Happy Halloween!

Here's a few pictures of our crazy kids! It was a nice night so we went around to more houses than usual and when we were all finished the kids said their legs hurt from walking. :) They filled their bags and were excited to go threw them....Last Saturday I went with my friend, Joleen, to a trunk or treat then to our Ward Carnival that night. We had tons of fun! The boys had a class party at school too. I was actually in charge of Jaren's. Luckily for me Joleen was in charge of her daughters too. So I stole her ideas!

Field trip to the Pumpkin Farm!

Justin's Preschool went on a field trip to Black Island Farms on the 7th, Jess and I got to go with them. They had a lot of fun, but it wore them out.....we were there for 3 hours!




This is pretty funny... notice the pigs have a colored strip down their back.

Playing at Lagoon!

Our friends Mike & Jenise came down with their kids to go to Lagoon on Saturday. This was our first time going. The kids had a blast!

New Floor!

We've had white carpet in our living/dining room and with 4 kids it does not stay clean. Matt & I have talked about ripping the carpet up and putting in something else for quite a while. Here it is... We love it! Good thing I've got a handy (and cute) husband!!! Sometime in the future we want to put tile where the linoleum is and paint.

Just playing in the snow...in October!

It snowed on Sunday! The kids were excited to go out and play in it! In this picture Justin and Justice (his friend & neighbor) are burying Josh with snow.

Looking out our front door.

What was left of our snow today...the boys each made a snow man.

Josh & Jaren's younger days...
