Halloween 2010

It's never too late to post about our Halloween adventures....here it goes!

Brandon and the boys kicked the season off by decorating their pumpkins!

Chance really likes to take his time and be very serious when creating his jack-o-lantern!

Eastons creation.

Next up....Easton's preschool party!

His teacher mixed up some potion of glue and shaving cream, which created somewhat of a puff paint. The kids went nuts...most of them loved getting right into it!

Precious little Ninja of mine!!

Easton is so different than his Daddy and Chance. They despise getting messy....and "E" adores it!

Look at the other kids watching "E"...hilarious. What a weirdo:)

Elementary Parade

Addie: Princess Chance: Skeleton Biker

Yep, 2 days out of the hospital...that's Margo!!! The crazy woman walked to the elementary because she can't ride in a car for 3 months! People seriously mobbed her at the parade...I can't even remember if we saw our kids??? lol

Brandon at the parade....typical "man" on his phone during the parade:) At least he dressed classy!

This is my friend "Angies" little boy. I had to get a picture. Best costume of the year for sure!

Addie and her girlies:)

We had some time in between the parade and doing Addie's class party, so Easton decided to have lunch with the 5th graders. He thought he was hot stuff hangin' with Zac and Austin!

The night of Halloween, we went to the Erskines for a little chili, cornbread, and homemade root beer!

Again, another one of his "classy" t-shirts!

Ha, ha, ha....she looks like the girl on sixteen candles that couldn't drink from the water fountain because of her head gear!

And Rick and Jason really came through on the hayride again this year! The kids really look forward to it, and it is such a fun tradition!

Brandon's sister and some of her kiddos came to visit that week all the way from Pennsylvania! So, we had a little "Halloween" family party.

We had a taco bar, more homemade root beer, Robbyn's famous buffalo chicken dip, and birthday cake! Yummy.

Here's baby Colton (Zac & Sara's) new baby, with his Great Grandma Maureen.

It wouldn't be a family party around here, without a game of football!

What a loser I am...this is the only photo I got of Robbyn. I can't believe that. But anywho, it was so fun to have all the family together. It was the first time in a long time that Bob and Maureen have had ALL their kids together under one roof! Sooooo fun:)

Easton can't get enough of that baby!

Happy Birthday to Mckay!

Another great Halloween! Busy as usual....and EXTRA FUN!

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
