October 19 2013

Today Ryan and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary!!  We got tickets to see The Lion King!! Because it's at the Texas State Fair, we get to go there too!  A whole day, just Ryan and I!  It was fun, but exhausting.  The state fair is HUGE and we walked and walked and walked.  Haha. This is the only picture we took during the day.  I want one of these for our back yard :)


The Lion King



Ryan and I ready for it it start


I wish I could say we loved it.  It wasn't bad, but we both like other Broadways we've seen better.  I loved anytime they stepped out of the movie and did something different, especially any of the African dances.  The mannequins and especially the animals were very cool.  It was wonderful to be together and I LOVE that we are getting to do more cultural things now!

The kids are loving to pretend to be pregnant lately.  Evan's turn :)


We're in trouble now, they figured out how to get into the fridge...


We had so much fun at the ward Trunk or Treat!!  A friend took a picture of us that night.

Emmy was so proud of herself that Evan feel asleep next to her.  So cute!


Mindy invited us over to carve pumpkins!  So fun!  Thanks Mindy!

Hot dogs and Mac & cheese while naked. Every little boys dream come true... :)


Brayden was mad I made him face the table and didn't' let him bear it all for the pic like he wanted :)



Brayden decided to try going potty on the potty today!!  I have an adorable picture, but I can't post it on the internet.  Wish I knew how to edit photos!

Evan wanted to wear his towel like Daddy does after his bath.  So cute!  Love that my boys have such an amazing man to look up too.

Happy Halloween!

Captain America (Logan) Pirate (cousin Cooper) Fairy (Kaitlyn) Cookie Monster's Girlfriend (Emily-her words lol) Tiger (Evan) Lion (Brayden) We had a great Halloween!! Corbin was here too, but didn't pose for the pictures, he's a scary ghost.




Getting ready to trick or treat in downtown McKinney. It was crowded!! But fun!  I took the kids by myself (!) and meet Julia.  It was early in the evening and Ryan wasn't home yet.  A little stressful, but very fun!






Evan was sooo excited that Mickey Mouse was there!  He LOVES him!




Afterwards we meet my parents and younger sisters at their ward trunk or treat!! The Aunts had a blast taking my kids around and around trick or treating.  Love having them so close by!!

So sad they're blurry!! Brayden with Grandpa!



Brayden was so scared of Grandpa at first!  Haha, he did not like his costume!But Grandpa won him over with the candy :)

A very fun and way too much candy Halloween, about how it's supposed to be.

October 1 2013 - October 18 2013

10-2-13

We have a problem here. Its October and I am already SO done with home work duty... 

 The worse part is the kids are great about it. Logan is sad he doesn't have more. It's just stressful for me. I'll do better tomorrow.
  A lot of people here are doing home school, and all I can think is I can barely do an hour and a half a day of home work with the kids. I'm so thankful they have teachers teaching them!

Such an amazing talk. I'm excited to get my ensign and read it again and again. #iammormon #godisgood #elderhollandrocks!

PBL (project based learning) presentation in Kindergarten today!  Logan got to be in the Fireman group.  He LOVED it!





I asked the boys what they wanted for lunch. They both picked Nutella. I asked what should we have it with, and Evan says 
"With a spoon mom! With a spoon!" Haha, cute silly boy!
