SCHOOL CARNIVAL

CARNIVAL

My SIL just found out she's pregnant and has been so ill she ended up in the emergency room the other day, so we thought we'd give them a little break from the kids for a bit and took their two older ones with us to our school carnival. The kids had a ton of fun having cousins with them! It really was a great time!

GENERAL CONFERENCE

Tyler did some work in the kitchen and made a thing. It was a bright rainbowy thing and tasted delicious. Not pictured was another thing he made. It was gross. Haha. He attempted a rootbeer float jello. Yuck. Ty liked it ... no one else did. Haha. But we decided Tyler has made a new wonderful tradition. Rainbow Jello for General Conference. And he did just a good job, he gets to make it! Yum!

JADEN AND HOLLY

My kids love these two. Living in the same house as Jaden means the kids get to spend a lot more time with them. They watched Hocus Pocus with us!

CRYSTAL

Crystal got off the bus today with colored hair! She thought it would be fun to use washable marker to color her hair on the way home from school. Oy Vey. I let her keep it for a day and then made her wash it out. 

SEPTEMBER ADVENTURES: LABOR DAY

I was horrible about taking pictures on our labor day weekend adventures. We went to Ty's parents property and spent the day there Saturday. The kids went up with Grandma and Grandpa the night before, so we thought the drive there would be pleasant. Well the dog thinks the slippery console is his spot in the car so even though he had the whole back seat to himself he insisted on sitting in between Ty and I the whole way there! Haha.

We had a lot of fun! We made tin foil dinners for lunch, played on the four wheelers, went fishing and played in the Pedal boat! We also found a strange looking bug... one of the only things I took a picture of all day. haha. It's hard to see in the picture but we had a beautiful view of the Tetons while on the four wheeler!

Monday we went to the baseball game! We had tickets for the credit union suite which is the best way to watch the game. My kids can watch cable tv when they are tired of the game so I can actually stay for the whole game! Haha. 

SEPTEMBER ADVENTURES: RANDOM PICTURES

Jay's picture made it on the board at Garcia's so he got a free kid's meal! One time a long long time ago one of the kids had a foot long french fry to which I of course took a picture of. Ever since then every time Jay gets a large fry he begs me to take a picture. Lol. We have had some absolutely beautiful sunsets this month. I love Idaho sunsets!!! There are a million praying mantises out where we are building our house. We naturally want to take a picture every time we see one, but I'm thinking the coolness may wear off soon. Lol. And last but not least, it is zucchini season so my parents come home to strange things taped to the mailbox or left on the front porch.

SEPTEMBER ADVENTURES: JUICING APPLES

We juiced a kajillion apples at Ty's parents house. I think we have enough juice to last us a few years at least. Haha. A lot of people came to help and brought apples of their own as well. It was a good time! We brought pears as well and made some delicious pear juice! Yum!
