Snow Day

Boden's Baby Shower Weekend

My dear neighbor Laura and my sweet friend Sara threw me a fabulous baby shower for little Boden. It was wonderful, complete with a photo booth and delicious food.  I'll scan the photo booth photos someday to the blog... My mom and Skye stayed and played for the weekend and helped me organize for the little man coming our way.  I can hardly wait! 

Halloween 2013

This Halloween was soo fun. I helped with our church party and we all dressed up. Canyon a pirate, Trek a wolf, Gary a nurse and me a forester (get it). We started out the festivities wit our church party and had a blast with carnival games and a chili cook-off. The next day was Halloween and Canyon dressed up for school. We went trick-or-treating that evening (our kids first year doing this) and the boys made out like bandits. Trek's candy was gone it about 4 days. Canyon sorted his into categories placed them in separate baggies and hid them in our nieces room for safe keeping.  He'll most likely have Halloween Candy for the next year. (Two completely different boys... wondering what #3 will be like.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visits From Gram

An October visit form Gram included a picnic, shopping, a soccer game, and pumpkin carving: We love visits from Gram.

 

Grandparents Day in First Grade

Grandma and Grandpa Kirkman came up a few weeks ago for Grandparents Day at Canyon's school. He was thrilled to have them and kept them there completing every project offered. The exhausted Grandparents and the elated 1st grader cut out a little early to enjoy a lunch with the whole family.

 

 

 

Just so I don't forget

After going to the bathroom, Trek kindly came out and said:
"Mama, I can learn you how to pee standing up. It's easy. Just lean over, but not too far so you don't fall in."

While eating dinner (that I cooked-that wasn't that great-which consisted of undercooked rice and over cooked vegetables and not very flavorful chicken) Canyon leaned over to me and said: "Mom, I have a secret to tell you, Dad is a better cook." After the words came out of his mouth and he realized that maybe that was a secret he should've told Gary not me his eyes got real big and didn't know what to say.  We all shared a good laugh.
