Work hard, Play hard

Today Mason was put on the wall for his first lesson from Papa at plastering. Nothing like a little hard work. I think it is important to teach our kids now the true value of a hard worker. It is never to early to start. He was so excited to have his own small working tools. What is better then mud for a boy. I forsee summers when he is older helping papa at work. A little play is fun to. We went to the Adventure Dome to have some fun family time. It is no Disneyland, but it is still fun for the kiddies. I am going to have to wait for Lacie to get bigger, so I can ride with somewone on the big rollercoasters. Morgan is not to fond of them. Lacie is just like me. Major thrill seeker. Hurry and grow Lacie! A little hard work brings out some fun for us.

Trick or Treat

Wow, I can't beleive another Halloween is over. We have been having lots of fun being with family and friends. We went to Springs preserve for Aunt Jamie's birthday to play and get some CANDY, we went to a Halloween party, played with friends and got more CANDY, off to the ward trunk or treat for more CANDY,and went to grandma's and grandpa's on Halloween night for chili and fun, and more CANDY! We are now on a major sugar high. The kids had alot of fun. The holidays come and go so quick. I feel like I just got thier costumes and now it is over. This starts my favorite time of year with my kids. I love seeing thier happy faces and the joy in their eyes. Thank you

to all who helped make Halloween filled with memories. We love you all!

Mason is really excited every week for school. How could you not be happy to go to Mrs. Tate's. He got his first homework packet, he could hardly wait to get started. Hopefully that will carry on throughout the years. He was most excited about the daddy skeleton he made today. He made a very anatomically correct boy skeleton. I love kids and their attention to details. Man I am going to be sad when Mason goes away to school all day. He is my best buddy, I hate that he is growing up so fast.

Lacie's 7th Birthday

I can not believe our little tink is already 7. I love seeing her grow up, but am so sad it happens before I can even blink. Lacie is such a joy to have in our family. She is spunky but so sweet. We love you Lacie!

Toothfairy note

So Lacie wrote a cute letter to the tooth fairy of her requests when she took her tooth. She made sure the tooth was extra clean, brushing it so the toothfairy would do the things she asked. The tooth fairy was pretty nice, leaving her hand prints. Boy does Cynthia the tooth fairy write small. I remember getting my own letter from Cynthia when I was young. I love moments like these, and for being a mom!!

NUMB!!!

So today Lacie had to go get a cavity filled. She was a trooper not even crying with the shots in her mouth. She was so funny about how her mouth felt after she was done. She asked if she would be able to eat next week. I told her it would only be a few hours of numbness. This is the smile when she found out she didn't have to starve. She is my bottomless pit when it comes to food. I wish I had her metabolism.

Can you spank grandpa's?

Well this is what Morgan came home with after her weekend away with her grandparents. Three hermit crabs!! I must say Morgan was so excited to have a pet, so she had to make sure their was one for everyone. Bless her heart. I am not a huge pet person, so my kids are pretty deprived in that area. I have to say I get a little grossed out by our new crawling family members. Papa is going to have to come and clean the tank out, since it was his bright idea. I love my parents and am so glad they will do ANYTHING to please their babies.
