Poll

Ok, I only have a minute..... a messy diaper is calling. It is amazing what I will answer. : ) Anyway, I am starting to get my Holiday baking scheduled. I want to know who out there likes Grandma Mencl's Christmas Bread. I admit, I hated it when we were growing up, but I really have been craving it lately. So I am making some this year. If you don't respond to this poll, you might end up with some when you don't like it and you may not get any when you really would like some. I am also excited to make Grandma Thueson's Olympia creams, and of course a Pumpkin roll. I think this year I will be making Pinwheels, and Christmas Star cookies as well. So anyone who wants to come baking with me come on over and do let me know your favorites so I can include them in your packages.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Trick or Treat

Jason and Mia decided tobe the ones to stay home and pass out candy to the trick or treaters, so me and the boys set out with Jana Tabor and her boys from next door. Some of us are very glad that Halloween comes only once a year. On the up side, everyone slept really long and hard that night. They all were very happy with their costumes and very excited about the loot they gained. Joseph just kept saying, " Mom, they gave me candy!!!!!!"

Happy Halloween

This is the corn maze went to this year. We actually went twice. The first time we went with the ward primary, the second time we went with Trever on his preschool field trip. The slide was kickin'. Caleb and Trever would fearlessly run all the way to the top, and launch themselves down the slide in any direction. Joseph however was very timid. Being the good mom I am.....(ok it is more like the crazy mom I am) Mia, Mom and Joseph all went down together. I must tell you that it is one very tall, very quick slide.
We all had alot of fun, but missed Jason very much, as he had to work both times.

Big Man

The other day I set the juice out to get the boys a drink and got called into the bathroom to help Trever. When I got back Joseph was sitting on the counter, helping himself to the juice. Apparently he just couldn't wait. Terry, Pat, this scene reminded me immediately of you both, only you were a little bigger and standing in front of the open fridge with a milk jug. My Joseph is a mans man already. I have to teach the kid to use a glass, he personalizes anything he drinks with very visable backwash. YUM!

Trever The Fierce

Trever is going to his school Halloween party

today. He is excited to take the cookies to decorate

and to be a pirate. He also loves to see himself on video.

Personally I think a pirate is fitting. He often tries to mutany on me.

Trever had his first day of preschool a couple of weeks ago. He loves school, and asks every day if it is a school day. He absolutely loves Mrs. Sara. We personally think she is a bit nuts to try recorders with 3 and 4 yr. olds on the first day of preschool, but I guess a little crazy is just what these kids need. We love Mrs. Sara. A big thank you for all you do.

We had a fun trip to Twin Falls over Conference weekend. It was very rainy the first day, but lucky enough it dried up and Saturday the kids all went to the Pumpkin patch. They had fun, even if it was really really cold.
One of the big favorites is the Tractor train ride. They all had to go at least twice. It wasn't very crowded at all so they didn't have to wait in line.
The beauticians, Andrea and Tiana just had to give the boys, Andrew and Caleb their cool dude mohawks. And Grandma had pleanty of carmel apple suckers to go around. After such a busy day, they all wanted to watch a movie. Good thing Grandma and Grandpa have such a big couch.
