Mom, lets do crafts.


D always wants to do crafts. I dont blame her. thank goodness for Pinterest. I saw htese type of things done on soup cans but have like 50 empty formula cans in the garage waiting to be used for something. So we made a turkey and little turkeys for the door. Note : the turkeys on the door she glued and drew faces. Some are happy and some are sad. not sure why.. but they ALL have lots of good in their tummies.


she thought this was awesome and did a puppet show!


these were from halloween. Love the bat - thought it was cute.


we also did jack-o-lanterns and she wanted to do the footprint ghosts that she saw on the Halloween Barney last year. They turned out pretty cute!




on a side note here are my cute boys!

anytime this camera comes out Mr. C gets the cheesiest grin! 











this is Tom and I's favorite face by mr. k. a little smirk!




oh and this happened when changing colts diaper... just bought these new straw cups and was so excited about them. then I saw all that water coming out of that little hole thats open when the straw is up. How dumb. 





ps Tom started coaching last week... i think it was last week. i cant remember. Last week was the longest week ever. 

these days have been the longest ever.

cant wait till coaching is over. oh wait. thatll be in June. 

is it summer vacation yet?

Lost Pictures

We didnt get ANY pictures of our halloween! Im so mad at myself. this is when i wish i had a smart phone where i could take pics and upload them online. So annoying. Anyways...

around 4 that day we went over to the elementary school in Riddle where Tom teaches. His Leadership class was putting on the haunted house there and helping around with the activities. It took awhile for D to warm up but the funny thing is... once she went through the haunted house (which was actually pretty scary from what i heard - she went through and told the zombies to "shoo! shoo!" haha. But everyone said it was awesome!

Anyways there was a cake walk that D won once and she picked out day old doughnuts ... gross. but they had frosting on them. Oh well! she was happy. She also got lots of candy and bubbles. ALso a new pencil that she now is obsessed with. She has been drawing nonstop.

(this is a picture of daddy (and mommy on his side?) and notice his stomach with food inside. She has been watching some Magic School Bus on netflix and she is always asking about our bloodstream. haha. Maybe she will be a dr...


she wanted to draw our family so i helped out and she had to do faces. notice blue face for daddy and kemp who have blue eyes and brown face for us with brown eyes! 



i saw thi sone and i was like "what is this?" she said "ohhh thats me and im sad and crying"

and notice she likes to draw arms out of their head. haha might need to work on that.



ANyways - tom had to stay behind and help with the festival so we came back and went trick or treating down town. our town is so small that all the downtown stores close early and hand out candy. EVERYONE - hundreds and hundreds of people walk up and down main street in their costumes. Its pretty nice actually and D made out with a good load of candy. Its definitely different though since nobody really does door to door trick or treating. We had a bowl of all of D's candy we wouldnt eat to pass out and only had 1 group of 4 girls come by. It was really fun though, and when we got home D had to go potty and when she sat on that potty she said "this was the BEST halloween EVER!" hahaha it was cute and i was glad she had a good time.

This is the morning after when she got to eat her (disgusting) donut....ewe.
(she did have an actual breakfast after eating the frsoting!)







that day the boys were EXHAUSTED. Colton is the lightest sleeper. you walk into that room and he pops up. But i went in to get Kemp and he stayed asleep. he was too cute i had to get a picture. he even stayed asleep during that. (and yes, those are D's old bumpers! he puked on his about a month ago and they are a pain in the butt to put on so he's going to have to stick with a half girly crib!)



i dont know where these pictures went... but they were from when we were up at mom and dads last. I dont know WHAT she was trying to do but when i said "say cheese" she started modeling like crazy. it was hilarious.






and another of all the boys. i didnt realize I had this pic! Paysen knew just what to do hoping on the back of the stroller. 


I finaly charged my video camera. hopefully ic an get more home videos of these little kiddos. I love when i see other people who have videos of when they were a kid. i want to be able to have these for my kids when they're older.

Pumpkins and Brownies


these are the kiddos (and D's painted pumpkin) before our ward halloween party. The boys... oh those boys. We weren't going to do costumes for them this year but i found the tops for $2 at a thrift shop but realizedi had no pants that fit them to match HAH. so they look a little ghetto. And they hated the hoods on. But they are still cute.

I realized we didnt carve a pumpkin so last minute we bought one and After Zumba on Monday I carved one with D - plus we love roasted pumpkin seeds!


D says maybe when she's older she will touch the "gunk" in the pumpkin. she thought it was funny when i tried to "pretend" feed her



oh yes. we also made brownies - note empty plate with brownie crumbs. Theboys got upset when they didnt get any. so they had their first brownie.










this little boy LOVES to point. i love his little smirk behind his blurry pointing hand.



Tomorrow is halloween! Tom is helping his Leadership class from school at the elementary school's halloween party so we will go to that for a little bit and then back into town where the main street stores hand out candy. I think thats all i can handle with the kids on my own. 


also dont miss the other new post below - just random pictures from the past week

Inside Play

last week was gorgeous. We went to the park almost every day in the afternoon when it was sunny and 70 degrees. Then it got cold - fall is definitely here. The fog doesnt leave till lunch time and the ground is constantly wet and the clouds are coming. So we've been playing a lot inside. Days like these i wish we had a place like "scottys placehouse" back in McMinnville. (and indoor play place that was free...) although im not sure how i would chase 2 little boys around on my own.

here is what we've been up to the past 2 weeks.

The other night i was doing dishes and Tom walked into the living room and saw D passed out on the floor.


these boys were having quite the day.... toys were thrown resulting in cuts on the head and kids were falling face on the floor resulting in fat lips. Then comes baby einstein on the computer and they wanted to sit in the laundry basket...






then that didnt work. so we went to the thing they love the most. the computer chair. They look SO big.


coltons ouchy


Kemps fat lip (and his eyelashes!!)



then D wanted to have a picnic with the boys



love this next one of Mr. K.

















D said she needed to pose.
