Happy Halloween!!!!!

Well, today isn't officially Halloween, but our neighborhood trick or treated today because tomorrow is Sunday. So the day was a pretty good day. I didn't know if i was going to like having the kids home all day on Halloween without school to keep them busy. I thought they might be really excited to go trick or treating, but we carved pumpkins and watched a show and that seemed to help. We had scones and chili for dinner to fill everyone up really good so they wouldn't eat as much candy. Then we were off . . . Everyone has their different times the can stay out. Wyatt did one street, Joshua made it through two steets and Abigail and Jacob are the die hards and went four streets. It was a lot of fun and the rain held off and only sprinkled a little bit. Yah. So here are pictures of the kids Halloween costumes. I told the kids we were not buying anymore costumes because we have so many. So Jacob and Joshua created theirs from the stuff we already had.

Jacob was a dementor from Harry Potter.

Joshua was a cowboy.

Abigail was a witch

and Wyatt was Elmo, (his favorite person in the world)




Here is a picture of the kids sorting through the loot . . .

Joshua's recieved his Bobcat

Last night was our pack meeting. Joshua recieved his bobcat for cub scouts. He is so excited to finally be in cub scouts. He is having a lot of fun.

First Snow of the Season

Today we got the first snow of the season. My kids were SOOOOO excited. They had to wake up and go out and make a snowman before school. It was still dark outside!!!

Joshua's Baptism

Well, this weekend Joshua got baptized!!! I can't believe I have two children old enough to be baptized. This is amazing. My children are growing faster than I can keep up with them.

This weekend was kind of a crazy weekend. My Mom and sister Sharolee came on Thursday afternoon. Wyatt woke up from his nap with a fever. Thursday night Wyatt didn't sleep very good and his fever rose to 105. So Friday morning I took him over to the doctor and our regular doctor wasn't in so I saw a different one. She freaked out when she saw his tonsils. She had another doctor come and look at them. They were not sure what he has. They tested for strep and flu and he didn't have either of those, so she said it was either mono or acute tonsilites. I was hoping for the tonsilitise. So we came home from the doctor and my mom and I had planned on going shopping but now we wouldn't be able to with Wyatt so sick. So John came home from work to watch Wyatt so we could shop. Thank you John, you are so awesome!!! My mom, Sharolee and I had a great time shopping and eating.

Then that night Wyatt's fever was high again. So on Saturday for Joshua's baptism a few of the Aunts and Uncles were too scared to come so they stayed home. We are thankful for the ones that did come and support Joshua. He had a great baptism day. The spirit was there so strongly and he was happy. It was a great day. We had Hawaiin Haystacks for the luncheon afterward as that is Joshua's most favorite dinner ever. It was a good day.

Wyatt's fever broke that afternoon and so far he has been fever free. I am pretty sure he was just having tonsilites. Hopefully his tonsils will go back down soon.
