Pumpkin Carving

So here is our night of pumpkin carving. Delton and I decided to

buy one of those pumpkin carving kits. We thought we would see

how good they worked and maybe Keegan would be

able to use it too. Cameron thought it was great to

get his hands all dirty in the pumpkin guts. Keegan still

hates to clean out the pumpkin but he did a pretty good job.

Cameron is still cheesing it up with the camera and

Keegan is pretty proud of his clean out job.

Keegan was in such deep concentration. He drew

his own face on the pumpkin and he basically

carved out 95% of the face.

He did a great job and he was so happy

he did it all himself.

Cameron had to help Mommy with his pumpkin.

Keegan was never really interested in the pumpkins

when he was little but Cameron is the complete opposite.

He had to be right in there with me. He kept taking the

puncher and poking into all the cuts I already did.

He kept him happy and it worked.

Like father like son, Delton is in deep concentration too.

The kit we bought had alot of different patterns that you can try.

So Keegan picked out the ones he wanted us to carve into

our pumpkins. Delton ended up doing the wolf one and I

did that cross bones.

So here is out finished projects!! YEAH...every year I

swear I am not carving something different and I still

do it. It takes me twice as long as Delton but I still do it.

So the pumpkins go as follows...just in case you can't tell...

(starting left to right) Delton = Howling Wolves

Amber = Skull and crossbones

Keegan = Toothy Grin

Cameron = Happy Pumpkin

This is our attempt at trying to get a good picture

with the lights off. Good enough right?

One last try at a good picture. We had a blast. The kids

where way excited and even though Cameron tuckered out

before Delton and I started on ours, Keegan was our cheering section.

He kept walking back and forth between Delton and I telling us

"Good Job" and "You need to be careful" and "That looks great".

So it was a fun filled night and pumpkins can be annoying but too fun

to sit out.

Central Halloween Carnival

On Saturday it was Keegan's turn to show off
his school. It was time for his Halloween Carnival! He was so excited to show Cora and Alexa his classroom, where he has recess and all of the other exciting places in his school. We decided to go ahead and walk to the carnival as we waited for The LaRue's and Bri. My boys are just too cute...all 3 of them! Keegan got a cold so he had to be way bundled up.

I finally got some pictures of Cameron with his hood up. He hates it so much he is always pulling the hood off. So here you can finally get a picture of his total costume.

I like the gold "flames" coming out of the nose. At least it is toasty warm for him. He got to fish for prizes and he didn't want to give up the fishing pole.

Keegan and Alexa had a ball playing this game. They both did really well. I was suprised at Keegan. He isn't the most coordinated and throwing a ball isn't a strong trait of his but he got all of the balls in the bucket but one. GO KEEGAN!!! Maybe he will be able to do t-ball next year. Overall the carnival was a success and everyone came over after to have dinner at our house. I know our house is on the small side but I love having everyone there. It just makes it that much cozier!

Burton's Halloween Carnival

So on Friday night we were able to go have some fun with The LaRue's. Cora and Alexa's school was having their Halloween Carnival. The kids were beyond excited. They got to get dressed in their costumes and go have a night of fun games. As you can see Keegan was a pirate and Cameron was a dragon. Alexa was a fairy, Cora was a china girl and Kenzie was a pea in a pod. Delton was just a Daddy!!

These pictures are of Cameron and Keegan having a face off in tic-tac-toe. I was just a helper, I didn't sway Cameron at all...hehe. It was a draw though. Cameron had fun throwing the pumpkins and then he cried because he wanted to take them with him. It was fun though.

Cheesy grins

So here are just some fun pictures that we took last night. Cameron kept pointing to the camera and doing his cheesy grin, so I figured while he was cheesing it up might as well take some pics. Cameron also has a thing about putting buckets on his head. So had to capture that and Keegan was having fun just doing his thing. It's very rare when I get both of them at the same time wanting to have their picture taken. Also Delton was in on it, which is another rarity. So we had some fun. And of course I had to add Gabby into the picture fun!

