Cami And The "Fellabean"

Oh how I LOVE this girl!!

Last night, we were driving back home from Chad's parents' house when out of nowhere Cami yells out "fellabean". Chad and I look at eachother and say "What Cam?" So she says it again, "fellabean". Puzzled Chad and I scramble to try and figure out what she is talking about. Cami says "Remember in the scriptures Dad, fellabean?" Finally something clicks in Chad and he said "oh yeah did you learn about that in church today?" Cami says that in fact she did learn about that in church today. Confused I ask Chad just what they were talking about. He turns to me and says, "fellow being". I laughed and laughed. I have no idea how Chad figured that one out. I guess he has the gift of tongues.

The Turkey Tango Equals Sweaty Hands

Riley informed us last night that the Turkey Tango is on Monday in her school class. It was kind of a funny conversation. Here's how it went...

Riley: "Mom, the turkey tango is on Monday." (Heavy sigh)
Mom: "What's the turkey tango?"
Riley: "It's where the boys get up and ask the girl that they want to dance with to dance."
Mom: "Are you nervous?"
Riley: "Yeah. Last year Jay asked me to dance and my hands got all sweaty."

I thought that was so cute. She is so nervous to dance with another boy. I remember those days of sweaty palms and shaking knees when close to a boy. It is very scary. I have a feeling though that this is only the first of many experiences with boys for my beautiful Riley. Now we just have to teach her how to tell them to go away.

Trevor, That Color Goes Perfect With Your Eyes!!

Yes this is Trevor, my SON. Yes he painted his toenail blue. Yes he was VERY upset when I took the polish away from him. Trevor and his sisters had just gotten out of the bath and shower when Riley and Cami decided they wanted to paint their finger nails. They were hiding in the kitchen on the floor behind the island painting, but it wasn't a good enough hiding place. Trev found this lovely color of polish and decided that it would look just PERFECT on his toes. So he hid in this corner (atleast it was on the tile) and started painting. He only got one and a half nails done when we caught him in the buck and blue toed. Oh how I love you son...even your "sensitive" side.

I LOVE MY KIDS!!

My kids are the BEST!! I started working at The Children's Place a week ago just as seasonal help. I thought I'd like it a lot more then I do, but I guess that counts as a learning experience. Atleast I get a 25 % off discount out of it right. Anyway, while I'm at work, it's just Chad and the kiddos until I get home at 10:00-10:30 at night. My husband is the best Daddy in the world. I struggle leaving them each time but not because I'm worried about them but because I am going to miss them and miss out on fun moments like these...

Look at my sweet P. I miss this smile when I'm not home. She is growing growing growing. She is very mobile and independant...when she wants to be. She is always happy and I love that about her.

I know my kids miss me while I'm gone but I know that they have so much more fun with Chad. He's more willing then I am to do fun things with them like coloring and games and play dough. They are lucky to have such a good daddy. Peace out Riley, WORD!

All Hallows Eve

This year for Halloween, my kids all wanted to be super heros. So off to walmart we went. Riley picked bat girl, Cami picked wonder woman/girl, Trev picked Buzz Lightyear and Paityn got stuck with an elephant. She worked it though. We had the ward Halloween party on Wednesday, the family Halloween party on Friday, and then Halloween on Saturday. Lots of parties.LOTS of candy. We all had fun and the kids loved every second. Riley said that Halloween is her favorite holiday because she gets to wear makeup and people give her candy. Ah to be a kid again.

Riley as bat girl. A BEAUTIFUL bat girl.
Cami as wonder woman...Look at how pretty she is.

Paityn was a little elephant.That colorful thing on the front is her trunk. It was a wierd costume but she needed to dress up as something.

Trev was Buzz Lightyear. He was so cute. He loves Buzz and he made a really cute one.

Pait and I at the party

I LOVE this picture of Trev. It cracks me up everytime I see it.

Chad and I were salt and pepper shakers. Lame I know but hey we won the best couples costume at the Family Halloween party.(On the top of the gray beanies are black dots I sewed on to look like holes in the top of the shaker...get it?)

This is my crew ready to go trick or treating.Katie and Scott took them out trick or treating again this year. We LOVE that. Especially when the world series is on. Go Giants!Thanks guys! It was such a good night. Little bit of rain but they made it out and back without getting rained on. Look at how good they look. They are so cute!

Paityn was DETERMINED to say the least to get the kids' candy. As soon as the dumped it out of their bags she was on it. This is of Cami holding Paityn back. Paityn was NOT very happy at all.

She broke free and finally was able to get a piece of candy. Look at that face! She was so proud of herself.

Airplane Museum

Last weekend we went to the Hill AFB airplane museum. Andrew, Jenny and Tanner came with us. We had a pretty good time. We walked around and Trevor was really into it at first. He LOVES planes. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that he knows his Daddy works on the airplanes. Tanner and Trevor had a great time running around and soon it was time to go. We decided to go home with everyone and make some homemade pizza...YUMM!!... and some candies for the Halloween party that night...thanks for the help Jenny. All in all it was a great day hanging out with the family.

Trevor trying to make himeself fit into the pilot seat. He still has some growing to do.

My favorite plane. Don't ask me the name of it, I just like it because of the face on it.Now that is talent.

Trevor on the bomb on the plane.
Hold on Trevor!!
