Reason's Why I Don't Blog

These are the reason's that my blog is probably alot less intersting than all of yours. And what happened in my life this last week!
1. Monday- No School, all the kids were home today and I had three appointments to be at. The house is totally wrecked. We went to the museum in IF for family night and afterwards took the kids to Leatherby's (a fun ice cream place) that was fun!

2. A visit to the Chiropractor/Message Therapist that lasted 2 1/2 hours followed by Kade and Mckenna's dentist appointment in Idaho Falls. Final result - Kade has to have 4 siler caps put on all 4 molars because they came in without enamel and are breaking down. (this will be done in the hospital Dec. 11) Mckenna has to have 3 teeth extracted on Dec. 3 (Merry Christmas!!)

3. Wednesday - Not a bad day, actually went to the story hour at the library with Colton and Carson! House is still a disaster.

4. Thursday - Had a good visit with Ty & Amanda followed by a trip to town for groceries, getting pulled over for speeding and Colton asking if I was going to jail, violin lessons, home teaching with Jeremy for 20 min. and next off to Pack Meeting!

5. Friday - Kade had an appointment with Dr. Morales in Idaho Falls followed by a few errands. The doctor said it is looking like Kade will have to undergo a surgery in the future that entails having a halo (piece of metal screwed into his skull that will help is bite, long story) Good news is I have time to do some research and hopefully find another alternative to this operation. Keep him in your prayers! And now instead of watching TV with Jeremy I am writing on this blog.

6. I do have pictures to download that I took last weekend of the kids doing their work outside and have fun at the same time but my camera is in the car and after my week I am too lazy to go get it. My house is really really bad destroyed!!!

I hope you enjoy reading the boring blog and hopefully I will have more energy to get the pictures downloaded soon.

The Night! or Better Yet the WEEK!

I always remember Halloween being just a one night deal when I was a kid, you went up and down the street trick or treating, got lots of candy, and came home. Now days you have drug awareness week at school the same week as halloween! So they dress up everyday and of course wait until the last minute in the morning to try and find that something special that they were going to use. Then you have a church party sometime during the week that you dress up for, and then again for the big night! Kade had so many opportunities to dress up that he was able to be both things he wanted and didn't have to make a decision. This year was the first year that we didn't spend it together. Quinton was invited to go with a friend, and of course that is soooo..... much cooler than going with your mom! Mckenna was also invited to go with some friends for a alnighter sleepover party. Jeremy went to the temple and my mom and I took Kade, Colton, and Carson out on the town. Carson picked up on the whole candy thing and was excited to go to each new house, unless there was spooky music, or scary people by the door! Colton had fun for a little while, then dicided that home is a nice place to be. And you guessed it, Kade could have gone all night!! We had fun and I'm glad it is over. We had a fun family party also with the Hall side of the family on Saturday night. So we dressed up again (only this time it was fun for me too) and played games, ate good food, and have a great time with family. We of course missed Dan and Suzanned who are always the life of the party, but we managed to laugh plenty(hope they make it next year!). We hope all had a great halloween!!

AHHHH!! The Halloween Bliss

Probably just like everyother family, we carved pumpkins last night for FHE. It was my first mistake to buy a carving kit with really hard stencils to carve, because Quinton and Kade picked the hardest ones. And to my surprise Jeremy did a pretty good job on Kade's. Quinton however is not finished yet and will try again tonight. Colton would not stick his hand in the pumpkin and touch any of the seeds or guts, but Carson had the time of his life he loved it. All in all it was alot of fun, even to Jeremy's dismay of having to do this activity!

SURPRISE!!

I bet all of you are very surprised to see that I actually have a blog. Yes, Marci, I have done it and it's not so bad. I am just learning and it may take a while for me to figure this all out but I love reading all of your blogs so much that I thought I better join in so you can see my family. Just a quick update on our clan. Quinton is now 11 yrs old and in 6th grade, yes, I am that old. Quinton loves playing tackle football, he plays the trombonein the band and so far has good grades to boot. Mckenna is 10 yrs old and in the 5th grade. She loves school and her friends, she is playing the piano and violin and seems to like everything except the practicing! Kade is 7 yrs. old and in the 2nd grade. He loves his teacher and as always the class clown and loves to make people smile. He will have his appointment with Dr. Morales (plastic surgeon) in November and we are hoping all is still okay with his bone graph. He also just started playing the piano this last month. Colton is now 4 and still trying to figure out the whole bathroom thing but my hopes are high! He loves to play games and wrestle with his dad and big brothers. Carson is 2 1/2 and the biggest ham ever. He is the baby of the family and seems to know it, cries whenever he is hurt or just wants attention. But his is a happy boy. As for Jeremy and I we are just trying to keep up with them, our church callings, work, and family callings! We love being parents and just hope we are doing a good enough job at it that our kids grow up knowing Heavenly Fathers loves them and that we love them, and hope that with that they can make good choices. Peace out for now! I might try this again in a couple of weeks or days or whenever I might get 5 minutes to spare!
