"Jump on it"

Last week i took some of my cute little neighborhood boys and my own little ones to "jump on it!" We are HUGE fans of this place, it's a great way to get some energy out of these boys. I somehow was the only adult! ;)

"Believe"

My sister Rachel, is a wish granter for the "Make a wish foundation" and has had the opportunity to touch so many peoples lives.

Macy's Believe campain has teamed up with "Make a wish" and this is all you have to do...

Write a letter to Santa and drop it in the Red Mailbox inside the Macy's store and for every letter you write, Macy's will donate $1. Last year we did this and in Boston's class and my kids loved dropping them off.

It's a fabulous Cause and so fun for the kids to get involved. Get excited & go to your Schools, maybe get the neighbor kids together and make it a party or a Family night. If you don't live close to a Macy's you can mail them to me or click here.

They are taking letters now...

Utah Cup...

Outdoor soccer is coming to an end, but it's NOT over! We have the "Vegas Cup" in January.{big smile}

We have been loving this beautiful fall weather. It's been great to watch Boston's games and not have to worry about it snowing. ha

They are now starting the "Futsol" season...

"couples retreat"

We went out on Saturday night with our friends Dusty & Angie to Five Guys, and laughed so hard at this movie...

I LOVED it!! So funny!

{some parts you may think are a little much, but we were dying}

This is it!

LOVED it!!!

It definitely made me want to dance! I would have LOVED this concert, he really is so dang talented! It is such a Wonderful Message!

We went with my friends Caryn & Cynthia and our Oldest boys. Don't think they didn't start doing the Pelvic thrust while we were in the hallways. hahaha I love these boys! They are now crazed Michael Jackson fans. Boston has been Jamming out the "Thriller" all morning!

a baby shower for Shannon...

NO not me...

One of my darling friends, who shares my name is having a baby boy in December.

We celebrated with her today. This will be baby #4 and everyone needs a little showering when it's baby #4... lets face it we need showering for every baby! I can't wait to meet this little guy.

Shannon's boys are Boston's little buddies and LOVE playing together.

This beautiful lady is also the Daughter of our own Utah Governer. I love that Boston came home from playing at their house one day and told me "i'm famous, i just met the Governer!"

Love you Shan!

me/shannon/jane

little cozy wanted to celebrate with her momma too.

Fall biking...

One of my most Favorite things in the world is Mountain biking!

I LOVE it, it's something that Cory loves too, and now getting Boston into this is so Awesome!

This Utah weather has been incredible, especially this week. We have had high 60's and almost 70 degrees today. HEAVEN!

So I took advantage of this week and went a few times...

"Lambert park" in Alpine

"Big Springs" up Provo Canyon

The colors are pretty much all gone.. Dang it, but you get the idea of how beautiful it is. I even drug my cute little niece Lauren out one day, she needed to experience Utah's finest single track trails.

I think she hates it! haha

little miss Ivy is walking!

Ivy is now 13 and a half months and finally walking.

My kids are late walkers, but she is now all over the place! It happened in like 1 night, she is so cute!

Sweet Swap

Every year my kids turn in some of their candy to our Dentist office, Dr's Hammond & Ellis. He in return gives them all t shirts and prizes. This year they did something a little different. For every pound of candy you turn in they donate $5 to Primary Childrens Hospital! We had 7 pounds of candy!

They also give all the candy to the soldiers in Iraq.

We have the best dentist ever... and they throw the best parties!

Happy Halloween...

call me a freak... but i love Halloween.

maybe because my kids love to dress up all the time.

maybe my husband is a good sport and dresses up with me.

maybe because we theme our costumes to kind of match. {wink wink}

maybe my best girlfriends and their families all get together for a pre- trick or treat dinner.

maybe i love taking my kids trunk or treating before trick or treating.

maybe all the neighborhood kids all trick or treat together.

and maybe

just maybe

because it's my birthday!

maybe my kids made me a birthday cake and were so excited to sing to me...

i pretty much have the Best birthday you could ask for.

Dancing on Halloween.

On saturday morning, {Halloween} Olivia got to dress up in her costume and go to dance. She is Loving this dance stuff, and loves her teacher mrs. alexis. I love when her teacher says to the girls "whats the magic words?" and the kids yell "five, six, seven, eight" ;)

they danced to "Thriller" and when she came home she showed her dad all her new moves she learned.

She loves this...

Stay tuned for Halloween night pictures...

School "Halloween" parties...

Friday was a busy day... I got all the kids in costume and off to school. I took the twins and Ivy with me to Boston's school parade to see all the cute costumes. They loved it.

Then they went off to their school party.

Hayes {Capt' Hook} and his buddies...

Jack {Hulk} is Hayes' best buddy.

Olivia, {Ariel} and her besties...

all of these girls she talks about daily. We LOVE their Teacher!

In Boston's class we had 3 stations... a cookie decorating station, bobbing for donuts and then my station...

I decided since we had the gym to do some fun games.

I ripped up some sheets and the kids had teams and did Mummy Relay Races! They loved this. Another hit was tying balloons to their ankles and having 3 teams {orange balloons, black balloons, and white balloons} they had to try to pop the other color balloons to see what team won first.

It was so FUN, they definitely got some energy out! haha
