Halloween

 The annual pumpkin carving!

 

Costumes! Not sure what Brayden was some mix of monster/phantom/vampire. Brecken was a witch and Brailee was a princess but all she would put on was the dress with a bunch of stickers she got at the babysitters. This was Brailee real first year of understanding trick or treating and it was fun to watch her go up and say trick or treat although that was only temporary after a while she just walked up and practically walked in people's house to her herself some candy, she is no dummy.

Get Air

The kids went to a birthday party for some of their friends at a place I think was called "get air" and they had a ton of fun bouncing on huge trampolines and into foam squares.

Snow Day!

Thursday Oct. 25, 2012

This week I started training for the early shift for a couple weeks and everyone knows how much I HATE driving in the snow, well this particular day I had to be up to the school at 6 a.m. and I did it and the van drove very nicely although I guess the hill up to the school became more slippery and they had to close Weber canyon both ways and the buses could not get around to get all the children so right before 8 they decided to close school for the elementary kids, that would of been nice to know so I didn't have to get up at 5:15 a.m. but oh well I went home and the kids had lots of fun after Brayden came home from school (whom was very disappointed he had to go and Brecken didn't) they played all afternoon in the snow. I think we got about 9 inches that day it was crazy.

Grandma Larsen

 This October has been a somber one, our beloved Grandma Larsen pasted away after having a massive stroke on Oct.1 It has been a sad but good experience. I will miss her terrible she was a good lady.  But I wouldn't trade the experience I had being with my family in the days before her burial I was able to visit with cousins I have not seen in many years, have many good spiritual talks with family members and grow closer to those I never had the opportunity to in the past.  It makes me sad that it takes death to bring families together sometimes.

Elk Hunt 2012

 We had the oppertunity to go elk hunting this year for a couple of days and unfortunately Robert didn't get an elk but uncle Brandon did and we helped pull it out. It was fun to see what Brailee thought about that elk. She talked about it for days.

 The kids made a tree hut.

 We went up the 2nd weekend and this is what we woke up too on Saturday after sleeping with no heater all night long.

I know its been a while since I've updated my blog but I truely have no new picture's I will try to take some this weekend and post sometime soon. Hope everyone is doing well and LOVE ya all.

Brayden's Webloe

Brayden received his webloe award last week. He is almost a Boy Scout!

He is growing up too fast.
Brayden was so excited because he was chosen to be part of a flag retirement or "flag burning."
He thought that was pretty cool.
It was a first time for me to see a flag burning also it was kinda emotional, yet neat it sure makes you feel good to be part of a free country and im grateful to all those who serve my country to help keep me safe.
