Happy Halloween 2009!

Happy Halloween!

We went to the pumpkin walk down at the North Bingham Countay Park and walked through and saw all the decorating scenes that were made with pumpkins. Then at 4:00 the started handing out all the Halloween Candy. We had lots of fun!

Dyllon is a Dragon!

Brianna is a Pink Poodle!

Matthew is a Vampire!

This year was fun dressing the kids up for Halloween. Matthew wanted to be a vampire and I have to say, I am pretty proud of my face painting job. He was so excited to have blood coming from his mouth. He would ask about every 3 mins, can we put the blood on yet? I would just say, "that is the last thing we put on, be patient" He is a very presistent little boy. We borrowed my nieces Pink Poodle ears and then I bought the pink sweat outfit and we put together the rest of the outfit. I got Dyllons costume from Old Navy. We started the day off by going to Kings's and getting the kids picture taken and get them entered in the best Halloween Costume. Ther are three prizes and we should know if anyone won in a couple more days. Then we went to the Pumpkin Walk. After that we hit three houses and ended up at my mom and dads on the fourth house. Brianna started not feeling good so we came home and got the kids to bed by 7:15. We regretted that because with the time change they were all up by 6:30. We stayed home from church because Brianna still had a fever. She did not go to school today and we took her to the doctor and she has strep throat. When I got home Dyllon started complaining that his throat hurt and now he is running a fever and he has thrown up twice, so I am off to the doctors again when Robert gets home from work. Hopefully I don't get sick because I am in charge of one of the projects at Super Saturday this weekend. Well off to make chicken noodle soup!

Happy Belated Birthday Dad Hall

So I got so mad at myself. I took the camera out to Malta for the Roberts Dad birthday and I did not even get it out, I was so mad. I do have to say though that it was a lot of fun to have all of his siblings there for the Saturday birthday lunch, minus his sister Arlene. We hate having them live so far away and wish they could have been there. Friday Charles and Annette, John and Holly family, and Robert and I family all showed up out to Malta, and then on Saturday Corey and Kerry's family showed up. Richard and Marlene live out there now so of course they were all ready there. We all had a big birthday lunch for him and had a fun time visting. I hope that you (Dad) had a good time and was suprised. We love you and appreciate all the things that you have done for our family.

I can't believe it snowed today!

Well I don't have any pictures to prove it, but it did snow today. Yesterday was such a beautifull day, and then today it was way cold. We even have to turn our heater on so we will not freeze tonight. With the change of weather means sickness. Dyllon already has his first cold, poor thing. Well I would rather deal with that then the flu though. The flu has been going around a lot lately, and we even have had three confirmed cases of the swine flu in the High school here in Shelley. Hopefully we can stay away from that. We our out of school for 2 weeks due to spud harvest so hopefully everyone can get feeling better out there. The kids our doing great. Matthew and Brianna love school, and Dyllon asks me everyday when he gets to go to school. Some days he will put on an old back pack of Matthews and walk around the house with it full of books and toys. He is so cute and I wish he would quit growing up so fast. Next year will be hard when he gets to go to preschool. We got our garden all picked last night so nothing will freeze, and we have lots of spahgetti squash. Roberts work is still good. He is still considered temporary but hopefully soon he can get on permantly. He really likes his job and so do I. He has great hours and we get to spend more time with him. Well that is about it for tonight.

Pictures of the kids!

Today I was trying to get some cute pictures of the kids, I have gotten behind on just portrait pictures and this is what I got. They did pretty good but all my kids have fake smiles. We really have to work hard on getting them to smile. Brianna would wine and Dyllon would not hold still. Matthew did pretty good, but he would try to mess around. Now I know why I don't try to take a lot of pictures of them. It is such a fight.

Hi I have not blogged for a while!

I have not taken any new pictures but I felt like blogging today! I got this great idea from another blog and I really like it. She usually has pictures of her kids but she just journals on her blog and let's people know what is going on in her life, and that is why I am making my blog private most likely. E-mail me if you would like an invite. shallmk@hotmail.com. School is going great for the kids. Its fun to see how differant Brianna and Matthew are. Brianna does not fight doing her homework, and Matthew still does. My sister Kim told me a few funny stories about Matthew the other day and I thought I would share. I guess there is a girl that chases him around at recess and tries to kiss him and my niece who is in second grade caught this happening one day. She ran up to Matthew and grabbed him and said "Matthew you can not date until you are sixteen years old". I thought it was pretty funny. Then my sister was doind this ladies hair that help test Matthew in school and they were testing letter sounds. I guess when the test was done Matthew looked up and said" This is the stupidest test I have ever taken". WOW! He is quite the character. Dyllon is becoming a major mamas boy because we spend all day together. He is so cute though and I love all my children so much. I am so lucky to be a mom and be able to stay home with them.
