Attack of the Volcano Monkeys!

We checked this book out of the library the other day and LOVE it.  You should read it to your kids...it's super cute!

Catch up

Since I'm supposed to be posting more often, and nothing notable seems to be happening right now, I thought I'd do a little "catching up" on posts I should have done before :)

My sister had surgery in September so J. and I went to Utah county to help her with her kiddo's .  Thank heaven for home school!  I don't know how we would have managed the "trip" if J. was in traditional school.

We were able to slip away one of the afternoons to visit family in SLC.  J has lived away from northern Utah for so long that he can't remember ever going to the planetarium, temple square, etc. so we thought it would be fun to go.  At first we were kind of disappointed because everyone was busy and couldn't come with us.  It worked out nicely though.  I was able to spend some time with my little guy doing something other than the usual day-to-day stuff. 

We really really missed MBH!  We will definitely have to go back to see the lights this Christmas...

all 3 of us!

Halloween

I LOVE HALLOWEEN! 

The cooler weather, falling leaves, corn mazes, pumpkin carving, costumes,

the smell of cooked pumpkins...all of it! 

Isn't he the cutest Spiderman EVER?  He said that super hero's that fly are his favorite so I think he'll be Superman next year, besides, check out those bangs!  Throw a little gel on them and he'll look exactly like Superman. :)

We hope you all had a great Halloween as well. 

Now, are you ready for Christmas? (don't you hat how the stores put Christmas items out at the same time as the costumes?  It drives me crazy!
