Lauren at the Trunk or Treat!

Tonight we went to our ward trunk or treat. Lauren was hilarious. Kristin made a chicken costume for her. She wore it well. She walked and ran like a chicken. Every now and again she would even say "bac bac bac". We think she even layed a couple eggs. Katelynd was a 50's Dancer, Lindsay was a witch, and Jake was a cowboy. They all had lots of fun seeing their friends dressed up.

Jason's Been Editing Photos

Jason Finally got some more photos edited for me to post. We found this barn in Chesterfield by Jason's school. It is located on a 10 acre parcel that is just next to Logan. The man who rents the home on the property said that it is going up forsale for 1.7 million dollars. It is an old estate passed down to children from the original owner. The barn is amazing.

I Love my Boys!

Halloween Preparations!

Well with 4 girls in the family you could of guessed this would be the most important halloween decor. Especially when mom can do it for us! The girls talked me into manicures and pedicures for Halloween. With stickers and glow in the dark nail polish they are ready to trick or treat. To bad it is in the 40's out here they will have to keep their little toesies covered.

The Big Camping Adventure

Well Katelynd finally went to 5th grade camp this last week. It has been long awaited. She was able to earn all of her money to pay for her camp. Lucky her she got to miss a whole week of school Lindsay was so jealous. They went to the Cuiver River State park in Troy, Missouri. Their camp included hikes, cave exploring, fishing, dissecting owl pellets (regurgitated hair balls), group games. I told her she was lucky because they had cabins to camp in and mess halls to eat in and bathrooms to pee in. I thought maybe by the end of the week she would have missed us but she said she didn't. She had lots of fun and met alot of new people. She was missed at home. One night Lindsay slept with a picture of Katelynd by her side on her pillow. That saying "can't live with them can't live without them" they can fight alot, but when their sister's gone they sure do miss them. Lindsay can't wait to go to camp next year. It is good to have Katelynd home. She's been a big helper!

Captain Help me put out the Fire!

Jake went to the Cottleville Fire Department today for a preschool field trip. He was able to touch the jaws of life, hold the fire hose, and set in their new fire truck. The captain geared up with everything on boots, gloves, mask, coat, helmet and breathing tank. Jake was so scared he wouldn't even touch him. We had a long discussion about why he shouldn't be afraid. That in a fire that is who you would see coming to save you if Mom and Dad couldn't. He told me he wanted me to save him!

Scooter Training!

Lauren decided she wants to be like the big kids. So she took over their scooter the other day. She worked so hard on getting up on the scooter but it just didn't work. But it sure did keep her entertained for awhile.

Nellena's Wedding

A few weeks ago I was able to fly out to Salt Lake to do Nellena's hair for her wedding. It was fun to get to visit with everyone. I really enjoyed going to the Bountiful Temple. It was my first time going to that temple. Thank you Nellena for flying my out. I was also able to visit with my sister Jill and her family before they left for France. It was a great little vacation for me.
