No more monkeys jumping on my couch!!

We had another fun week. The kids are going crazy not being able to go outside and play, they were so use to summer and playing outside all the time. Sean found a way to bring the outside in and use our couch as a trampoline and of course Carson had to follow big brother. I can not believe the air Sean was getting, he is one crazy kid!

Trying to jump as high as Sean

We decided to go swimming again this weekend since Sean asked us a million times when we could go again. This time we went to the Lehi pool. I like this pool a lot better mostly because the water is much warmer and it also has a nicer place for the kids to play. Carson loved that he could touch the bottom.

He could barely wait for me

to take his clothes off before he got in.

He sat at this water fountain for a good 10-15 minutes

just laughing and splashing

Such a little water baby

I had to stick this picture in. His new

favorite thing is to get everything (and I mean EVERYTHING)

out of the cupboards and play with them. He thinks the bowls are hats.


Snow day!!!!

Oh man!! We woke up Sunday morning to a ton of snow. We got at least a foot of snow. I am not much of a snow person, but Sean made me excited to go play in the snow. He could not control himself when daddy told him to look out the window, he could not stop laughing and giggling, he was so excited to go out and play in it. We were headed to Logan to have an early thanksgiving at Tommy's parents house, but we had to go shovel the driveway (and throw some snowballs) before we could leave.

Getting all our snow gear on

The sky was so pretty that morning

Eating on the job

After some fun snow time, we headed up to Logan, praying the weather would be nice enough to get there and back it one piece. (Coming home was bad in some spots, but we made it safe and sound) We went to Tommy's parents to celebrate Thanksgiving, and for Tommy's dads birthday. Barbara and Dave made a yummy roast dinner. We had a fun time playing, eating and watching Toy Story 3.

And of course it would not be Thanksgiving

without PIE!!

Fun filled weekend

The last 3 Fridays we went to Jump N' Bounce, the first week we went by ourselves, the 2nd week we went with our friend Justin, Julie and their cute little guy Landon and the 3rd week we brought my mom, dad, and little brother and sister, Brad and Ashlee (I can't really call them little anymore, I am the shortest in the family) We had a really good time. The boys wanted to make it a 4th week in a row to go, but I decided we should mix it up a little and do something diffrent. Friday night we had a fun night a home with the music cranked up and got our grove on. The kids love to dance, it is so fun to watch them shake it!! After that we busted out the Play-Doh and had a fun night making things. Sean made us all food, he made sure to tell us "you guys don't really eat it, it's just pretend..ok." Carson must have missed that part, because I caught him trying to eat it multiple times! The kids went to sleep so fast that night, all the dancing tired them out. Saturday Grandma and Grandpa invited Sean to see Megamind, he was so excited to go. We met my parents at the movie theatre, Sean had the biggest grin on his face when we left, he thought it was so super cool that he got to go the movie just him and grandma and grandpa. It worked out perfect because Tommy and me wanted to get a little Christmas shopping done for the kids. Tommy hated Toys R Us, it was so packed, but I told him to trying shopping all by yourself AND 2 kids. :) He was a trooper though, it was nice to have him there to help me pick out stuff. Sean went to lunch with grandma and grandpa too, then they dropped him off at home. Later that night we took the kids simming at the South Jordan pool. We hadn't been swimming since early this summer, so it was so fun to go agian. Sean was a little timid of the water at first, but after a few minutes he was a maniac! Carson loved it too, he was having so much fun splashing and kicking. Of course as soon we got home Sean said "lets go again!" (Probably know what we are doing next weekend)

Trick-or-treat, smell my feet!!

Sean's little friend Aylah had a Halloween party on the Monday before Halloween, I had to work so my mom came over and took Sean to his party. They were able to dress up and Sean wore his Superman costume. We made cute little monster hands to take to the party. We got a latex glove and used candy corn for finger nails and stuffed it with popcorn and put a spider ring on the outside. Sean thought those were super cool. It's so easy to please a 3 year old (most days anyways). Sean had another Halloween party on Thursday at his school. He was so excited to dress up, this time he was a pirate. He decorated cookies, played lots of games, and of course brought home lots of candy!!

Getting ready for his party!

Preschool party

We has a trunk-or-treat at the church Saturday afternoon. We went with our good friends the Brewsters. We were able to make it almost all the way through before the wind and rain started. The kids had a really good time. Carson really did not know what was going on besides people kept giving him candy, and he was LOVING IT. He kept trying to eat through the wrappers. We came home from the trunk-or-treat and put the kids down for a little nap.

Arr!!

I decided to dress up this year (I am such a kid and LOVE Halloween!) Sean wore his pirate costume to go trick-or-treating in, I was also a pirate and little Carsy was the cutest dang bat. Since I dressed up I decided to take the kids trick-or-treating and Tommy stayed home to pass out candy. We waited for the rain to stop, and we headed out to get some candy. Carson and Sean were running to the doors. Sean would ring the door bell and yell "treat or treat, smell my feet" or "Arr Matie" and Carson would bang on the door and say some gibberish. They were making we laugh. I liked holidays before, but the kids make me LOVE them even more. We had covered some pretty good ground when the wind started picking up, Sean wanted to keep trick-or-treating so I decided to take Carson home to daddy, then me and Sean could go back out. When we got home, Sean saw how much fun it was to run to the door and hand out candy, he decided he did not want to go back out in the cold when there was lots of candy to pig out on at home. (which was fine by me!) We enjoyed the rest of the night eating pizza and candy and watch the football and baseball game. The next day we went to church then headed to my mom and dads for our traditional Halloween day which is eating my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup and clam chowder. (she makes the best soup ever!!) We had a wonderful Halloween, hope you did too!!

He thought the little pumpkins were balls
