after math

here we are a few days after an exciting halloween holiday. The kids really haven't had too much candy and elle has actually taken her afternoon nap.(she thinks she's too big for naps now) they still talk about their pumpkin and elle talks about how she is a princess. As for cale and I we are catching up on some much needed rest. Trey had a great time at the preschool trunk or treat. They both had a blast at the community center's trunk or treat they loved bouncing in the bounce house. We got there early and they were able to bounce for awhile before a line formed. Now it's time to get rid of all the candy and start thinkin' about thanksgiving plans. wow time is flying by fast!!!

scraped noses

We have been busy the past couple of weeks and so we decided to have a nice relaxing weekend. We started it off by sleeping in on saturday and then we went to the car show to support cale's dad who had his truck entered. He won 1st place in his division. This is the second year in a row, he's on a roll!!!
We then took out trey's little truck and pulled out the 4 wheeler, artic cat and the john deer and trey, cale, elle and grandpa w. all raced up and down the street. It's was really cute. Elle had a little accident over the weekend. She fell on her little bike and scrapped up her nose. At first she looked like rudolph the red nose reindeer. The swelling went down but she is still left with quite the scrapped up nose. We played and played outside until we were all tired. The weather was beautiful.
Grandpa and grandma made pirate hats for the kids out of newspapers and they played cards and elle put lip gloss all over our faces.(that was not easy to get off.) it was such a nice weekend and much needed. We are slowly getting ready for halloween. Elle has her little belle princess dress and we haven't figured out what trey is going to be. We get to do a trunk or treat with trey's preschool class the thursday right before halloween and then we are going to go to the trunk or treat that the community center is putting on for halloween night. I'm really excited i think the kids will have a blast and hopefully get into the spirit. this is elle passed out in her princess dress.

burrrrrrr...........

wow the days have gone from 90 degrees to 64 degrees all within a matter of days. i've decided that i really like the beginning of fall just when it starts to get chilly in the mornings. It gives me a reason to cuddle longer with cale and he can't say he's too hot!!! hehehe. It's nice to have the days not be sooooooooooo hot but i'm not sure i'm ready for the cold weather to come either. I'm not ready for the kids to be sick, or night time to come so quickly. why can't it stay nice? you know not too hot and not cold. oh well. On a positive note it's closer to the holidays, i get to start making hot chocolate and we get to take the artic cat out more! woo hoo!! :)

a ride for ryder

it's ryder's birthday this weekend and he wanted to go out on the artic cat for a ride. so we took him out and here are a few pictures they are taken with my phone camera and so they aren't very good. Trey is also an excellent driver in his little silver truck. He's been taken elle around in the back and has been super careful. he even had a race with cale and elle. the boys in the back of the artic cat.

fun weekend

We're back from our weekend in price. we had a ton of fun and it was so great to see daniel again. he hasn't changed that much just a little taller and older. the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. They jumped on the trampoline until they could barely move. they had a ton of fun chasing the cats and playing with the big dump trucks. A balloon and sticky balls kept trey elle codi and zack well entertained and we were all entertained by them. We spent some time down at the dino park. zack, trey and elle would do trains down the slides with their aunt paula and uncle brandon. we even spent some time in the garden. trey and elle thought it was so much fun to pick carrots wash them off with the hose and eat them. they were such big helpers picking carrots potatoes, beans, and tomatoes with grandma and grandpa. my parents had about 4 pumpkins and my mom told trey that he could have one so yesterday that's all he could think about was picking his pumpkin. So before we left my dad took him out back and they picked a pumpkin. on the way home he held it on his lap until he fell asleep and then i moved it. But once he woke up he picked it back up and held it until we got home. It was great to see my grandparents and my aunts and uncles. I can't believe how grown up all my little cousins have gotten. What a great weekend we had. Thanks mom and dad for everything! we love you guys!

Price, here we come

We are heading up to Price this weekend for the first time in well lets just say it's been awhile. Daniel my brother is coming home in 2 days from his mission i can't believe how fast time flies. When he left Elle was only a month old and trey was 15 months now they are 2 and 3 this is before he left and this is what the kids look like now. what a difference 2 years makes.
we're excited to visit price and spend some time with my whole family (with the exception of my sister Raquel, She's on a mission in Rio De Janeiro) We don't get up there too often, and it's even harder to get us all together seeing how there are 9 kids in my fam. we sure do have lots of fun when we are all together. a couple of visits ago we went to the park by the wave pool and played in a huge pile of leaves what a blast that was!!!
Here's to a weekend full of kicks and giggles!!
