BOO-ti-ful

Remembering. . . . .

Dallin's first Halloween as a loin, then a lil' monkey. Then his little sister joined the pictures as the most adorable, chubby piggy along with Woody, Dallin loved wearing his cowboy boots. Then a ladybug, spider man and so forth.

O' how sweet memories are!!!

trick-or-treating

Happy Halloween

The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday morning we started the day by going to our local pumpkin patch with Penny's Pre-school group!

Made noodles in the afternoon for some yummy chicken noodle soup for dinner.

Notice in the noodle picture my sweet Penny whistling while she helps me lay out the noodles to dry, i love listening to her whistle or sing primary songs where ever she's at and with whatever she is doing. Luv it :)
I have been sick with a double ear infection - it is miserable to not be able to hear out of one ear and both ears is awful. I get congested in my sinuses which causes my ear drums to rupture, fluid is then in my ears and i can't ear!

On to better stuff - - I have been putting these fun notes in Dallin's lunch. He wants to be a Jedi for Halloween. The notes say "Student by day- Jedi by night" &

And the last picture is of the kids watching the movie Charlie Brown and the great pumpkin, the look on there faces is hilarious :)

For Pre-School yesterday the girls learned about the letter G
so we made these Ghost hair clips for our craft project :)

Columbus Day & Grandma came to visit

for a Celebration of Columbus Day we went to a local high school and they had a variety of booths set up for kids - face painting, cake walk, robotic engineering, and the kids were able to color their own tie-dyed t-shirts - Lots of cool stuff!


Penny and her friend at there soccer game & Grandma came for a weekend visit!


Allison had way to much sugar this weekend, but she loved every bite :)

The kids had a good time with Grandma! It never lasts long enough! Reading books together, painting fingernails, giggling, playing, treats and gifts :) They are well loved!

They decorated a Halloween cookie house with Grandma too.

GOOD TIMES!

and a quote from General Conference

kiddos

this little girl has so many facial expressions! When she is doing something she's not supposed to she winks one eye closed and scrunches her face, it's hard to explain but it's so cute!
Even when she cries she's cute, Allison gets away with way to much because of her CUTENESS :)

Mr. D.

i love this boy!
We took a nature walk this evening and watched the sun set.

Getting snacks ready for Conference

The kids are excited for tomorrow, we have a Conference packet ready and yummy snacks! Dallin wants to make a tent in the living room today as soon as he gets home from school.

Happy October and have a great weekend listening to Conference!

A quote for your weekend ♥ ♥ ♥

little sweetheart flowers discovered in Garden Valley ID, we had a little picnic off the side of a road and found these lil' beauties. They were thriving in dry soil and i love the ♥shape petals!

I hope you all have an extraordinary weekend!!

Mr. D.

Last night Dallin spent the evening outside with his Buddy - (BUDRCUP, a butterfly) That's how Dallin spelled his name ;) He was sitting on the back patio, drawing pictures, he said "i love it out here, it feels so good."

There's nothing better than a nice autumn evening outside!

D. has loved going in the backyard and catching butterflies. This butterfly stayed on his shirt for a long time. You can see that picture in the collage.

Well, i haven't mentioned yet that Dalllin had to have three stitches in his lip last week. We went to a playground to play and we weren't even there for a minute, when Dallin was running to climb up the stairs on the play equipment and he slipped and hit his face on the metal stairs. He split his lip open and bruised his front teeth. He was swollen and sore for a few days. He was so brave with all the blood and needles for the stitching. He lived on soft foods for a few days and he has healed well.

Abuelo came to visit

for Penny's first Soccer Game Saturday Morning :)

And then in the Afternoon we went to Downtown Boise. It was a beautiful fall day, the kids played on the playgrounds, we had a picnic and went for a Bike ride. And the kids have wanted to go on the Paddle Boats. They had a blast with Abuelo! The kids were exhausted and so was Abuelo Saturday night! GOOD TIMES!

The Girls Room

For the past four years Dallin and Penny have shared a room. So, this past weekend we decided it was time to have the girls share a room. I love having all the pink girl stuff in one room, instead of mixed in with robots and reptiles. :)

BUTTERFLY GARLAND

I love the picture of the Savior with a Butterfly on his fingertip! So sweet and peaceful!

And new coordinating bedding from Target :)
