All is well

So tonight went perfect. Stephanie's instructor was awesome and let her stay at the halloween party for a while. Which Russell was so hapy about he talk about it the whole ride home. Kerry was a BIG help which i new she would be LOVE YA KERRY...She held my Connor the whole night. He hates his costume so much he dosn't want to do anything. Rylan had a blast tried to pick up everything in sight. I will post some pics hopefully tomorrow...Thanks Kerry and Steph you guys are the best i couldn't ask for a better family...

2 Halloween Party

So tonight i am taking a 1yr, 2yr and a 4yr old all the way out to Kirtland for the Halloween party. Ryan won't be able to come tonight he has to work late. So it's just me until i meet up with my HERO Aunt Kerry. I have to get Russell from the bus stop at 4. Then go pick up pizza. Eat and get the three kids in their Halloween costumes. I somehow have to fit time in there for Rylan the 1yr old to open her b-day gifts before we go. Her mom brought cupcakes for them to so i will have them Gobble them down. That shouldn't be very hard. I am hoping to take some pics of them outside before we go. HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! I started thinking about this evening and am thankful for Kerry helping i don't know how i would do it by myself, I have only one child for reasons just like this..I have no idea why or how parents do all of the things with their multiple children. They must take a lot of prescription medications. I mean i am trying to plan everything out so it goes as smoothly as possible, and that's just for one evening. I can handle it when we are just hanging out at home but to go out into a crowded place with tons of kids CRAZY...I must be CRAZY..Wish me luck I'm gonna need it. Oh yeah and i am trying to be there by 5:30....

1st Halloween party

Connor didn't want to wear his costume at all...
Finally he wore it and we walked to each sight to get some candy...

We wnt to an Orchard downstate with Connor's bubby Ethan. It was really nice they had a lot of fun. Connor Loved feeding the animals

They had icecream cones filled with feed. Thank goodness they were only a dollar we bought like three of them

The Movie

So after all the cookie making it was time to watch the movie. As you can see they were both zombies watching it. When the first transformer showed up my little Russell didn't even blink. It was the best night i have ever had with these two.

TRANSFORMERS!!!!!!

We waited months for the Transformer movie to come out so when it did it was a hot date with two of my favorite boys. We started out making sugar cookies. I made them from scratch for the first time and they turned out great.
We cut them out in spooky shapes.
The final product.
Connor with his..
Russell with his...They were both so proud of the cookies they made...

School and everything else

So school is going really good. Although i will be excited when this semester is over. I am ready to start something new and am looking forward to math and another English class. We have been very busy lately. We are tyring to get all the fun fall things done that we can do. Last weekend we went to an apple orchard which was a blast. This weekend we are going to a kids Halloween party and an adult Halloween party which will be fun. I love to dress up. Next week is Kirtlands party and i am taking Connor and Rylan the little girl i watch. It will be a lot of fun. We are planning on making ghost treats tomorrow with Russell, Connor, Jaden and Rylan. Wish me luck they will all be hopped upon the candy. It will be a blast. I love doing projects like that. We will be carving our pumpkins this week which will be fun last year Connor just painted his so it will be neat to see him cover in pumpkin goo. It will make for good pics. Ryan is done with his schooling, but has decided to take a couple more classes for more information. It is only a three week program. He is officially a certified electrician. He still need like 5000 more hours before he is out of the apprenticeship phase but that is just one more step that he has to take.

New floors

So we finally got our new floor in. I am so excited. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the kitchen and laundry room. I cant wait to paint the kitchen. I am waiting until i have time between school and babysitting my time is all used up. Ryan has one more class to do and he will be done with school. I am planning a party for him in two weeks. I am so happy that he will be able to spend more time at home. Then again i am so use to it being Connor and I when Ryan is home i am always asking him why he is doing it that way. I tell ya when you are use to things being done your way it's a pain to just bite my tongue and try to let Ryan do it his way. I will post some pics hopefully tomorrow. :-)

What's New

Thanks everyone for the B-day wishes. I had a wonderful b-day with my boys. It has been such a wonderful month. School is going so good. I am getting A's so far. We will see what next semester brings. :-) It has been an amazing fall. The weather has been incredibla. It was 88 yesterday. I still can't beleive it. Connor and I went and took some fall pictures. I will post...I promise. We have just been enjoying the beautiful colors of fall. We are in need of prayer though. Ryan is having an over the phone interview this week for Alaska. It would be an awesome adventure. I am nervouse and excited all at the same time. If he does get the job we won't be moving any time. I think he or Connor and I will be flying there every other month. So pray like crazy people we need it. Ryan just installed new flooring in my kitchen which i am very greatfull for. I am so amazed by my husband abilities. He is such a handyman. I will take some picks and post them. He did an amazing job. Well thats about it..:-)TTFN
