Haaallllloooweeeeennn

We had a pretty good Halloween this year. I LOVE Halloween but for some reason I was in a funk this year. We didn't do most of the stuff I wanted to and I didn't even get out all of my decor. I don' t know what my deal is! But we still had fun. The weather was terrible so we did a trunk or treat inside. I hate trunk or treats because I think you have to work for your candy, but it was so cold I didn't put up too much of a fight. It was still fun!

I told the kids they had to fill up on veggies before the could fill up on candy!

Carving pumpkins. Mike loved it.

Chad, not so much.

Our new addition. Google TV. We have been talking about a new tv for FOUR years. We finally broke down.

Family pic. Gracie the Cat, Chad the cop, Mike the Spiderman and me the convict.

Leave it to my daughter to hurry and eat her candy before it was even over.

Dallin and Addy. Cute little neighbors.

Gracie and dad checking out the loot. Grace called Grandma Lydia to tell her all about her night.

Happy Halloween!!

Deer Hunt 2010

We were finally able to make it out to the hunt this year. We haven't been able to go the last 4 years. It was way past due. The whole family was headed out on Thurs and stayed till Monday, but we could only go Friday and Sat. I'm actually glad because it was FREEZING and rainy the whole time. No one shot anything, we didn't even really see anything, but we still had fun. And the kids loved it. As much as I would have liked the kid's to see a deer it's all about making memories anyway right? I'm glad we could go, but it's nice to be home!

I don't know if any of you ever feel the pressure to blog, but I sure do. Honestly, we have been so busy, but nothing worthy of a post. The biggest thing we are up to is Chad is building a fence for our yard. This project is HUGE. We saved some cash by buying the fence from scraps and Chad has had to sand the rust, re-paint, learn to weld, learn about rotting wood, and that's just to name a few. I'm so proud of this guy. I love his attention to detail. We get so many compliments on it and it makes the house look so classy. I can't wait to see it with Christmas lights! So even though this is no-big-news post, it's what we've been doing!!

Drying Logan apples. I love the colors.

Gracie and Mike testing the apples before church

Sorry Tay, you knew I'd post it :)

my very own handy man

We have the south side almost completely done

The kids LOVE to help. They are learning so much from him.

A side note: Roxy and Tie have become quite good friends. It is SO cute to watch! I love that they can play, then it keeps them off my couches!
