Keaton's black eye

During Thankgiving the kids were playing tag in the dark upstairs. Keaton, while hiding, hit his head on the foosball table giving himself a big black eye. He told everyone afterward that it makes him look tough. Later on when it was getting better and the bruising was going away he asked his sister to hit him in the eye again so he could continue looking like a tough guy.... we love you Keaton and the silly things you do.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving started out bright and early, first we got the turkey ready for cooking. Then Brandon tricked me in to going to a turkey bowl. It's my sister in-laws family that does it every year. All the kids seem to have fun. Our team won of course. Since Thanksgiving was at our house, I spent the majority of the day cooking and cleaning up. Brandon invited his brother Chris and his family over this year. Everything tasted great and it was an enjoyable evening.

Keaton's Thankgiving Feast

Keaton's class at school had a Thanksgiving feast full of Indians and Pilgrims.

Mason broke his Nose!

Mason broke his nose in PE class at school. They were playing dodge ball and was able to dodge the ball that was thrown at him but hit another player in the process. His nose collided with another kids head.

Needless to say he is going to have to go get it fixed this next week.

Happy Halloween

It's that time of season when all the ghosts and goblins come out. Mason and his friends decided to be rockers from the band Green Day. Brooklyn was the #1 Diva movie star. Keaton was a GI Joe character and Bridger was a little Dinosaur. The kids had a good time this halloween getting lots of candy at the trunk-or-treat and around the neighborhood. The kids also had fun carving up their pumpkins this year.

Keaton's Birthday!

Today is Keaton's big day...it's his birthday! When my kids have a birthday I try to make it all about them. Hopefully they'll look back on these days with fond memories. For lunch he wanted to go to sizzler. He got excited when we gave him his presents and to top it off they brought out a HUGE root beer float. Then at school they had a little party for him. Later that night family came over to celebrate with him. Keaton this year wanted a BSU and a cowboy theme, so we worked it out. The next day after school we took a few friends down to the BSU sub to bowl with him. Not sure if I'll do that again till their older! We love Keaton!!

Fish Fry!

Labor Day Weekend
We decided at the last minute to take one final camping trip as a family. We wanted to make it more of a fishing trip this time. We camped at Red Fish, but drove to Deadwood Reservoir for the day to fish. The kids caught some great fish and they tasted delicious. The next day we spent it at the beach playing in the water and taking in the sun one more time.

My big Kindergartner!

My big 5th grader!

My Big 8th grader!

Mason and Brooklyn rule there schools this year. And my baby boy started school! He missed the cut off last year so he was ready and so excited to start school. Bridger on the other hand was not ready to lose his buddy... there was lots of tears when we left. I can't believe how big they're all getting!

Dad's Birthday

We all celebrated my Dad's birthday in the park this past week. It was a good BBQ. Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!

Camping at Red Fish

We went camping at Redfish a couple weeks ago and as always it was great. We did get rained on one of the nights and part of the morning, while we were there but other than that it was a great time. We camped with some friends up there and we all had a great time. Thanks Becks!
