were walking out the temple doors. He learned how to make them on his mission.

I am so grateful to have the chance to be married to my best friend for time and all eternity! He is such a sweet husband and father.

I love you Kevin!

My Soccer Player!

We signed Jeron up for soccer this year and so far he has really enjoyed it! He was excited to learn that his jersey is blue (his favorite color)! So far he has only had two practices so we will see how he likes playing in games! His first game is tomorrow... I am really hoping that he actually participates instead of hanging onto my leg!

Showing off his #!

Yes, his jersey drowns him but it was the smallest I could get!

Artwork, Fun with Moving, and Busy weekend!

Fist, I need to wish my husband a happy father's day! I know yesterday was father's day but I didn't have the time to get on and post. Kevin is such a good daddy! I am so blessed to have him be the father of my children. He is someone that they look up to and love so much! He is a great father and an even better husband! I love you Kevin!

I just thought these were really cute! The first is a picture of Kyson's first piece of artwork on a wall/door. Then the next three were done by Jeron. They were actually done about a month ago (before the move) and I just haven't had time to post it. I'm so proud of him for learning how to write!

While unpacking the boys got a hold of one of the boxes I had finished. If you want to entertain your little ones, just give them an empty box or a banana chair and they'll take care of themselves! It is so fun to watch Jeron and Kyson play together all day every day!

yes, Jeron is in the box that Kyson is closing!

Our busy weekend started on Friday when Kevin and Jeron got to go on a second father and sons camping trip. Since we moved and changed wards and our new ward had not yet had father and sons they boys decided to take advantage. Now Jeron thinks that camping is for just him and daddy and doesn't ever want Kyson or I to come along. It sounds like they had a lot of fun and I'm very happy that they could have some one-on-one time!

When they got back on Saturday I was busy cleaning and preparing for...... Jeron's 4th Birthday Party!! We did a Jungle Scavenger Hunt! I thnk the kids really enjoyed it! After the hunt we had pizza, opened presents, and had yummy cupcakes! Here are a couple pictures from the birthday party.....

Kyson eating cupcakes!

The bithday boy opening presents!

The cupcakes... the worms are supposed to be crawling through grass!

Today is Jeron's actual birthday. I can't believe he's four already! Time flies! The last four years have been some of the best of my life! Jeron is so funny and just plain fun to be with. Sure, we have our moments but who doesn't? Right now his favorite things are school, cars, McDonald's, anything blue, and riding his bike. Happy Birthday Jeron!
