Pumpkins





Here are our Pumpkins this year!!! Also, a picture of Gideon and Jeremiah's Monsters that they made out of stickers, oranges, and pipe cleaners!!! They had a blast making up stories about their Monsters!!!

Jeremiah's Silly Grin


Fun in PJS






One time while Aunt Danelle was here, the boys wanted to get into their PJS and have a slumber party!!! There wasn't much slumber going on because they were laughing and enjoying horse back rides from Daddy!!! Jeremiah loves to just lounge on Lightning McQueen!!!

Church History Museum




I loved taking the kids here! They enjoyed things such as discovering self-image, baking, and sewing quilts!

Dancing






At the Church History Museum, they had a center where you could dress up and learn how to dance! The girls especially liked this part, but as you can see Gideon wasn't too sure about it (either that or he was too shy)!

Fishing






We had the opportunity to go to the Children's Center at the Church History Museum! They had this big boat there and here are the kids helping one another catch fish to feed their families! Jeremiah thought it would be a lot faster to get into the water with the fish to catch them!

Aquarium






My flash through off the pictures of all of the sea creatures, but I thought it was way cute to see the expressions of the kids as they discovered new creatures, that they have never seen before!! My kids really enjoyed the part where they got to watch the Penguins feed!

Climbing






While visiting my Brother's Family, we went to the Aquarium! The kids loved to show us the sea creatures, but I think they enjoyed climbing on rocks, frogs, boats, and going through rocks the Best!

Driving




Here Debbie is showing Jeremiah how to drive a boat, Jeremiah is driving a truck load of animals, and Gideon is driving a Monster Boat!

My adorable Jeremiah

I love how Jeremiah loves to snuggle! Yesterday after church, he kept waking up from his nap and screaming (the worst scream I have ever heard in my life)! I finally picked him up and he just snuggled with me for a good hour! I don't know what was wrong (either nightmares, night terrors, or getting sick)! I really enjoyed snuggling with him though! Today he seems better, which is a relief! It scares me not knowing what is wrong with my children! Another cute thing that he did~today he came out of his bedroom, climbed onto my lap, held up his foot, and says ow, and imitates that he wants me to kiss it better! As soon as I kissed his cute little foot, he jumps off of my lap and goes running down the hall to play! I love how my children will come to me for little hurts or pains and are better with a kiss!

Big Surprise...






SNOW!!! We had our very first snowfall of the year today and tons of it!!! This is the most snow that I have ever seen Soda receive for its first snowfall of the season! Daddy, got home just in time to help the boys build a Huge Snowman! Thank goodness too, because I am not sure that I could help lift the very wet and heavy snowballs that my boys rolled! Here is the finished product! Gideon was very proud of it! Jeremiah was at first not interested in eating the snow and couldn't figure out why Gideon was chowing down on it! I guess he finally decided it was okay to eat, because he soon forgot about rolling the ball of snow and started eating the ball of snow!

Strong Boys






Today, Oct. 6th, we woke up to snow falling all around! Gideon could not wait to go out and play in it! He jumped out of bed, ate breakfast (really fast), and then got dressed! He came to tell me to get his snow stuff out and when I looked at him, he was dressed in his mesh football shirt and shorts!!! I laughed really hard because all summer I had to remind him to wear shorts and not long sleeve shirts and pants! I had him change and then we went out to play in the snow! Here the boys are trying to roll snowballs to make a BIG, HUGE Snowman!!! Gideon was too busy to stop and smile for the camera!

Getting Ready for Halloween



Here are a few photos of our Halloween Decorations! Thank goodness we got them up the day before it snowed! The picture in the window was made out of q-tips and Gideon made it all by himself! He was very proud of it!
