Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was so fun. Lincoln and Logan for so excited to dress up and go trick or treating. They had a busy Halloween. Friday night we had our ward trunk or treat and they got tons of candy. It was fun to come home and watch their faces light up when they dumped out their candy and they saw how much they really got.

Halloween day they got to dress up and go to lunch with their grandma Lulu. Lincoln dressed up as Batman and Logan was a pirate. Later that day we headed to Springville to have a little Halloween party with my family. Michael was sick that day so he missed out on all the festivities.

The kids had fun getting wrapped in toilet paper to look like mummies. Each adult took one kid and helped them get all wrapped up. Then we had a contest to see whose was the best.

Lincoln got lucky and had uncle Sheldon and his girlfriend Lolly wrap him up. Logan did not want to participate.

The best part of the mummy game was ripping off the tp and throwing the tp at grandpa! You can see from the picture all the tp fibers in the air it was a crazy mess, but way fun.

The boys also had tons of fun helping grandma rack up leaves, running through them, jumping in the piles and throwing them at each other.

A Halloween tradition in my family is to have dinner in a pumpkin. It is the best, and even better is my boys really like it too! This picture isn't the best but gives you an idea of what it is.

When it was trick or treat time everyone got their costumes on. Lincoln and Logan were lucky this year, they got to have two costumes. Lincoln was a alligator and Logan was a dinosaur (with a mustache, he didn't want me to wash it off!) Lance was the cutest little lion ever. He never complained being in the costume, he was a good sport.


Here is all the kids dressed up.

Home for sale!

Many of you already know, but for those who don't we just put are house up for sale. I would love for everyone to pass the word around to those you know who might be looking for a home to buy. We have loved it here and we love our townhome, but it is time for us to move on. We are pretty anxious to get our home sold! This is a perfect house for a couple buying their first home, for a small family or for an investment property. Let me know if you have any questions.

Zoo

Mon-Thurs Lincoln is in school and is away from home for 4 hours, so getting out and doing something that might take all day and that doesn't run into nap time usually doesn't happen. So every Friday I try and take the boys some where fun, we also have playgroup that day. I have been asked to over see playgroup in our ward which is fun for me because I love to plan activities. For playgroup on October 16 we went to the zoo. It was so fun to see all the new baby animals. We had some of our friends who used to live by us come and we had a great time. Havalah also got to come and she was an angel the whole time! I just love her!

I have the cutest neighbor ever!

We live in the best neighbor's ever. I just love living here and it will be sad the day we have to move. My boys adore our neighbor Heather. They love to play with her son Gavin. Logan will ask me several times a day what is Heather doing, where is Heather, I want to play with Heather. I am sure he would rather have her as his mom, she is much more fun!! I just love her to death, so makes my life so much easier. She is always taking the boys and doing fun things with them. She has a membership to Thanksgiving Point and the Living Planet Aquarium so they go there often. Lately she has done some really cute, fun things with them. She loves to take the boys on walks through our neighborhood to look at the Halloween decorations. Just the other day she came over dressed up as a witch and read the boys Halloween books, while they snacked on ghost poop (mini marshmallows)!

Lincoln loves to go and play dressed up at her house

Engh's Nursery

On October 9th we went with some friends in our neighborhood to Engh's Nursery. They have the cutest little area there where they are selling their pumpkins. There are tons of places to take fun holiday photos, a kiddie corn maze, and a little pirate ship for the kids to play on. My boys had a great time!








I took this group picture 10 times trying to get the perfect pictures. But it is almost impossible to get that many kids, that young to look at the camera at the same time and smile!! So I just chose the one where my boys were at least looking at some what at the camera! What a fun group of kids my boys have to play with.

Logan 2 1/2 years old

I have been wanting to do a post about Logan for over 6 months now. I never got around to blogging about his 2nd birthday, which I feel really bad about. I did a post for Lincoln, but not Logan. So one day when he is old enough and looks at this, I want him to know how much we love him.

Where do I start to tell you a little about Logan. The word WOW comes to mind!! He is our little firecracker kid. For those of you who spend anytime around him know exactly what I am talking about! He has a very strong, free spirit about him. He is just an amazing kid. When he turned 2 he was speaking at a 3 year old level. He amazes us everyday with the things he is learning. He loves to ride his bike and the faster he can go the better. He loves to wrestle with Lincoln and make Lance laugh. He definitely is our most trying boy and his strong personality at times and be very challenging. We love him to death and at other I want to ship him away. He is just the cutest little toe head ever and I hope the blond hair never goes away. Logan loves to do whatever I am doing, whether it is the dishes, laundry or cooking he is always helping me (well that is what he thinks he is doing, for me it is a test of my patience and me trying really hard to be a good mom by letting him stir the food even though it is always messier with his help).


Everytime I tell him to smile for the camera this is the smile I get!!

Wheeler Farm

Last Friday we went to Wheeler Farm with some new friends we just made a few weeks ago. We had tons of fun getting to know Michelle and her 2 1/2 year old son, Landon.
My boys instantly became best friends with Landon and Michelle. Michelle is so fun, we just have tons to talk about with each other. We meet them at the park about 2/3 weeks ago and it was funny how are names where similar and that she also had a little boy whose name started with an "L". What is even more crazy is that I really wanted to name Lance Landon but Michael didn't. Anyways here are a few pictures from our day at the farm!
