Family Fun Day-Halloween edition

Every so often when our family seems to be growing up way too fast Daniel and I feel the need to have a Family Fun Day.

This is where you cram as many fun activities all into one day.

This year school had to be cut a little early to help us squeeze it all in:)

We picked up the kids, put on their Halloween shirts from the neighbors, surprised them with a trip to the zoo, picked out pumpkins, decorated pumpkins, and ate cookies with grandma and grandpa.

Kinda perfect.

Luau in October?

sure,

you can do anything you want in Texas:)

College Day

College Day at school a few weeks ago.

First time it felt almost political:)

I had to tell the kids to answer "yes" if they were asked if they were Mormon:)

Kolby came home that day telling me that he wanted to go to UT and play football with the longhorns and that no one even knew BYU-I.

gulp.

sorry bud.

Olivia said, "Don't worry mom I'll still go to your school."

say aaaaaawwwww

Naomi had a 1st check up at the dentist.

Good thing the dentist is uncle Mark:)

We made it a family affair and took the kiddos out of school.

After we all had squeaky clean teeth we squeezed in a lunch at Whataburger and played the rest of the afternoon.

Can't wait for our next appointments!

Took a break from the usual hustle and bustle of errands and chores whilst the other 2 are at school.

The unmade bed and unfixed hair are swallowed up in the giggles and sunshine.

I love my Naomi girl!

the police are coming and daddy's going to jail!

Last Friday night was spent in a gas station parking lot listening to a woman yell and lie about crashing into my van. I started off being sweet and forgiving, despite the fact that the other driver was completely to blame. At one point the woman and Daniel began yelling at each other and she screamed that she wanted to call the police.

We said please do.

Then I looked over at Kolby who was balling.

He said, "the police are coming and daddy's going to jail!!!".

When all was said and done 2 hrs later, with no police present, the woman gave us cash and drove off.

I was feeling bitter towards the world in general.

Saturday night I helped my kids practice for the upcoming primary program.

ya, that got me singing a different tune.

I can always count on my kids to teach me what matters most.

Girls Rule!

In the last couple weeks I've made soccer ribbon ponytails for my daughter and nieces, sewed a flower headband, and dressed my girls up matchy matchy. Having girls is awesome!!! :)
