Heritage

This past Heritage night was S & J's B-day month so they both got their birthday bags and did the Money Grab. J has been waiting for this for months. Stephen is the one who does it and of course right before his "Grab" he put a TON of gold dollars in it. Plus he did not have anyone pound his hand so he of course got the most! Only Stephen, then we had some wrestling wars.

Fun with Shaving Cream

I have to say I love blogs for many reasons but one of them is all the great ideas I get from reading them. They seem to be helping me become a more Fun mom. I saw this idea on of course someone's blog. Just some shaving cream, a poster board and 2 crazy kids.

Free Halloween

The other day we decided to hit up some FREE Halloween Festivities. Which we are all about. First was Superstition Farm, it was a pretty hot day but luckily they were giving out FREE milk which is all J wanted (Chocolate Milk that is ). Kate, Angie and Chantel met us there. Luckily since my stroller would not go over the rocks. I am always so thankful for friends at times like this, when going to any place with 3 kids. I feel I could never do it by myself. Though there wasn't too much to do there the kids still seemed to have fun. Later that night we went to Main St., every 2nd Friday of the month they have something and this one was all about Halloween the kids dressed up and even got to do some Trick or Treating, it was pretty fun especially running into all of our friends there.

Click, Take a Pic

In Cali. a year ago J bought this disposable camera that we of course never turned in. Which is nice because the boys love to play with it. Any time a camera is pulled out Hudson starts saying "Cheese"

Gen. Conference & Rolls

For General Conference during the break we decided to try Cinnamon Rolls for the first time ever, at least for me. Not only was it my First time making Cinnamon Rolls but also the first time using YEAST! I gotta say I was pretty proud of myself. I have decided this will be a new tradition for General Conference. It was a great day being able to sit with my family and listen to the Prophet and all the others that spoke. It is amazing how it seems like they are talking right to you and answering all your questions. They are truly men of God who are led by the Spirit.

My Boy is 5

Well my first baby has turned 5! For his actual day of birth he woke up to Crepes and Chocolate Milk for Breakfast ( his choice of course) on the Special Red Plate.

Next he headed off on a Scavenger Hunt for his presents (his new fav. thing to do). I thought he would open them along the way but he decided to save them all for the end. ( which really didn't work too well since I placed the presents in order of fun clothes first toys last) He of course loved all the presents but asked how come he didn't have a FUN present last, he had opened the clothes last. His fav. present was of course the book I made( more to come on that later) the JACKSON BOOK he calls it. He has only been asking for it for 8 mo. He also loved his tent, ever since he watched the episode of Jon & Kate plus 8 where they go camping in their backyard he has been wanting to do that. So I gave him a tent pack thing that comes with a chair, sleeping bag, flashlight and compass that I bought like 4 yrs. ago.



After that we got ready to go in town. When we got there my mom took J out to lunch at McD's and to go shopping for a present. They went to Toy's R Us, as soon as they walked in he spotted a Ben 10 Dvd and wanted it. My mom tried to talk him out of it and told him that we could just tape it on tv. but he wouldn't budge. He has been wanting a Metal Detector so my mom found one and asked him if he wanted that instead he of course said "How about you buy me that for Christmas"!

After shopping with my mom. Stephen and I took him Bowling. The first game he was having such a good time until he spotted a Birthday Bowling Pin and from then on it was downhill he kept asking for one but I told him that they are only for birthday pkgs and he decided he didn't want to bowl anymore.


After bowling we went to RA for dinner ( Yes his choice) for some Yummy sushi, he was so excited to try all the different rolls ( the other night when we went out for dinner J ordered the California Rolls and we all had some diff. ones so when they came J wanted to try some but my brother told him he had to wait for his, so when he saw that my brother was coming to dinner he got all sad thinking he wouldn't get to eat all the rolls. I assured him he could have whatever he wanted for his birthday.

After Dinner we headed back to my moms where Heather threw Colin a little birthday shindig with Homemade Oreo Ice Cream and Better Than Love Cake, and boy was it Yummy! 

For b-day presents this year with the Cummards Stephen has been doing the money grab. We thought Colin would really enjoy that since he loves MONEY just like those Cummard boys! His first go around he only got $15 so Stephen let him try again and luckily his number went UP!

Night with the Cummards

The other night we went to the Temple with the Cummards to see the Book of Mormon pictures at the temple. It was so nice to listen to all the cousins tell the Book of Mormon stories from the pictures. Afterward we went to the DQ and ate some yummy ice cream. Hudson sure went to town, and we let him.
