HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Halloween everyone! I am so sick of candy i could scream but we had a fun time at our annual halloween party last night - here are some pics of the boys.
my little monkey
cuter from the back!


The "real" spiderman, as ryder called it
Obi Wan and Batman (kason had several parties and each one dressed up as something different. I would ask, "what costume are you wearing today?" and he would say "it's a suprise!" He was spiderman, darth vader, batman, and a ninja!

This is what i get when i try to get all of them at once, oh well....

Oh and here are jared and i at our "couples" halloween party, we had fun!

Bill O'Reilly

About a month ago Meredith was telling me about Bill O'Reilly's new book and how the on the cover was a picture of him as a little boy and that he looked just like Kason. I forgot about it, but last night i saw him on Dave Letterman and I couldn't believe the resemblance! Strange!



I guess this is what Kason will look like when he is old!

Happy Birthday KASON!!!

Kason, you are a special boy. When you were born they heard a heart murmur and kept you in the hospital. It was so sad for me to go home without my little boy. You had tubes up your nose and stuck to your face. Thank goodness you were just fine and we got to take you home a day later. We have loved having you in our lives these 6 years! Happy Birthday!!

Wow I was brave, I invited the whole kindergarten class to the party this year! There are 21 of them but in Mexico it is normal to bring along the whole family (brothers and sisters ) to stay too! (I did not know that) So we had TONS of kids. But I just ordered pizza, had some games, a pinata and cupcakes. Very simple but I am still glad it is over. Also, I will not be doing that again anytime soon!


We played a mummy game, it was so much fun!

I thought these 2 girls did such a good job!



CANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Letters

This has been going on for over a year now, the exchange of heartfelt drawings stuffed in envelopes, hand delivered back and forth. By the looks of this drawing Kason is in love with a curly haired girl! (Too bad they are cousins). So cute, I wanted to keep at least one of these for memories.

Homecoming, Reliving the Glory Days!

This post is for my dear SIL Jamie, i sure wish you were there to relive the glory days, but here are some pics of the fun!
Friday the JSA held their annual homecoming but had no one to play against. They asked the older alumni and of course they were more than happy to play and relive their "glory days" as high school football stars. They rounded up as much gear as they could, they had to tape on knee pads, had mismatched jerseys, and most wore bball shorts but they were ready to go! With no practice at all the "dinosaurs" as the team was so dearly nicknamed went out on the field. They did well and won with a score of 16-13. The young lobos gave them a run for their money but in the end the old men got the best of them. Jared is number 7 and here are some good shots of him in action. He made a 2 point conversion and lots of yardage as the running back. Thanks Laurice for the pictures!
Here is the whole team before the game
Here they come!!! Look at those hot supportive wives!

Jared is the first to rip through the sign

Yeah! go alumni dinosaurs! I think that is cade, danny and jared out in front

Sidelines

Go #7 Go!

Down he goes

Jared gets a fast break - is that what they call it in football????

He almost went all the way with this one but his "old man" legs just couldn't keep up a sprint after 40 yards!

Book Of Mormon Fun

Friday after school, Jamison went to his good friend Eric's house. Today I got an email from Eric's dad entitled "Book of Mormon Fun" He said after having a snack and finishing their homework it was time for some FUN!! They whipped out their book of mormons and started reading together! Maybe they will continue this friday night tradition until they are teenagers, wouldn't that be great? Or would it... hmmmmm...

Somedays i really am supermom!

I have been called "supermom" often and everytime i hear it i just think to myself "ha ha, if they only knew, i am no supermom not even close!" But once in awhile you really do feel like a supermom- i got so much accomplished today i don't know what came over me! Here's what i did:

Played outside with the boys
Made lunch
Cleaned, swept, and mopped kitchen
organized my shoes
Cleaned the bathrooms

Now I am going to sit down and relax and watch the rest of conference that i recorded in peace and quiet!

Do they look alike to you?

I was looking through Jared's baby photo album and I think Ryder looks so much like him as a child. Do they look alike to you???

I also think Jamison looks a lot like him too!
