Halloween Parties!!

Is it Halloween time of year again. Boy time flies. We have had a busy week with Kamden's birthday and up coming events. Monday Kamden got to take a friend to tap/ballet. She took her friend Teigen she had a great time. Tuesday was her birthday we had a friend over to play. Then we had Teigen over later in the evening her brother cut his head open and her mom had to take him to the emergency room. Then we she got home her little brother bit through his tongue her mom said it bled for hours. So it was a late night for them. Anyway on Wednesday at preschool they had a party for Kamden's birthday. They have the kids bring there favorite cake and they make it there at preschool and send the other 1/2 of the cake home. She got a really cute crown. Then they had two more kids birthday party on Friday. 3 out of 11 kids birthdays in one week wow.

Cole had scouts on Wednesday. I always ask him so what did you do at scouts. He always says, "oh I climbed the tree". I always say I know you climbed the tree but what did you do at scouts. They climb the tree after scouts but he can never remember what he did in scouts. I am just waiting for the day when they call me to tell me he broke an arm or a leg.

Thursday we made caramel apples for the ward party on Saturday. That was the first time I have every done caramel apples. We did the wraps. They didn't work out quite like we thought they would.

Friday Kamden and I went and got our haircut. We haven't had haircuts since May. So I thought it was time. Friday night they had a party at Cole's school. I helped out at the bounce house for more than 1/2 the party while Ryan took the kids around to all the different things. They had a really fun time. That is where all most all of the pictures were taken. Saturday morning Ryan and I donated blood. Cole got all good marks this week so Melanie took him out to a movie. The rest of us went and tried to find the right color to paint the kitchen and family room. I don't think we have found it yet. We then went to the church Halloween party. It was good. They had pizza and salads for dinner. They had two bounce houses a cake walk, decorate a pumpkins and a bowling game. They they did the trunker treat. Oh for dessert they did the caramel apples and cotton candy. The kids loved it.

The kids still have a couple of more times to wear there costumes. They are getting some good wear out of the costumes this year.

Cole's Baptism!

Well I up loaded pictures a few weeks ago and then I have added some. So all the pictures are backwards. Most current at the beginning and the ones from a weeks ago at the end. Most days I feel like my life is out of control and there are definitely not enough hours in the day. A couple of weeks ago in Kamden's soccer the pasco high girls soccer came and gave the kids t-shirts and invited them to a soccer game. Kamden has one more week of soccer. We are trying to decide weather or not to put her in basketball through the YMCA.

The next pictures are some of when grandma Bassett and grandpa David where here. They were here for about 10 days. We love it when they come. We play a lot of cards. We also had them over two Mondays in a row for dinner and the well we played cards. The picture of carter is while we were playing cards he loves to eat and he put this cookie in his mouth I thought it was so cute.

The next few pictures are of Cole's baptism. It turned out pretty nice. It was nice to have people Cole knew to participate. Grandma Schultz and Bassett gave the two talks. As you can see Melanie also played the paino. Jillian lead the music Denny was a witness grandma and I gave the prayers. I guess I should say Kamden and Jillian lead the music. Kamden really wanted to lead the music so Jillian was nice enough to let her help her. It was really cute. Denny, D.J and Brooke(Ryan's brother) came up from Utah and Bailey and Kooper came from Idaho (my sister and her son). And of course grandma Bassett and grandpa David were also here. There were about 6 other families there also. I thought it was a really good turn out for his baptism. We then had pizza and Chinese food after the baptism with all the family and a some family friends.

The next group of pictures are of our family at the pumpkin patch. We went a pumpkin patch out on the freeway. They had a bounce house slide, petting zoo, hay maze and hay tower, they also had a corn maze, horse rides and a hay ride out to pick out your pumpkin. So we did it all except the horse rides that was an additional $5. We were there for a couple of hours they kids had a good time. Carter loved the animals. He kept going in to check them out. Cole wanted the biggest pumkin he could find. We told him no he had to be able to carry it back to the hay ride. So we turned around and he was rolling this huge pumkin over the ride. So he was very resourceful. He wanted that pumkin and he got it.

The next pictures are of Kamden's party. With the baptism and grandma here and a few halloween parties coming up I didn't do so well on planing Kamden's party. So we throw it together very last minute. I called everyone on Thursday and some on Friday. So the little kids painted there pumkins and the adults curved there pumkins and we had cake and ice cream and opened gifts. She had a Hello Kitty birthday party. She had a good time and that is all that counts right. She was still saying thank you for all her gifts this morning. She was excited about them.

I have to tell you this cute story. Last week durning the night I went in to check on Kamden after I had been in to check on Carter and Kamden was uncovered and it was cold so I covered her up. (Now Kamden had been waking up in the morning tell me her dreams for a few days) So the next morning Kamden woke up and came down stairs and said mom last night I had a dream about Jesus. Oh I said what was it about. He came into my room and covered me up last night. I thought that was so sweet.

And Bailey you will love this one. I got told by Cole last night, "Mom you look like aunt Bailey". I asked him if that was good or bad, "oh he said good".

Mom wanted to know when I was going to update she said she has been looking at the website. So here you go mom.

Busy Kids, adventure Week!

Do I even need to post. What have we been doing of course boating every Saturday warm or not we are out there. Last weekend we took some friends out with us. Cole is finally done with football he will start wresting here pretty soon. Kamden is doing a soccer clinic on Thursdays. She loves it, she didn't want to do it at first but she loves it. I have been going into Cole's class on Wednesday this year. Kamden love preschool. Twice since school has started her and a boy from her preschool have been down to the park to play. Kamden and Cole both stay very busy. On Monday and Thursdays after tap/ballet and/or soccer she falls asleep in the car on the way home. She is totally exhausted.
I have started watching a friends two kids on everyother Tuesday and Thursday. I am not sure yet how I feel about it. I will have to let you know.
Last Friday someone busted out our van window and stole my purse. So all week I have been trying to take care of that. It has been busy!
Tomorrow we are baptizing Cole we are very excited.