Angels

I love how you learn things through your children. It makes me smile anytime Keegan or Cameron does something or say something that is innocent. On Saturday, Keegan comes up to me and says "You have been kissed by an angel Mommy" "How is that", I said. "It's your freckles, Mommy. They are angel kisses and you have been kissed ALOT!" I just had to laugh. It was too cute. So now I have a new reason why people get freckles. You get kissed by angels.

Weekend Fun

So this weekend wasn't too exciting. Delton had to work so I hung out with Heather for a little bit on Saturday and then Braxon and Brogan came over to spend the night. We had to deliver some "Boo" treats to 2 people and you are suppose to be sneaky about it. Well we thought it would be fun for all the boys just to do it. They had a BLAST!! They thought it was great to be able to door bell ditch and not get in trouble for it. So we did that with them and then watched Speed Racer and then on Sunday it was just hanging out. We went shopping for Keegan and Cameron's halloween costumes. So Keegan is going to be a Pirate and Cameron is a Dragon. So that was fun. Cameron doesn't know what to think of all the scary things but he is getting a little better. We can actually walk down the Halloween areas without him chaking his head "No" the whole time. Halloween is going to be interesting this year with him. It is going to be fun watching him react to all the kids dressed up.

Past Weekend

So Cora got baptized last weekend and everyone came up to see it. It was alot of fun. On Friday Delton, me and the boys drove down to Salt Lake to pick up my mom and dad. It gave is some alone time with them which was fun. Then it was up early for the baptizism and a lucheon with ALL of the family. That was interesting but the kids had fun. It started snowing so that was a treat for everyone. We then went and hung out with My mom and dad, Bri, Delton, the boys, Heather, Ken and the girls and Dee. We went to the mall and had a fanastic dinner at this Great steakhouse called Stockman's. Sunday was church day and then a little lunch at Heather's and then Heather, Bri and her family took Mom and Dad back down to Salt Lake. The ended up leaving a little earlier than expected since it was snowing and they were worried about the roads. Overall it was a great weekend and I am glad I got to spend so much time with my Mom and Dad. I miss them and I try and treasure any minute that we are together. Hopefully we can get some sort of schedule down so we can see each other more freguently. I love my family. As crazy as it can be, I still love them!!!

My new play toy

So here is our new car. I LOVE it!!! It is an Envoy XL and it has the 3rd seat which is great. For the kids it also has the DVD player which Keegan thinks is the most fantastic thing! We are having fun with it and we get to take it on a little road trip already...we are picking up Grandma and Papa in Salt Lake City this weekend. Cora is getting baptized and everyone...I mean everyone is going to be there. So Heather is stressing as usual (I still love her though...it's just what we do when companyis coming) and Cora is getting excited for her weekend. All of Ken's family will be here too so Cora is happy that all of her grandparents will be there to see her get baptized. Besides that life is just good for us. We had a fun time at Cora's birthday party last night. Keegan, Aunt Bri and I got to be judges for a PJ fashion party. It was just alot of fun. Delton isn't going to England, they decided to cancel the trip so all that worry over nothing. For me though, I am kind of happy...;) Now I don't have to be bummed about not going. So maybe next year. It's getting colder here and all of the leaves are turning and I love it. We need to hurry and get our fall drive in and hopefully get some good pics. So maybe next time I can post those.

Play Time

Just some playful pictures of the boys.

A Day of Fishing

This was about 2 or 3 weeks ago but I thought I would try and get some recent pictures on here. We went up to Conant Creek to take the kids fishing. Cora, Alexa, Kenzie, Heather and Ken came with us. We all had a blast. Keegan ended up falling in the creek and to this day we still don't know how he did it. The kids had more fun wading in the FREEZING creek than fishing but it was still fun. After fishing we went to go feed the fish and once again it brought smiles to all.
