Halloween Costumes Finished (sort of)

We had a halloween carnival tonight at the church, so this morning I realized that I needed to get the costumes made for my boys. I think they turned out ok. Most people could tell what they were (I think) or else they were just being polite. Either way Samuel was thrilled to wear his green jellyfish. George didn't really like wearing his so much - but that wasn't a surprise. He hates anything on his head. oh well.




I think I will try to modify George's a little so that he likes it on his head.

Wonderful Fall Weather

Saturday was a perfect autumn day. I had my booth at the Farmer's Market and had a good day. Jim brought the boys over to say hi, eat yummy pizza, and play at the park.

Wedding Reception

After the great party on Friday we met Jim in Salt lake for my good friend Juliana's wedding reception. It was so fun to see her and catch up with other friends that I haven't seen for a while. Juliana was my first room mate in college and a wonderful friend.


It has been hard to see each other since our lives have gotten so busy, but every time I am with her it is like we haven't been apart at all. She is wonderful and I am so happy for her. She was a beautiful bride! I loved chatting with my other good friend LeeAnn as well.



I feel fortunate to have met such wonderful people in my college days. We have had some good times.

Halloween/Birthday Party

This past Friday we headed up to Bountiful for the annual Halloween/Birthday Party for Kyle that Grandma Moss puts on. The kids all had a great time as usual. It is always fun to be with cousins, run around, and make noise.

I had seen these

on the Family Fun website and thought they would be fun. They were a hit. And so easy to make too.

George was sure happy.


Laurelee and cousin Karolann - so cute!


Kyle the birthday boy.


Look at all these boys!

Grandma Moss sure knows how to throw a good party.

Adventures in Pumpkinland

Today I took the boys to Pumpkinland with my cousin and her son. The boys had such a great time walking around the corn maze, playing on the bouncy toys, looking at the animals (George especially liked this) and playing with Parker. It was such a perfect day to be outside too! A big thank you to Rachelle who invited us to go with her. I think it will have to be an annual tradition now.





I think George looks so grown up in this picture - walking by himself in the corn field. He absolutely loved just walking around.

The Photographer

Lately Samuel has been very interested in taking pictures. I figured I would let him take a few pictures (aren't digital cameras great). He took some pictures of our fish tank and I think some of them are pretty cool. What I thought was really neat is that he took pictures of stuff I have never seen before because they are taken from his point of view.

Like the underside of this large piece of coral - pretty neat.

And some great angles of the fish and other coral.

This Never Happens

Yesterday George skipped his morning nap. He played hard for most of the day and by the time he sat down to eat an afternoon snack (or early dinner) this is what happened. Anyone who has been around George knows that he is ALWAYS moving. I couldn't believe my eyes when I came back into the kitchen after stepping into the other room briefly and saw him asleep in his chair. He must have been REALLY tired.
