Swim Fun

While we were in Cali for Mimi's funeral, the weather decided to grace us with GREAT temps. A little warm for what we were use to, but the kids loved it! Grandma and Papa was nice enough...THANK YOU THANK YOU...to get the pool heater going, just to take the chill out of the pool. The kids couldn't wait to get in the pool. So here are some of the highlights of the swimming experience.

Getting ready for Halloween

Our Halloween this year was a little different. We got our house all set and ready for Halloween.

Keegan had fun helping me figure out the saying for our tombstones! Then of course we had to play dead next to his.

Then about a week and a half before Halloween my Grandma had a major stroke and passed away a week later. So So we had the priviledge of spending Halloween with Grandma and Papa in California.
The kids had a blast in the nice warm weather (it was 90!!.) We got to pick pumpkins in a Cali pumpkin patch.



Then we carved the pumpkins with Grandma and Papa. I don't have the finished product since the picture was taken with Papa's camera. Let me tell you though, all of the pumpkins turned out GREAT!


Grandma and Papa's ward had a HUGE truck or treat with a dinner that we went too. It was a complete and total success. The kids got a TON of candy and just had some good ole fun doing it.



Then we took them to our old haunting ground in Arcadia and did a little more trick or treating. We didn't last too long since babies were getting tired and mommy's and daddy's were getting tired too.


Overall I think Halloween was a big success. We had fun just being with my mom and dad even though it wasn't under the best of circumstances.

School Carnival

On Saturday Keegan's school hosted their annual Halloween Carnival and the boys were so excited to finally put on their costumes.

Keegan is Ghost Rider this year. He has fallen in LOVE with the movie and just had to be him for Halloween. The mask didn't quite work for him so I tried my hand at face painting. I think I did a pretty good job being the first time I have ever face painted. Well Keegan was proud of how he looked so that is all that matters.


It took forever to decide on what Cameron was going to be. At first he wanted to be Thomas the Train, then it was Sponge Bob and when I couldn't find the costumes I had no idea what to do. Well Old Navy pulled through and I found a few that I liked. So I had Cameron pick one out and of course he didn't want any of them. So I over ruled and picked the tiger. He LOVES it. He has been begging to wear it since we had brought it home.


I thought I would see how he would do with face paint before Halloween came. Well he sat through the whole thing without any complain and he barely even touched his face throughout the night. He was such a champ! When I had to wash it off that night, he was quite sad. "No more Rah Rah Mama" he kept telling me.


Heather and the girls meet us there and they all had a blast. Heather made the girls vampire costumes and I think she did a GREAT job! GO HEATHER!!!!


Delton helped out while I took the pictures. They had to try their hand at the cupcake walk and luck was not on our side. None of the kids got one. Oh well there is always next year right?


Overall the kids had a blast as usual. Both the boys didn't want to take their costumes off or even wash their make up off. But we finally got them all cleaned up with the promise of doing it all over again in a few days!

The Fair

Another tradition that I have come to adopt, which means Delton has adopted it too is going to the Eastern Idaho State Fair. I love just going. So off we were to the fair.

Both Cameron and Keegan had a blast on this "train". Keegan was in the lady bug and Cameron had the goose. The kid who was driving the four wheeler that pulled the train gave the kids a great ride. There were laughs all around.

The petting zoo has become a #1 place to stop with the boys. Cameron went right on in and had no problem feeding the goats. Keegan has become Mr. Independant with the animals. He doesn't want my help anymore and he kind of goes off on his own. It's actually quite cute but at the same time a little sad.



When we walked past these bears, Keegan just had to get all the info on them. Cameron wasn't too sure about them. Once we spent a few minutes near them and he realized that they weren't real, he was ok to pose by them. So this is my boys being bears! Not very convincing is it? LOL

The next place we have come to learn there is not getting out of it, is the fairway. The boys are loving it now! Keegan is getting big enough that he can ride the bigger "kiddie" rides and he loves it. Cameron of course wants to go on anything Keegan does so it was a little disappointing for him when he couldn't. He still had a lot of fun on his rides.


Keegan remembered the slide from last year, so that was a have to ride for him. He just loves going down it.



Delton and Cameron just enjoyed all the sights and sounds of the fairway. You can just tell that they are having a good time. We all were.

So at the end of the day, we hit the food court of course. I had to have a funnel cake and Delton had his carmel apples. The boys just munched on ours along with their cotton candy. Yum Yum We were going to go and look through some more but the boys were about done and I was too. Being pregnant at the fair took its toll on me and I was ready to go sit down somewhere. I wish I had the energy to stay but I didn't so we decided to go on home. It was a good day and full of many memories! Can't wait to go next year. :)

It's a Boy!!

I know this isn't really "new" news but I just had to put it on here and Baby #3 needs his pictures posted too. I don't want him to feel left out. hehe Anyways, so about a month ago we found out that we were having another boy. At first the doc couldn't get a very good shot of him, but soon enough he decided not to be shy anymore and there he was in all of his glory! Keegan is excited to have another brother and Cameron is still thinking that there is a monster in my tummy. So it will be interesting to see what will happen when the baby is born and it's not a monster. :) We have no idea what to name this one. All the names I keep coming up with Delton is not liking. So that is why I am still refering to him as Baby #3. Sad huh? So we will see, hopefully one day soon we can agree on a name.

I know these aren't the greatest ultra sound pictures and I am hoping everyone will be able to tell what they are, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. :)
This pic is showing us his goodies. He is sitting on the camera and his bum is to the right of the picture. The long white straight thing that is near the middle left is his leg and if you look just above the leg and near his bum (kind of near the middle of the pic), you will see his peepee. :)


This one is of his face. His eyes are to the left of the pic and he is holding his fist up near his mouth. So his arm is coming from the right of the pic.


Good luck in trying to make it all out!!

It's Snowing!!

So we had our first real snow fall for the season and it is still coming down. I LOVE it and the boys love it too. They woke up first thing this morning and wanted to go straight outside and play. So once we got breakfast down and all bundled up, out we went.

Gabby just had fun running her nose through the snow. She was like a minature snow plow.

Cameron wasn't quite sure in the beginning, he just slowly walked through the snow trying to keep the snow off his face. It was pretty funny. Once he got the hang of the snow in his eyes, off he went.

Keegan started right off with throwing snowballs at Gabby. She would just try and catch them or run around Keegan having a blast.

Cameron enjoyed just throwing the snow up in the air and letting it fall on Gabby or himself. Gabby just kept running back and forth between Keegan and Cameron, trying to lick the snow off their gloves.

They are all ready to go out again but they need to warm up, have some lunch and then more than likely we will be outside once again playing and maybe a snowman will be built.
