Gingerbread Houses

Tyson was dancing to "The Grinch" while we were decorating the gingerbread house.

Decorating at Clarke's

Decorating with Houghton's

One of our Christmas traditions is making gingerbread houses. We get to decorate one with Houghton's and one with Clarke's. We have so much fun, and they smell and taste so yummy! Ryan is good at sneaking the candy off the houses and the kids are following in his footsteps:)

Halloween and Thanksgiving

I know that it has been forever since I have updated! It's because everytime I get on the computer my kids start crying and pull me off. They HATE it when I am on the computer!!! So I never have a chance to blog.
Here is our Halloween. We had parties at Clarke's and Houghton's and we always have so much fun!
For Thanksgiving we went to Clarke's and ate a yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Then I had to go to work:( and Ryan stayed at his parents and the kids played and had a great time.

My Turn

Last Thursday I had my tonsils and adenoids out. Let me just tell you....Makayla is so much stronger than I am!!! I don't know how she did it! It's been rough. I can't wait until I can eat something and it doesn't hurt. Ryan has been so awesome through the whole thing. I'm so thankful for his patience with me and taking care of the house and the kids. I hate feeling like I can't take care of my family. I love my family so much!!!

This Month...

October is the month of the HUNT!!!! Ryan is gone for 3 weekends in a row. The first 2 are for the elk hunt and the 3rd one is deer. Ryan goes with his dad, his Grandpa and Bryon. This was Bryon's first year elk hunting and he is the only one who shot an elk!!! They all had fun getting off the mountain!:) For the deer hunt Ryan goes with my dad, my brother, Byron and Auston. (Next year Evan gets to go!) They didn't have any luck with the deer hunt:(

While they are gone Misty and I hang out and have lots of fun! We made bats out of black balloons and paper, ate great food, went through baby clothes, dealt with CRAZY kids, and went to the Enchanted Woods at The Treehouse Museum!

Huntington Beach

She did it!!!

And is doing GREAT!!!!

Tonsillectomy!!!!

Makayla is suppose to get her tonsils out tomorrow. We are going in today to do the pre-registration stuff. She has had a cough but isn't coughing hardly at all anymore, so hopefully they will still do it. I'm nervous for her, she has never had any kind of surgery before. It's always a scary thing. She is really brave and pretty tough, so I'm sure she will do just fine. The bad thing is that I have to have mine out in a month!!!! I'm really freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
